This is the continuing saga of the Titan family still living
under the thumb of their controlling father Jed. You know
you have to learn from your mistakes. Skye Titan paid with
heartbreak the first time she listened and married Ray the
man her father chose. All ready in love and in her heart
committed to another Skye let her father force her hand. Now
it looks like history is repeating itself -- this time the
chosen one, TJ, seems to be attracted to her younger sister
Izzy but the prize is to be awarded to the next husband of
Skye and is not transferable. Izzy and Skye have always had
a somewhat difficult relationship and dealing with TJ is
adding fuel to the problems. Add to a complicated scenario
the return of ex-Seal Mitch Cassidy, the boy Skye
unceremoniously dumped at the demand of her father, now
injured and back at his ranch with many issues of his own to
resolve. Not the least of which is the undeniable attraction
to Skye and the addition of a new possible sign of her
betrayal -- an eight year old daughter Erin. The question is
how hard and cold has Mitch become. Just what is he capable
of in dealing with the chance that Erin is his. And of
course what choice will Skye ultimately make now as an adult
who hopefully has the backbone and strength to choose with
her heart. Let us not forget that Garth, Jed's newly
discovered son, is lurking in the background. Garth is still
doing his best to exact his revenge on the Titan family and
the unerring question is just how far he will go and is
anyone safe. Talk about being blunt, he introduces himself
as Jed Titan's bastard. Says a lot about the man and just
how much like his father he is.
First I have to admit I couldn't wait till this book was
released -- I was hooked after Under Her Skin. LIP
SERVICE does a good job of reacquainting us with the friends
and family of the Titan family. The reach of the family
continues to grow with each book and so do the characters.
Once again Mallery brings to light the conflicts between the
siblings and as we read Skye's story we begin to realize how
their lives have been so controlled. In this book we also
begin to see the siblings developing strengths of their own.
And I dare you to not fall in love with Erin. Now I eagerly
await the next installment. Enjoy.
Skye Titan's wealthy father thinks he can still dictate his
daughter's choice in men. Now widowed and a single mother,
Skye isn't the yes-girl she once was. Especially since the
love of her life is back in Texas after eight long years.
He won't like the answers to the questions he's asking.
About why she left him at the altar. And about her eight-
year-old daughter.
Former navy SEAL Mitch Cassidy comes home to find nearly
everything different. His wounds from battle have changed
the way people treat him. His cattle ranch is suddenly
organic. But time hasn't touched his desire for Skye—or the
sting of her betrayal. Forget lip service. He's asking that
luscious mouth of hers to reveal the truth. But will Mitch
be able to put the past aside to help Skye get out from
under her father's thumb…and help himself recover from a
broken heart?
