Gina Rawlins is rebuilding her life following a less than
amicable divorce. Now a single mother of two, she's also
trying to build a travel agency. When she visits the new
local bread & breakfast and finds it wanting, she's
challenged by the new owner, Max Broussard, to help him make
it right.
Max is moving on with his life too, following the death of
his wife. The B&B was their dream, one he wants to fulfill
for her. As Max and Gina work together, they each wonder
whether they're ready to move on, not only in business, but
in love, especially when Gina's ex-husband re-inserts
himself into her life.
Although AND MISTRESS MAKES THREE is seemingly about Gina
and Max, this novel is actually two tales of romance, one
sweet and one spicy. The story that leaped off the pages
for me was that of Celeste de la Vega, Gina's best friend,
and Alec Dunlap, one of the five Dunlap brothers previously
introduced across the first four books of the Invincible
Women series. Celeste's story is much more enticing, as the
interior designer is immediately attracted to Alec, a
detective warring with how to recover from a shooting in the
line of duty. Alec, who wants nothing more than to be left
alone, fights her—and his own—attraction every step of the way.
Celeste is full of life, and makes no apologies for that.
Alec is tall, dark, and smouldering, and one can just
imagine the sparks flying between these two.
Ms. Ray is still my favorite romance author, as no one
develops such endearing characters nor weaves such
intriguing plots, but for my money, AND MISTRESS MAKES THREE
was definitely Celeste and Alec's story, and I can't wait to
read more
about the incredible Dunlap brothers.
Gina Rawlins is dealing with a cheating husband, a messy
divorce, two
unhappy children, and a floundering travel business when
the very handsome new owner of the local B&B, Max
Chaneau, enters her life. Not only does he make her
heart pound, but it soon becomes clear that they need
each other. Max needs to turn the B&B around and the
first thing it needs is a woman's touch. And not just
any woman. He offers to redesign her website for a bit
of interior design help. As they work closely together,
Gina realizes that her ex-husband wasn’t her only chance
at love, even if Max has some scars of his own.
However, when her ex (and all his baggage) abruptly
reenters the picture, Gina’s love life is turned upside
down, while her daughter and son are ecstatic to have
their father home again. However Gina is left wondering
what she should do? Be with the man she loves or take
back the father of her children for the sake of her
family?
