Philip Guthrie is one of my favorite characters from Hope's
Folly so when I found out that this book was about his
younger brother Devin I was thrilled. Luckily I was also
one of the beta readers for this book. When I finished the
last page, all I could say was WOW, what a book!
Devin has had the hots for Captain Makaiden Griggs ever
since she worked for his family. The problem is she is
married and her husband is a slime ball. When she leaves
the Guthrie employ after her husband is fired, Devin thinks
that is the end of it but little does he know. He also
knows that his parents are pushing for his engagement to
Tavia Emberson. There's nothing wrong with Tavia but Devin
just doesn't love her nor she him.
Then his nephew Trip goes missing and Devin drops
everything to try to figure out what happened to Trip.
Meanwhile Makaiden or Kaidee as she likes to be called has
problems of her own. Her husband is dead and she is up to
her eyeballs in a mountain of debt. Then she sees someone
she recognizes, Trip Guthrie. What's he doing on Dock Five?
He disappears before she can catch up to him. She needs to
find out what's going on before Trip gets into serious
trouble.
This is just the beginning of this action packed thriller.
I couldn't click the pages fast enough. Now my biggest
problem is who do I love more, Philip or Devin? I guess
I'll just have to wait until the next Linnea Sinclair book
to see which character she comes up with next. I'm sure it
will be a great one as always.
It’s been two years since Devin Guthrie last saw Captain
Makaiden Griggs. But time has done little to dampen his
ardor for the beautiful take-charge pilot who used to fly
yachts for his wealthy family. While Devin’s soul still
burns for Kaidee, she isn’t the kind of woman a Guthrie is
allowed to marry—especially in a time of intergalactic
upheaval, with the family’s political position made
precarious by Devin’s brother Philip, now in open revolt
against the Empire. And when Devin’s nineteen-year-old
nephew, Trip, inexplicably goes missing after his bodyguard
is murdered, this most dutiful of Guthrie sons finds every
ounce of family loyalty put to the test.
Only by joining
forces with Kaidee can Devin complete the mission to bring
Trip back alive. And only by breaking every rule can these
two renegades redeem the promise of a passion they were
never permitted to explore. At risk? A political empire, a
personal fortune, and both their hearts and lives.
