When I sit down to read a new book from author, Vicki Lewis Thompson I'm fairly confident that I'm going to get every penny's worth from it. Therefore with her latest title from Harlequin Blaze, WANTED I knew I was in for some good reading.
Nick Chance is one of three brothers who are now ranching The Last Chance that has been in the family since the late 1930's. Nick is not just a rancher, but a veterinarian as well. However, when Dominique Jeffries stumbles across Nick putting up fencing it's quite easy to think he's just a ranch hand, and not one of the owners.
The attraction between the two is instant and as I find to be fairly typical in Ms. Thompson's blazes the sex starts quickly and in this case anonymously as well. However it doesn't take long for names to be exchanged, and for Dominique to feel embarrassment as thinking that one of the ranch owners was merely a hand.
Both Nick and Dominique have trust issues that need dealing with, and instead of trying to work them together they end up tearing the couple apart. However, what is a good book without a bit of conflict, and these underlying trust issues need to be dealt with, and who better to assist than kindly neighbor and bed and breakfast owner, Pam? To find out why Pam wants to help you're going to have to read for yourself.
The only thing I found lacking in WANTED was a bit of the humor that I personally associate with Ms. Thompson's work. I totally enjoyed the book otherwise, and found myself glued to the pages until I finished. I'm looking forward to the rest of the trilogy, and extremely glad I don't have a long wait!
Photographer Dominique Jeffries has come to
Wyoming to find herselfβher creative self,
her sexual self. After escaping the engagement
from hell, sheβs dying to break loose and live a little.
And seducing a shirtless, sweaty cowhand looks
like just the place to start.β¦
Nick Chance isnβt exactly a cowhand but, hey, heβll
be whatever the lady wants! Only he soon realizes
that this is more than just a quick roll in the hay.
Thereβs something about Dominique that calls to
him, something about her that completes him.
Thereβs only one problem. Dominique wants a fling,
not another relationship.
Little does she guess how easily sheβll be
persuaded to take a Chanceβagain and again and again
