Riley Sinclair runs a successful boutique in Sinclair, GA specializing in everything a woman could possibly want -- she basically stocked the boutique with all of the luxuries a woman could possibly want to surround herself with -- cashmere throws, velour lounging sets, soft leather boots, bone china, etc. - and it was a huge success. Riley also owns and runs Southern Hill -- the largest farm in the area. The one thing missing in Riley's life is a family -- a husband and children.

Jackson Sinclair is the quintessential good ole boy, the life of the party. Everybody loves Jackson and they always expect him to have a ready laugh and smile. Five years ago, when his marriage with Riley broke up, Jackson left town and never looked back. He's been traveling around the world on his yacht, working as a hunting guide, just drifting through life. Now he's come home and he's ready to reclaim his old life.

Riley and Jackson have so much unfinished business left between them, but Riley is not sure she can trust him, or herself, enough to let him back into her life. Especially since she has used their frozen embryos and is now pregnant through IVF. When Jackson finds out Riley got pregnant with their baby without him, he is more determined than ever to find a way back into her life and pick up the pieces where they left off.

THE LIFE OF RILEY is a fun, romantic story about love and redemption. Ms. Worth has created a wonderfully flawed leading man with Jackson Sinclair -- he's strong, rugged, and capable; yet has serious emotional baggage he needs to work through before he is ready to be the husband and father that Riley needs. There were times I got very frustrated with Riley Sinclair, but then I remembered she was pregnant and probably a bit of a hormonal mess and her actions made much more sense. All in all, I thought THE LIFE OF RILEY was a very sweet, romantic book.
