Miranda, aka Randi, Tyler is grieving the loss of her beloved stepmother. Adopted by Joan and her husband, Dennis, who also passed away, she is now living alone in the home they left to her. This incredible older couple adopted her from Foster Care when she was 14 years old and brought her from California to live with them in Maine. Living in the coastal town of Amesport, they were loving parents to Randi, who feels their loss completely.
She loves her teaching job and volunteers at the Center to tutor students who need extra or special care. Her best friend, Emily, is Director at the Center, is presently en route to meet Grady Sinclair, of the Billionaire Sinclair family who live on the Island. The Center needs funds for the needy children of Amesport for gifts and a big dinner at a Christmas party. While at the Center, Randi decides to try and help too. Randi sends an anonymous plea for help to the Sinclair Foundation she finds on-line. Randi signs the request "A Concerned Resident of Amesport."
Two months later Evan Sinclair, while scrolling through old emails, sees one with the message on the subject line: Help Save Our Town. When he sees the request is from an anonymous source, he becomes testy and writes back that it is presumptuous to think funds would ever be sent for such a ludicrous endeavor, and to a town that is not even on the map. He signs his message with a S and forgets about it. When Randi receives his response, she is livid and sends him a map with Amesport circled in red. So begins the interaction between Randi and Evan. He is S and she becomes M. They begin to correspond and become friends. Neither want to meet or know who the other is. Both enjoy their anonymous friendship.
Evan is the oldest Sinclair and has always protected his siblings. He is handsome but uptight, always in control, confident, arrogant and a suit. Never dressed without his shirt, tie, suit and handmade shoes, he does not know how to relax. Work is his whole world. He does not do relationships, only seeks women who desire a one night fling. That changes when he spends time during a blizzard with Randi. They sizzle and ultimately confide their darkest secrets to each other.
J.S. Scott tells a delicious story once again in The Sinclairs series. I enjoyed the characters, especially Evan, who touched my heart with his sweetness and thoughtfulness. The subject of Dyslexia is addressed and adds additional interest to this warm and moving romantic tale. The locale is filled with savvy characters who are funny especially Beatrice. She gives predictions along with an Apache tear stone, which forecasts romantic futures accurately as shown by Randi and Evan. Their relationship is filled with sexual tension, but they build a foundation slowly and surely toward becoming soul mates. I recommend THE BILLIONAIRE'S TOUCH to everyone who likes to sit back, lose themselves in a sweet love story, and dream. THE BILLIONAIRE'S TOUCH is a sure bet to do that and more. I love it, Ms. Scott.
