Every woman should have a hero like Luke in her life. Failing that, we can at least read his story and pretend, for a moment, that we're the love of his life, his 'final conquest', April Halstead. This is a great read, spiced with hot Southern nights and blended with mystery. April is a writer who uses words as her weapon, but Luke, knowing that mere words will not protect her, places himself in the role of knight, whether she wants him to or not. The resulting friction is steamy and satisfying, as are all novels from the 'Queen of Romantic Fiction', Jennifer Blake.
