Book four is finally here!, 25 Mar 2004
Cassandra Ward was the type of woman that most men could only fantasize about. H-O-T! But she was also smart! She and her father, Jozef, owned a high class jewelry store. Cassandra enjoyed cutting gems for jewelry making and steamy nights. However, she considered men to be like tissue, soft and disposable. Cassandra had rules, such as no strings, do not expect her to be a "one man only" kind of lady, do not expect to stay over night, and do not even try for her heart. She wanted men to treat her to a lovely, and expensive, night out and then some quick time in bed. Benedict O'Malley had been Cassandra's first love. He had decided that he wanted Cassandra for his wife and pursued her relentlessly. But Benedict had hurt Cassandra badly when they were young and Benedict still did not trust her. Then there was Noah Barclay. Noah's family was well known in many circles. Noah was determined to use none of his family connections to help his bridge construction business succeed. He was independent and wanted to stay that way. Cassandra was his weakness though. No matter how he pretended otherwise, the lady could make him burn with need by only smiling. Of course, she made every man feel that way. Yet Noah wanted more than any other man before him. He wanted Cassandra heart and soul. He was determined to make the lovely goddess break her own rules. ***** Author Kathleen O'Reilly saved the best for last. When you are as gorgeous as Cassandra seems to be, often people look no deeper than your outside appearance. Society believes that if you are beautiful (or handsome) then you are incredibly stupid too. I am happy to find a heroine who is beautiful AND smart! (Marty in book two was also, but not THIS incredibly lovely.) I enjoyed every minute of this romance! Recommended reading! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
