After the plot in
Lake Charles heats up with the mayhem, ambushes, and betrayals expected of a modern thriller, Brendan finds his attention to romance temporarily diverted by other things, you know, like staying alive and out of prison.
But as we all know, romance can blossom at the most unlikely times. During the third act, Brendan is surprised when the mushy feelings inside him start to churn again. A striking young lady has caught his eye, and despite all the strife raging around him, he’s learned these chances at tapping love don’t come up often. He’d better act on his feelings and find out if she's Miss Right before it’s too late.
Readers of
Lake Charles identify with that sentiment, too. They will come to like Brendan and root for his falling in love again.
