The Wolf and the Dove

Fortune's Children #5

by Linda Turner

Meet the Fortunes--a family whose legacy is greater than riches. Because where there's a will...there's a wedding!

THE ENCOUNTER
Dr. Lucas Greywolf had carved a life for himself in Wyoming, tending to the needs of his people -- until Rachel Fortune arrived. Her outsider's ways annoyed him. Her delectable body aroused him. And although Lucas sensed he should avoid this troublesome woman, a passion neither could deny drove them together, and soon he discovered that Rachel would bear his child. While Lucas knew he could force this willful woman to become his wife, he also realized she would never truly surrender herself to him, body and soul...

About the author

Born in San Antonio, Texas, Linda Turner and her identical twin sister, Brenda, were known throughout the neighborhood in which they grew up simply as "Twin."

No one except their parents and their older brother could tell them apart. They dressed alike, wore their hair alike, and even had the same glasses, so it wasn’t surprising that they were stared at everywhere they went.

Consequently, when Linda announced at the age of 25 that she was going to start writing romance novels, she wasn’t surprised when Brenda said, "I don’t care how famous your name gets, just make sure your face doesn’t become recognizable!"

Needless to say, Linda’s face isn’t known in every household in the U.S. — yet. Recently, she spent six weeks taking screenwriting classes at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, and she’s made no secret of the fact that she plans to write and — hopefully — sell a screenplay in the new millennium.

"The Wolf and the Dove" is the story of Rocky "Rachel" and Lucas.
When Kate "dies", Rocky recieves the Fortune airplanes from her grandmother's will, and decides to lease an airstrip from Dr Lucas in the small town of Wyoming.
While Lucas thinks of her as a spoiled brat, Rocky finds him pompous, rude and judgmental. But as sparks fly between the two, they end up needing each other's help in rescue missions- and when a night of passion leads to an unexpected consequence, can both of them overcome past insecurities and fall in love?
Good story with mild angst, funny banter and hot lovemaking. The characters were average, but I did like the pursuit the hero took one, just not the dramatic ending.
Overall an OK book which I enjoyed in parts.

Quinto volume da séria Família Fortune.

Rachel é insuportável, narcisista a enésima potência.

This one suffers from a lack of actual relationship development, but I really like them together, so.
