Starke-McGuire #4

by Lacey Dancer

RICH HAD DECIDED TO SWEAR OFF ROMANCE FOR GOOD... UNTIL CHRISTIANA
The minute Christiana Drake met the Luck twins, she was hooked. How could she resist a position caring for the mischievous duo who were about to drive their parents, Pippa and Josh, through the roof? The position would give her a chance to unwind with her secret passion -- soaring from the high dive.

Christiana was arching through the air in a perfect swan dive when Martin "Rich" Richland first spotted her. Her grace was magnificent, her figure a dream. With her ivory skin and dark, silky hair, she was every man's fantasy... every man except Rich. His string of unhappy relationships had convinced Rich to swear off romance for good. He'd decided that his energy would be better spent in his work as vice president of Luck Enterprises

But Pippa Luck couldn't resist another chance to play Cupid. Despite Christiana's fears and Rich's past, Pippa was determined to lead them down lover's lane. All they needed was a little bit of luck!

[Dawnine Clews · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's dated now, but of the Kismet published books, Lacey Dancer's stories were my favorite, and this was my favorite amongst them. I kept it - probably since high school (eons ago) and rediscovered it when cleaning out boxes at my house. Most books got donated - but this one brought back some fond memories and I kept it. That said, the story is quite dated and the attitudes in the story haven't all aged well. However, the strength, knowledge and self-possession of the female lead is what initially drew me in and still remains as a stand-out in the story. If you read it with its era in mind it is still a good story.
