She thought Jake was a swaggering cowboy. He thought Shanda was a snooping iceberg.
Shanda St. James made documentary films in L.A. Usually her subjects were mere sparks for her creative imagination.
But a trip to Oklahoma's sprawling oil country revealed an intriguing--and personal--story.
Jake McCade, heir to the McCade oil fortune, knew his family secrets, and was determined to keep them in the family. But Shanda posed a threat to his-privacy, as she delved more and more into the past. Her curiosity brought out more than family history--it made him determined to make her McCade's woman!
3.25 stars My ratings in this book are for the heroine alone. She was an absolute fire-cracker, the hero not so much. He misjudged the heroine and her motives at every turn and even at the end and his chasing her in the end to apologise didn't convince me that he wouldn't do the same in the future. We should have seen these two together building the foundation of their test rather than instantly jumping to a married and happy epilogue.
