Ann Jacob's Heart of the West trilogy

Ellora's Cave

.

Back Cover:

The groom's revenge.  Cassandra was determined to impress Lang Dalton, her fiance's high-powered boss - and his glamorous party seemed the perfect opportunity.  Only it turned out to be a setup - Lang wanted Cassandra for himself.  Cassandra refused to let Lang hijack her wedding plans, but he had a seductive hold over her: he was gorgeous, sexy - and he was blackmailing her....  

My Review:

Liked the premise.  I always love a story of a determined alpha hero who is set on having the heroine as his.  Slightly disliked the fact that the reader got left outside of the bedroom for their first time together. 

Back Cover:

Duty demanded Max DeLuca take care of pretty and very pregnant Lilli McCall. She was carrying his late brother's baby, and every DeLuca instinct cried out for Max to protect her unborn child. But the cost of bringing Lilli under his roof was Max's carefully controlled emotions. Never had the billionaire experienced such searing passion and such a desire to cherish a woman.

Then Max detected a secret Lilli seemed determined to keep hidden. Would the truth bring him to his knees…or send him running for the door?

Favourite Scene: (he sounds like he's 12 saying "you think I'm hot" but the honesty is great)

He waved his hand. “We may as well get this on the table. I know you’re attracted to me,” he said without a millimeter of arrogance.
She opened her mouth to deny it, but her throat closed around the lie.
“I’m flattered that you think I’m hot,” he said. “But it’s probably a good idea that you also think I’m cold because, for some reason, I find you attractive.”
Lilli gaped at him, sure he was mocking her. “No.”
“Yes,” he said.
“But I’m pregnant,” she blurted out. “And not with your baby.”
 

4 ½ Stars! ~~~ This book definitely reaches from the author’s heart to the reader’s heart.
