What did he do that she couldn’t forgive?
And how can he lure her back?
Rancher Levi Kingsley urgently needs Kendra Davies’s help. His family’s business is threatened by his father’s scandals, and Kendra is the best PR-crisis manager around. But Kendra has avoided him since their unforgettable night years ago. Now he’s forced to swallow his pride and hire her.
Kendra believes Levi guilty of an unforgivable betrayal. But she can’t say no to this job. She also can’t ignore their chemistry or the quickly mounting proof that Levi may be a good man after all…
With the second dip into her new Kingsland Ranch series Joanne Rock delivers delectable drama and family angst galore! Levi is the second sibling’s story following an unfair division of his father’s estate after his unexpected death and he reunites with Kendra just as the family needs her PR expertise. As sparks fly, tension builds and this reconnection might be just what they both needed in their life. I’m looking forward to more to come in the series.
Levi is sincere and down-to-earth and while I would have liked to have seen more brotherly interaction overall, the backdrop of the story was attention grabbing and satisfying.
Kendra has things a bit skewed in what she believes Levi’s faults are, but she can’t resist hearing him out when he wants to clear the air in the middle of a campaign.
I recommend this book as well as the earlier one in the series to anyone that loves a bit of familial drama mixed up in your romance.
