LIKE A HURRICANE

Roxanne St. Claire

Silhouette Books

March 2004

ISBN #:  0-373-76572-X

Contemporary Romance

 

Quinn McGrath is not prepared for what he finds when he arrives at the dilapidated Mar Brisas Resort on beautiful St. Joseph’s Island, Florida.  He is there to work out a real estate deal with a man named Nick Whitaker, but “Nick” is not at all what he expected.  Quinn knows that when he meets “the one” there will be no doubt, but he never expected her to drop right into his arms.  Can he convince the falling angel that they have a future?

Nicole Whitaker is trying to save her families Mar Brisas Resort after Hurricane Dante’s damage and lack of insurance money to make the repairs.  Mar Brisas is her link to the past and she will do anything to keep from losing it.  To avoid the buyout of her property Nicole is avoiding Quinn McGrath, the real estate mogul sent to buy it.  When she falls into “Mac’s” arms she feels things she has never felt before…desire, lust, and maybe love.  When she realizes her “Mac” and Quinn McGrath are the same, she feels very different things…anger, betrayal and hatred.   Can she ever trust Mac again, especially with her heart?

Like A Hurricane is a delightful, feel good book about two people destined to be together but aren’t sure how to grasp that destiny.  Quinn and Nicole are two characters that have you rooting for them from the very first chapter.  Their love is instant and undeniable and their passion sizzles throughout the book.  These are definitely two characters worth reading about and I can’t discount the secondary characters; some of who I would like to show up in books of their own.

Roxanne St. Claire’s talent pours from the pages of her books and she is an up and coming talent to keep an eye on.  Like A Hurricane is the second Roxanne St. Clair book I have had the pleasure of reading.  The characters she writes are loveable and realistic.  Ms. St. Claire knows just how to give you an instant connection with her characters.   If you’re looking for a book that makes you laugh, smile and cheer, then this is the book for you.
