Jordan
“Jorie” Morrison loves working with underprivileged children, loves music and
her cousin Lily. When Jorie’s cousin
returns from Europe with wealthy fiancée, James, Jorie thinks they are too young to get
married. But Lily is ecstatically happy so she doesn’t oppose their engagement.
What
Jorie does oppose to is Simon Grant, James’ guardian.
Simon has made it obvious that he doesn’t agree with the engagement and
even goes as far as to ask for a prenuptial agreement before marriage to protect James
inheritance.
When
Simon blackmails Jorie into helping him make the young couple see reason, Jorie
reluctantly agrees for the fact that the money Simon gives her will benefit the
disadvantaged children.
Jorie
and Simon are like oil and water, fire and ice, allies....and lovers?
Delighting
characters and a enchanting love story make this a hit for MacKenzie Taylor!
Jorie
and Simon are a wonderful couple that make readers smile and sigh. Jorie is a lady with a love of life, she’s
down-to-earth and very passionate. She is
surprised (as readers will be) when she feels an instant attraction to the sensible,
stuffy and subdued Simon Grant.
I
loved this tale for the fact that it is a complete love story that focuses on Jorie and
Simon’s feelings for one another, discovering each other through communicating and
just spending time together. Yes there is a
mystery involved as well, someone is framing Lily’s father, that takes a backburner to the romance of the story, but
readers won’t mind! This tale also has
one of the sweetest and most touching endings I have read in a long time.
This
whole story worked for me. MacKenzie Taylor
writes a hit with THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT!
