The Blackmailed Bride

Ms Brooks had me laughing, angry, crying, and laughing again. Carlton Reef wasn't a man to be trifled with, but when he tried to straighten out a problem with David White, he got Katie instead. Katie loved her Father David, but David seemed to love Katie's older sister Jennifer so much more. Because Jennifer and David were so alike they didn't really get on, but it appeared they respected each other, and the cut throat world of business they were both involved in. Where as Katie worked with special needs children and she loved it. The moment Katie confronted Carlton like a small angry kitten, Carlton was hooked. He had no choice but to find a way to get into her life, by hook or by crook. David has made a very bad business decision and Carlton is willing to rescue David only if Katie will marry him. Katie can't believe this millionaire is even slightly attracted to her, and her sister Jennifer agrees. In fact Jennifer tries to win Carlton away from Katie, and when that doesn't work, she tells half truths to Katie. Sweet, innocent Katie is genuinely unsure of Carlton's feelings, she thinks the worst. Only Carlton isn't so easily thrown off. And he sticks with young Katie, even helping David learn to show his daughter that he really does love her. From the back of the book: 'Blackmail bride! Carlton Reef wanted a bride-and Katie needed the money! His proposal was outrageous, but simple He would pay her family's debts if Katie would agree to become his wife... But what possible reason could this ruthless, sexy bachelor have for wanting sweet, gentle Katie? She didn't trust him-yet she had no choice. Marriage was the only solution. But did Carlton intend to be a husband in name only, or did he expect Katie to honor their wedding bargain by sharing his bed?'

Love at First Sight

I have to hand it to Helen Brooks, she has created a story that is not only an attention getter but one that involves characters that the reader deeply cares about! Carlton's quick temper and Katie's naive but untrusting feelings add wonderfull spice to the story. Although this is one of many "Marry Me and All Your Problems are Solved" books, this one has a certain flair, that keeps one reading from begining to end with out so much as a bathroom break in between! It's easy to place yourself in either Carlton's or Katie's frame of mind, although it is down right frustrating how pig headed some can be when it comes to love. Best ending to a book Ive ever come across, leaves one feeling giddy and refreshed. A recommended read for all!!!
