Series:
Kingsland Ranch (Book 3)
His search leads him to the one woman he must resist at
all costs -- until one storm-tossed night…
When Quinton Kingsley arrives in Alaska's rugged Aleutian
Islands in search of his missing half-brother, he finds a brash, red-haired
beauty instead. McKenna O'Brien maintains his brother's bar while he's
off-grid. She has her reasons for keeping the truth from the wealthy cowboy
CEO. Too many men have taken advantage of McKenna's trust.
Though McKenna's off-limits, Quint can't ignore their
sizzling attraction. Giving into temptation the night a storm strands them
together only makes Quint desire McKenna more. With the stakes high and a
precious new complication, has Quint finally found the woman of his dreams? Or
will he risk losing her forever?
Good book. Quinton is in Alaska to find his estranged
half-brother but finds Clay's gorgeous red-haired stepsister instead. McKenna
runs Clay's bar when he is away. She is very protective of him and refuses to
tell Quint where he is. Quint and McKenna butt heads over their conflicting missions.
Neither expected the intense attraction they felt for each other.
I liked Quint and McKenna. Quint is a good man who wants
to ensure that Clay gets what he deserves from their father's estate. Though he
grew up on the ranch, he left it behind as soon as he could, driven away by his
tough, unyielding father and the memories of his mother's death. McKenna's
childhood was tough until her father married Clay's mother, giving McKenna the
stability she craved. Clay was there for her when her life fell apart, giving
her a safe place to start over.
I enjoyed watching the relationship develop between Quint
and McKenna. Neither is happy about the intense attraction they feel for each
other. Due to her previous relationship, McKenna has deep trust issues, and
Quint feels guilty about desiring his brother's stepsister. While McKenna holds
tight to her knowledge of Clay's whereabouts, she and Quint get to know each
other. Quint is different than she expected, and he earns some of her trust
when he offers to help her with the issue that brought her to Alaska.
Quint and McKenna can no longer resist the sparks when a
storm strands them together. But guilt and insecurities pull them apart even
when neither can forget the connection they felt. Time apart gives them
perspective about their feelings, but there is still the issue of finding Clay
to get past. There is some drama there, but I loved the ending and seeing how
they resolved their conflict.
