Short description

Orphaned as a child, Jessi moves to her almost stepbrothers' ranch. She grows up a tomboy and is sent to finishing school. She returns a temptress for whom the eldest, Jake, feels a most unbrotherly passion. It disgusts the others who plot to break them up. Jake must decide whether he's the brother or the lover and protect Jessi from a maniac on a killing spree that centers around her.

Extended description

When the carriage pulled into the ranch yard, Jake Malone hadn’t seen Jessi, the orphan he and his brothers raised, since she was a tomboy they sent away to finishing school. The exquisite creature who stepped down from the carriage bore as little resemblance to that tomboy as a caterpillar does to a butterfly. Somehow, Jessi has grown into a temptress who inspires indecent and uncontrollable passion in the man who can’t seem to act like her big brother any longer.

The new feelings between the pair disgust the younger Malone brothers who plot to break them up. Jake must choose between his devotion to his family and his love for Jessi. He must also protect her from a maniac on a killing spree that centers around Jessi.

Review by: bashyj1 on March 29, 2011 :
A GREAT and AWESOME book. I like how the author conneted the two main characters early no around the bush. However it was heartrending how the two brothers treated Jake. I've told my friends about it. I would surely enjoy a sequel soon

I bought all of the books available from this author based on the excerpts available and I do not regret purchasing any of them. However, I would say that - of all of the ebooks - this is my least favourite. The plot was sturdy and promising, and for the most part the story was exactly what I had hoped. The main problem I had was with the way certain characters were portrayed - brothers surely wouldn't do that to brothers? - and also the way in which the same characters acted spoilt and couldn't make their minds' up. However, that was a problem I had with specific characters, and as they were not the main two characters, this wasn't such a big deal. There were, on the other hand, quite a few scenes in this book that I found disturbing - especially as part a romance story. These scenes involved both sexual and violent scenes, sometimes together, which were a little more graphic than I had expected. This did detract from my enjoyment of the story as a whole, but I did like most of the interaction between the two main characters and think that it was still mostly a great story.
