What can I say? I really like Linda Howard's stories. This is the final one in the Mackenzie family saga. I've read all of them several times in the past 20+ years. Love the family!

I like the idea of Chance. I kind of wish his story had been longer.

OK, the meet-cute is when he executes an incredibly elaborate scheme to lure her into a plane with him so he can crash it in the desert and seduce her into telling him about her evil terrorist ways. Except she doesn't have any -- far from colluding with her evil terrorist dad she's been on the run from him. Yet she doesn't hold any of that against him.

I might have bought that -- she's amazing enough to agree that extraordinary moves were necessary when dealing with her bad dad. But then he kidnaps her AGAIN at the end.

Really Chase, even a Mackenzie can go too far. But it was lots of fun to read in a boggled kind of way.

Grrr. I had such high hopes after reading the preceding story but I am not cool with the huge amount of lying that occurs in this book. Love built on deception doesn't work for me. This is a 2.5 and I only rounded up bc I liked the idea of the characters even if their story made me mad. I couldn't read all of this and had to skim quite a bit to get to the last chapters just to be done with this.

I wanted something relatively simple and uncomplicated to read on an airplane and, well, that's what I got, I guess. I'm not a huge fan of romance so I don't know if this level of cheese is par for the course, but I found it cringe-worthy.
