In a new spin off series of her Sullivan family- we meet Rafe, the Seattle cousin of the San Francisco Sullivans. Rafe is a private investigator who specializes in extra marital affairs. Being completely burned out, Mia, Rafe's realtor sister tells Rafe to take a vacation up to the lake they used to go to as kids. She also surprises him with the house that the family used to own on the lake is now for sale, and makes a bid on Rafe's behalf. He gets the house and takes an immediate vacation.Brooke grew up next door to the Sullivan family- visiting her grandparents every summer, and now that they are gone, she lives on the lake full time, making her mail order chocolate truffles in the quiet. Brooke also has had a mad crush on Rafe since she was six. Now that she's all grown up, and is seeing him for the first time in over ten years, her crush has transferred to full on lust.Rafe gets to the house and realizes that the previous owners have not taken care of the house at all, in fact, the house is trashed. When he runs into Brooke coming out of the lake from a swim in a barely there bikini- Rafe realizes he has always had feelings for the girl next door.Promising to keep away from Brooke in order that he doesn't sully her, since he is no longer the nice kid she remembers, Brooke challenges him, saying she wants to be wild with him.This being a romance novel, you can pretty much guess what happens here. Like the original Sullivan series, the men deny their feelings for the women in their lives until it hits them that they are indeed in love and then the happily ever after ensues.I really like Ms. Andre's writing, and I'm sure that this new series will prove to be completely enjoyable, just like the previous 8 Sullivan sibling series was!
