If you have read any of the Destiny Bay books you have an idea of this story.  Kane is a member of the Hawaii branch.  He is a complex character.  I liked him as a hero.  He is a typical bad boy growing up but mostly it was all reputation and very little deed.  Once you get a name it seems you get blamed regardless whether you do the deed or not.  I had a brother like this, so I could identify with that.  After making his way in the world he goes home to help his high school crush.  The good girl that was out of his league.Annie is the one he wanted but had no chance with.  She was the good girl that was warned to stay away and she did.  She married the high school all star and I think she may have lived to regret it.  She has a son and the husband dies in a hunting accident.  She needs help on her ranch and gets the hero to help as a hired gun.  I think she may have watched too much TV.  But he wants to see if his crush is still the girl he remembers so he stays to help.Now, don't read any further if you don't want to just know my thoughts.  I do not like my hero to be made a fool of.  I don't like for him to not be the hero in every way.  The event that leaves him nude really made me mad.  I think everyone's worse nightmare is to be caught with no clothes and no way to cover up.  He is put in that position and she laughs and offers no help.  I don't like her now.  I quit reading.  Once my hero is put down and the heroine is the one that does it, you have lost me.  There is just no way this event was funny.  Most of the Carrington men carried their hero status all through the story.  I like that better.  This wasn't funny.
