I love a great romance, especially when the main characters are balanced - I'm not into damsels in distress, or women trying to save men from themselves. From the first page, it is impossible not to see Maggie Gray and Ty Vincent as likeable people, too likeable actually.It is their likeability that causes them problems. Maggie loves passionately, so when her father asks for her help, she gives all she has, literally. Ty Vincent, still deeply mourning the loss of his father, needs to prove himself to his grandfather, T. Loy Vincent. Loy Vincent is a bossy old buzzard, who runs a multi-million oil business, and wants his grandson to be tough enough to run the business, soon.The wheels are set in motion, causing Maggie and Ty to come together to make the two most important people in their lives happy. What I truly appreciate about this story by Jan Romes is that Maggie is strong and capable, and never seen as less. Ty, rumored playboy, is a smart and capable man, who knows that his name isn't enough to get him where he wants to be.There are laugh out loud passages, pages where the sexual tension is palpable, and tenderness that squeezes your heart. Surprise twists and turns leave our jaws dropping and rooting for everyone, even the evil paparazzi. A great read!
