Another delectable treat from accomplished and talented author Bella Andre with The Way You Look Tonight.Rafe Sullivan had lost his innocence. He'd lost faith in live, blinded and tarnished by the infidelity of his beautiful rich clients. He'd lost joy. He'd lost fun. He'd gained serious, intensity and cynicism as his friends, who shackled him.It seemed that the good girl next door, Brooke Jansen, had a well-hidden naughty streak, but also a innocent loveliness and light about her, that made resisting her, impossible. She was safe, wholesome, sweet.Whether it be their shared history, or just her sweet nature, she had a way of making what would ordinarily be complicated, easy. Could her gentle strength liberate him from his distrust?Despite his intelligent and intuitive investigative skills, he missed Brooke's honest cues.As a child, Brooke had looked at Rafe Sullivan and seen carefree and adventurous. As a woman, she saw that and more. She saw deep convictions, a deep love for his family, but sadly, a deep distrust of the possibility of fidelity, truth, love. She had thought that her joy and lust for life could help heal him. She knew, deep down though, that only he keep really heal himself. She also feared, deep down, that he was the only man that could irrevocably hurt her, just as she knew, there would never be another man she would love more either.When I first started Bella Andre's book, I was ready for a fairly predictable plot, but one that I also knew would be worded with her beautifully, talented prose and heated with her romantic sensual touches of sizzle. I was not disappointed. With a touch of tension, the book, told in third person, shifted minds throughout, giving the reader terrific insight into the characters' thoughts, and provided a deliciously light, sweet romance.I was so excited when I realized that Rafe had four siblings - more Sullivan stories!! Woo hoo! Subtle hints were provided as to future Sullivan delicious tales. Thank goodness for Andre's Epilogues! Sigh. As usual, I'll now await eagerly the next installment.If you're new to Bella Andre, why not start your journey with Chase Sullivan in The Look of Love.
