This review was completed for Two Lips Reviews at twolipsreviews.comWhen Heather Stallbridge goes missing, Jack knows that he is the one that must find her. He finds himself strangely entranced by her from the moment he sees her picture. But when her trail leads him to a town that doesn't appear to exist, he knows that something more is going on.Heather is determined to do her part for the Stallbridge family. She will prove that she can offer more than a pretty face to the family line. But when she finds herself unable to leave a small picturesque town in Germany, she comes to understand that she might just need some help. Will she come to the realization too late? Can Jack protect Heather while allowing her to complete her task?Entranced by Marie Harte is seventh in the Power Up! series. While it can be read as a stand alone, you will better understand Jack's pain after having read Julian's Jeopardy in the Dawn Endeavor series.Heather has the nature of a healer but she is determined to show her brother that she can be more than a vagabond. She knows that only she can right a wrong and protect her family. Heather finds strength of character that she is determined to give free reign. She knows that her brother loves and accepts her but she feels a need to prove herself worthy.Jack understands Heather's need and while he doesn't agree with her assessment, he is willing to give her the time she needs to complete her self-imposed task. You notice that I used the term "allow." Jack is a bossy and surly man but at his core is a kind soul. He protects himself from a repeat of betrayal but at a cost to his psyche. Jack is also a bit dominant and Heather fires up all his dominant tendencies. Surprising to both him and to Heather, the duo find themselves synching effortlessly.Ms. Harte penned a tale that fit seamlessly within this series. Seeing Jack loosen up for the right woman was wonderful given his past. Ms. Harte gave Jack a woman who was worthy of him. While their connection was quick, it felt right. I thought this was a wonderful addition to the series and am eagerly waiting to see what happens next.
