I enjoy books that follow a family and let you get to know the characters better through multiple books, so this series is right up my alley. A Little Blackmail picks up with Matt Carrington (brother of Reid Carrington from Run Run Runaway). Matt is obviously hiding something, so Janet's unexpected arrival (behind the curtains of his second story bedroom!) definitely has the potential to complicate things. I was delighted by the "marriage" of convenience aspect—another favorite storyline of mine.Matt and Janet both seemed a little stiff at first, but once we began to see the heart behind the characters, I really began enjoying the story. The author did a great job of giving readers clues that there was more to the story, which kept my curios and anxious to see what I was missing!Again, there was a bit of "head hopping" throughout, but I was able to look past this and still enjoy the story. I will also say that while this is a "sweet" version of this book, there is still quite a lot of passion between the characters. Nothings happens, but it's clear the two are very attracted to each other.This was another fun read from Helen Conrad and would make a great read this summer while lounging by the pool! [3.5 stars](Note: Unlike many books that I review, this book is written for the general market, but it is overall a clean read.)
