With The Boatbuilder's Bed Kris Pearson has delivered another interesting and entertaining romance.Cash strapped, Sohpie Calhoun needs a good commission to launch her design business what she doesn't need is sexy and demanding Rafe Severino trying to monopolise her time and attention.While she welcomes his business she's also wary. Whangied as a child because of his darker skin, Rafe firmly believes every child belongs with its parents...and while Sophie wants Rafe's business she shies away from personal involvement because she fears Rafe's reaction when he learns Sophie has a child who is being raised by her grandmother because Sophie couldn't cope. Add a vindicitve ex-wife to the mix and you have explosive tension.Kris's love of Wellington, New Zealand's capital city is obvious as it comes alive in the vivid word picture she paints of its wild, scenic grandeur.This story is high emotion and explores a unique element of Maori culture...informal adoption.I would recommend it to anyone.
