Man of Fate (Arabesque)
Alers (Secret Agenda) kicks off the Best Men contemporary romance series with successful attorney Kyle Chatham, who gave up working at a Park Avenue law firm to start his own practice in Harlem. When social worker Ava Warrick accidentally rear-ends Kyle's treasured Jaguar, their lives undergo drastic changes. He visits her in the hospital, where she is being monitored for a mild concussion, and their instant attraction soon becomes too strong to ignore. Kyle and Ava have both had their share of dysfunctional romances in the past, but their wariness only delays the inevitable romance. Subplots add substance as the two work tirelessly to help the powerless and distraught. Engaging characters and even pacing make this a pleasing read with broad appeal.(June)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
