I loved this book. It’s sweet and easy and enjoyable. The perfect read to laze around in this HOT California weather. A combination of mystery, suspense and a bit of romance.
Amidst the world of art, old antiquities and the beautiful setting of San Francisco exists a lovely adventure and a sexy man.
Mack Easton is an older man, refined, cultured and has the sexiest voice a woman has ever heard. He’s a widower with a daughter in college and ready to meet the right woman. Of course, I liked him. Maybe enough to put him on my top six. He was kinda irresistible. He is definitely “Fantasy Man”.
Cady Briggs is an expert in the art world and her expertise brings her into the world of the mysterious Mr. Easton, whom she’s only had telephone conversations. However, when a family tragedy occurs Cady and Mack must meet to track down the missing masterpieces and possibly a killer.
It’s been awhile since I truly enjoyed the mystery and suspense of a romance novel. Although, I was sure of where the story was going, JAK did it in a page turner that kept me engrossed for the entire book. The romance was second fiddle to the plot in this case and that was OK with me. Mack and Cady brought enough heat and a little sweetness and formulaic romance for me to enjoy. They connected emotionally in a way that was endearing. I’ll say it again I really really liked this book.
The secondary characters were a treat to read about as well. Aunt Vesta, Gabriella and the computer whiz and a lot of fun to the story. JAK certainly can do quirky characters. If you find this book at a library, garage sale or thrift store don’t pass it up. It might just be what you’re looking for.
