The Westmorelands

review 1: Derringer Westmoreland is handsome, seductive and a ladies man. He's not ready for a committed relationship and makes no bones about it. Lucia Conyers has secretly been in love with Derringer since she was eighteen but he hardly knows she exists.When Derringer suffers a horseback riding accident, Lucia rushes to his home to see for herself that he's not seriously injured and to offer her help. When she arrives, she finds him over medicated and over stimulated. What happens next is out of the ordinary for them both.This next installment of the Denver Westmorelands lives up to the previous stories. The relationship between Lucia and Derringer sizzles at times and also offers a lovely romance. Their first encounter was steamy and then they stepped back to let the relatio... morenship catch up. Think of a romance in reverse and you have a good idea of their story.Both characters are very likeable and Lucia, following her first rash moment with Derringer, is a practical, attractive woman of substance. You will find yourself rooting for both of them and will get caught up in their idea of romance.(I received an ARC copy for review from NetGalley.)
review 2: 4.25 out of 5. Another really wonderful story from Brenda Jackson involving the Westmorelands, branches of which family have populated a number of her recent novels. As a part of the "Denver" Westmorelands, Derringer has long enjoyed the single life and is, like his brothers, known as a "ladies man." He raises horses and likes to think there isn't much that he can't do. But he runs amok when a high-spirited horse tosses him high and wide, and in the midst of his painful recovery, delirious after having taken one too many pain pills, he has a night of sizzling sex with a long-time family friend--a woman who has been in love with him quietly and privately for years--and who has come simply to make sure he is OK. Because of his drug-induced stupor, Lucia tries to get him off the floor where he has fallen back on to his bed where he "pins" her and has his way with her--she cooperates, believing this will probably be the only time she will even have with him. Derringer only becomes aware of what happened when he finds an errant piece of Lucia's undies in his bed, and he goes on the hunt for this nameless, faceless woman he vaguely remembers being in his bed. When he finds her he plans to "make her pay" for what he believed was an unworthy attempt to seduce him. What ultimately happens between these two is the stuff of very good romance fiction and another evidence that Brenda Jackson knows how to write one darn good story. less
