I can relate to the charater Emily. She puts her life and wants on hold so she can provide for her sister going to school. Like her I would do anything and I mean anything for my famiy. Brad is like a typical man except for the fact that he is serious and percatious in life. She thinks of him as some kind of player and it doesn't help that she is attracted to him. And the fact that they are both stuck in a cabin far far away from civilization doesn't help. Only through this whole ordeal is Brad actually able to see what Emily is really all about. He actually is able to see her for her not for her being his secretay. And from there their attration for one another grows. This is a good read. I borrowed this book from a friend and I am so going to go and get myself this book.
terrific private investigative romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Wealthy Brad Vaughn informs his father, owner of Vaughn Associates, a Chicago based PI firm, that he did not impregnate Suzette Brouchard and rejects her efforts to blackmail him. Instead, he insists he will undergo DNA testing and accept the bad PR until he proves otherwise. Brad asks his secretary Emily Stanton if she will accompany him on a deed search in Thunder Canyon, Montana. She is hesitant believing he sired Suzette's child, but reluctantly agrees. In Montana, gold rush fever has led to no rooms available except a cabin loaned to him by his client Caleb Douglas; this forces Brad and Emily to share a small area. Caleb wants Brad to determine who owns the Queen of Hearts Gold Mine that he thought belonged to his family, but he could not find the deed. As he follows clues laid out in the nineteenth century, Brad and Emily begin to fall in love, but he distrusts females so cannot commit his heart to his beloved. CABIN FEVER is a terrific private investigative romance starring two likable fully developed protagonists who belong together. However the male obsessively distrusts females starting from when his dad caught his mom cheating while the woman feels it is better to avoid love than to be hurt. The deed inquiries are cleverly intertwined into the fine story line not just by the lead couple and their client, but also by interested eccentric locals and gold fevered tourists. A second investigation involving a missing child adds mystery elements to a fine contemporary as Karen Rose Smith raises the bar for other authors in the Montana Mavericks: Gold continuous series.
