terrific romantic suspense

Still in shock though several weeks have passed since her fiancé Marvin Carter vanished taking money with him, Sonya Patterson continues to prepare as if her wedding was to occur. Sonya wants to delay telling her ailing mom Muffy the truth for fear that would trigger a deadly final heart attack as her beloved mom has not recovered from a recent one. Sheriff's' Deputy John-Michael McPhee assumes that Sonya, whom he has known since childhood as the son of a gardener and later her bodyguard for a decade, is a spoiled brat. However, he looks into the case of her missing boyfriend though he wants nothing to do with Sonya, who he assumes continues her nuptial preparations to avoid the embarrassment of being jilted. However, as he gets to know her like he never did when he was a child or employed by her family, John-Michael sees a kind hearted woman worried only about her mother. As he falls in love, he wonders if his beloved can see him as her soulmate rather than her former employee. The final Blond Justice trilogy is a terrific romantic suspense starring two likable obstinate individuals who readers will root for them coming together as much as seeing Marvin the con finally caught. The cameo return of the heroines from the previous books (see HOMETOWN HONEY and DOWNTOWN DEBUTANTE) showcases how clever Marvin is and the difficulty of catching him. Fans will enjoy this fine investigative romance as the lead couple fall in love and close in on Marvin, but will they succeed whereas the previous two paring found love but not the con artist.

Fun and wild conclusion to 'Blond Justice' series

Marvin (the ratfink) Carter had a thing for blondes. He chased them, wooed them, got engaged to them, then took them for everything they were worth. But three blondes decided to fight back. Socialite Sonya Patterson was the first of Marvin's conquests, and she's determined to be the one to bring him to justice. But her mother's sudden illness puts her revenge plans on temporary hold. Warned by the doctor that anything that upsets her mother could be dangerous, and that her upcoming wedding is the one thing that seems to keep her mother connected, Sonya goes through the motions of planning a wedding--to a man she knows is a heel. The man who isn't a heel, sexy bodyguard John-Michael McPhee. Sonya had a crush on her bodyguard since she was young (her father's death at the hands of kidnappers made her mother extremely protective), but John-Michael rejected her the time she threw herself at him. She intends to be over the crush, but having John-Michael tag along while she plans a wedding that would be a nightmare makes her dream of a wedding that would be a dream. When Marvin hears of the wedding plans, and tries to come back onto the scene, apparently believing that Sonya didn't catch on to his embezzlement, Sonya changes her plan--she'll go forward with the wedding and trap Marvin once and for all. Author Kara Lennox concludes her fun 'Blond Justice' series with OUT OF TOWN BRIDE. The sexual tension between Sonya and John-Michael sizzles, and Lennox continues the strong relationship between the three blond women--first victims, but now stronger and united through their shared struggles. The entire series is a wonderful blend of laughter, adventure, and sensuality. If you haven't discovered the Blond Justice series yet, you're in for a treat. OUT OF TOWN BRIDE is a winner.
