Timeless Tales review

By TT reviewer Amy L. Turpin [full review on our website]Allie Dickenson needs money. She has exhausted every means at her disposal and with her need becoming desperate, she turns to the only person she knows that might be able to help her: her boss, Lucas Taylor. What she doesn't know is that Lucas has his own problems.Lucas Taylor needs a child, an heir to his fortune. He also has a problem with love. Simply put, he does not believe himself capable of loving someone, and at forty years old, it doesn't look as if he is going to be able to produce his heir the old fashioned way. When he is approached by Allie, the beginnings of a plan form in his mind. No adoption agency will even consider his application because he is unwed, unable to provide a "stable environment" for a child, even though any child of his would want for nothing. His proposition is simple. . . he will give Allie her money; if she'll marry him.Totally dumbfounded, Allie can't believe what is happening to her! Not only does she find herself agreeing to the ludicrous scheme, but her traitorous body is thrilled by the notion. Although Lucas has decreed they should have a marriage of convenience only, in order to fulfil the mandates of Social Services, they must live together and the forced intimacy soon takes a toll on Allie's frazzled nerves.Unbeknownst to Allie, Lucas is having just as much of a problem as she is. He has been harboring fantasies about Allie for almost the entire tenure of her employment with him. He has every intention of keeping to himself. But with Allie right there in his home, waiting on him every night, it is getting harder and harder to resist his impulse to make theirs a true marriage and to let the children he wants be a product of that marriage. The problem is, Lucas knows Allie will want more than his company and his money if she is to remain his wife and give him the child he so desperately wants. She will want and need his love. And that is something he is unable to give.Finding herself in love with Lucas is more than she was prepared to handle, but Allie is nothing if not determined and she is determined to prove to Lucas that he loves her back. Now, if she can only convince him before the baby arrives . . .This is a heart-warming story and one I believe the reader will enjoy time and time again. It is always fun to watch macho men deal with the fact that a little woman has them wound around her finger. And when they finally realize how deeply in love with that woman they really are, the sparks always fly! This story just proves how fascinating that phenomenon always is!
