Legacy by Jayne Ann Krentz Honor Mayfield has been taken by Con Landry. He owns Legacy and he's about to run in a race. Granger is in trouble as he is with the loan sharks and other gamblers, Wated to read this story because it deals with the elite race horse circuit and I like horses but have never ridden one, just fascinated by their storylines. Her father, now dead had owned the sire of Legacy along with another. She was there to pay off a $5k debet her sister had accumulated with her last boyfriend. Being the designer she is, she did notice some things had moved a little in her apartment. someone had been there. Hot steamy sex scenes add to this tale. He meets Adeena, her sister when he spends the night over. They have more than a physical attraction. Ethan, one of Con's workers gives her a warning about Con and Legacy. He informs her of who Con really is and he wants revenge for what happened in the past. He's not to know that she knows... He had no idea how she had found out but he was going to tell her in time. She intends to use her father's bungalow at the beach to get away from her troubles, when she realizes the stalker is following her again. She is in love with Richard Stoner's son, her father's partner. And now the horse's stall had green apples that a female had brought in. So many mysteries and they all tie together. He follows her and they do discover things from the pictures that lead to more clues... Loved learning about the horse racing circuit and all the treasures along the way that were uncovered. I spent the entire book hoping the hero and heroine would break up. (Spoiler: no such luck.) Conn was controlling, had serious anger issues, was consistently disrespectful to almost everyone, and was pushy as hell. Not to mention how he threw a temper tantrum every time Honor said no to him. I could have dealt with that if he'd shown any believable emotional growth or maturity over the course of the book, but no. Honor... I liked her, but I couldn't understand why she stayed with this guy who scared her and made her feel helpless. The whole thing just made me sad. Add in a near-complete absence of humor to the mix and... I really didn't enjoy this one at all. When Constantine Landry saves Honor Mayfield from following a loan shark right into the hands of the police, she feels fortunate that he was there to keep her out of a troublesome situation. She is grateful enough to agree to see him again, but still wary of a man who seems just a little too smooth and who tells her next to nothing about himself. Conn had been watching Honor for the last few months, just waiting for a way to insinuate himself into her life. Her unfortunate association with the loan shark gave him the perfect opportunity to play hero. But as Conn got closer to Honor, he found himself getting more than he had bargained for, while finding out little about the matter which had brought him to California, a secret which tied their pasts together. With an engaging writing style that sets this author apart, the story is set against a backdrop of horse-racing, beach houses and California lifestyle. The hero’s inner-conflict with regard to the heroine keeps the reader engaged and leads to charged climax. This story is also available as a reprint, ISBN# 1551661489. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
