Series:
Westmoreland Legacy (Book 6)
Two can play the game of seduction.
But after one night together, the rules are about to
change…
Westmoreland family friend Jaxon Ravnell is in Wyoming
for one reason only: to consummate his fiery attraction to Nadia Novak. But
unbeknownst to him, Nadia has her own plan for seduction. Giving in to their
mutual desire is a win-win…
Nadia accepts that love isn't part of their connection,
and after one night, she knows it's time to move on. But for Jaxon, their
pleasure-filled night together changed everything. Now he's playing by his
rules…and he's ready to wager his future, though not his heart, on the woman
he's made up his mind to marry. Only one thing stands in his way: Nadia.
Fun book. Jaxon, a recently discovered cousin to Bart
Outlaw, saw Nadia at a Westmoreland wedding and was immediately taken with her.
At a Westmoreland men's poker game several months later, he announced his
intention to marry her - even though they've never had one date. I loved the reactions to his announcement -
mostly warnings that Nadia will not be an easy conquest.
Nadia has noticed Jaxon, but she's been burned by
overconfident men before and has no intention of going through that again. When
Jaxon appears in her hometown, ostensibly to purchase land to expand his
business, she is wary of spending time with him. When he declares his love for
her and his intention to marry her, Nadia is furious. She sends him off after
chewing him out about his declaration when he doesn't know her.
Jaxon is not easily discouraged, and after promising to
dial back his declaration, he decides to use other methods to get close to her.
I enjoyed his end run, especially his commitment to supporting her acting
school. There is a great scene where he shuts down a TV interviewer who tries
to ignore Nadia while focusing on him.
The more time they spend together, the more their
attraction grows. When Nadia decides to indulge in one steamy night (her reason
is unusual for a woman her age), she doesn't expect the depth of their
connection. She's determined to move on, but their night together reinforces
Jaxon's desire to permanently have her in his life. When he again declares his
feelings for her, Nadia reacts angrily and pushes him away. He confronts her
about her refusal to believe his feelings and tells her to find him when she's
ready to admit her feelings.
It takes a long conversation with her best friend and
time away from Jaxon for Nadia to finally accept her feelings for him. I loved
seeing her gather her courage and go to him. I loved the ending and seeing her
open up completely to him and admit her love. The epilogue was terrific, and I
loved the surprise Jaxon had for her.
I also loved catching up with so many of the Westmoreland
couples. It is also exciting to see that more Westmoreland relatives have been
found. I look forward to reading their stories.
