Cindy Gerard kicks off another Cattlemans Club series "The Secret Diary" with the very entertaining "Black-Tie Seduction." This book has some one-liners that made me laugh out loud. Ms. Gerard really developed her characters well. Cant wait to read the rest in this series; hope the other books have as much laughter, lovin, and mystery.
Several years ago when Texan Millionaire Jacob received lung injuries in an oil fire, his respiratory therapist was prim and proper Christine. Ever since then, he has teased her every chance he gets. She is so uptight he just cant help himself and it drives Christine insane because Jake doesnt take life seriously enough. When Christine realizes that some items at an auction belong to notorious outlaw Jessamine Golden she plans to bid on them and donate them to the museum she volunteers at. Jake outbids Christine just to aggravate her and taunts her that in order to get the items she will have to go on a date with him. Christine knows Jake is just toying with her. She knows he could never be interested in her but when her friend talks her into a makeover she cant deny the attraction she sees in Jakes eyes. Jake is blown away by Christine, he just wanted to tease her a little but when he sees her new look he cant help being tempted. Jake knows Christine is the forever kind of girl and he isnt that kind of guy, but when she approaches him to help her discover her inner bad girl he cant resist. lt;br /gt; lt;br /gt;I found this story sweet and amusing...Christine is fighting the stigma of an abusive childhood and Jake just doesnt believe the family life is for him but the two have chemistry that makes it inevitable that they will end up together.
