This was a great book!!! The mix of passion and emotion in it was great. This is a must read.

The world stopped for Susan Blackstone when she saw the stranger, and then her heart stopped when she learned his name. He was Cord Blackstone, the family black sheep, and her own cousing by marriage. Cord had come back for only one reason: revenge. But he hadn't counted on Susan any more than she had counted on him. Love became the wild card in the battle for control of the family company, and it was too soon to know who had been dealt the winning hand.

Cord Blackstone has returned to his family home, ready to fight for his portion of the family business. Susan Blackstone is a widow who was married to Cord's cousin, Vance. She works closely with Vance's mother and brother. They certainly aren't happy that Cord has returned and know he is going to cause them nothing but trouble.

This is an older Linda Howard title (1985) that was reissued. The story is very dated. Susan is the typical doormat heroine who acts like she's in a trance every time Cord comes near her. Cord is an alpha jerk who can't be bothered to tell Susan what his plans are, then is upset when she keeps interfering. For some unknown reason she falls in love with him. I call it lust. We only get her point-of-view in this story, so we never know what Cord actually thinks of her until the end of the book. My rating: 2 Stars.

I love Linda but this is clearly one of her older ones. With all the super macho men and the moustaches. Still good tho - she's just great.

Great Linda Howard. She goes against her family for the one she loves.
