years ago, Olivia Delgado was abandoned by the man she loveda man who had never existed, Billionaire adventurer Kieran Wolff had used an alias, made love to her, then disappeared, Now he's returned, insisting on not only meeting her daughterhis daughterbut on seducing Olivia back into his bed! Passion still simmers between them, threatening her good sense.
Can he be trusted this time, or is Kieran still a Wolff in sheep's clothing This one was better than the first one.
Kieran was not as Alpha male as his brother, but there were a few instances that raised my hackles, I could see her point of keeping their child to herself, and I could see his point of keeping his identity private, I just wished that when they explained it to each other, that they would understand the other person's side of things.
You also get a bit of Hollywood, as Olivia's parents are famous actors and a bit of stalking, Good story, even with the last paragraph being a bit icky and cringeworthy, Miniseries: The Men of Wolff Mountain
Category: Passion
Overall, I liked this story, But I did have issues with the H wanting revenge against the h because she didn't tell him she'd had his child.
HE was the one who had been using a false name when they were together and left her with no way to contact him.
Thank goodness he became more likeable during the story, . . though he still was too bossy, Must read. Love the story. more review later. The hero Kieran turns up on the heroine Olivia's doorstep after discovering, quite by accident, that he has a daughter.
He is furious with Olivia for keeping this from him, but Olivia refuses to back down to his anger and demands.
Olivia had been devastated when Kieran had up and disappeared on her six years ago, and her later discovery that he had given her a false name and not told the truth about himself made her decide to go it alone with her pregnancy.
Kieran wants to get to know his daughter, as well as the chance to have Olivia the woman he has never forgotten back in his arms again.
Olivia reluctantly agrees to a weekend with Kieran and his family, but knows that Kieran's wanderlust lifestyle will only end up hurting her daughter.
She also knows that however much desire there still is between them, she can't let Kieran in her heart again.
I quite enjoyed this book, there is a nice casual flow to the writing and the story itself is interesting.
But, boy, did the hero get on my nerves, . . he was the one in the wrong, He gave a false name then skedaddled, the heroine had every right not to tell him, in my opinion, His constant demands for visitation/custody but also unwillingness to change his lifestyle are incredibly frustrating these are huge plot holes and very easily avoided, it was very frustrating to read this kind of thing, it let's down the rest of the story.
But, there is plenty of passion and tension, plus a believable lovestory, A good book.

As I mentioned in my review for sitelinkInto His Private Domain I enjoy reading Ms, Maynard's stories and though often times a particular scene or character stands out, her books are dependable if intermediate, I finished this book before bed last night and as I'm writing the review the next night I'm finding it hard to know what to say.
I don't remember much standing out this time,
Kieran Wolff is the baby bother, He's a wanderer and only comes back to the Blue Ridge mountains of Virgina a few days each year, On this visit home he happens to read in the newspaper about a birthday party thrown by Oscar winners Javier and Lolita Delgado for their granddaughter Cammie'sth birthday.
Javier and Lolita have one child, Olivia Delgado, the girl Keiran loved and leftyears ago, Convinced he is Cammie's father he shows up on her doorstep demanding answers, He threatens and bullies and convinces Olivia multiple times to do as he asks: stay with him at the Wolff mansion, come with him to NYC, leave Cammie with him for the summer, etc.
I didn't mind his bullying as it seemed to be the only real way to get Olivia to agree or listen.
Whether Olivia should have agreed or listened is another story, There are some bittersweet and plain old sweet moments in this book but again nothing is jumping out as needing to be reiterated.
I enjoyed reading it while it was happening but I'm not calling much from memory now that's it's done, It was a bit anticlimactic as there was no real conflict or villain perhaps that's the only reason nothing it standing out.
It was a steady read that offers a little more background on the Wolff kids' childhood and Gareth, Jacob and Keiran's father.
There was a fair bit of emotion and I recall being emotional invested while reading, Also Jacob, Gareth, Gracie and Annalise make an appearance,
Maybe I'm just having some brain fog today but that's really all I can add, I'm bemoaning the fact that my library doesn't have therd book available Juneand theth isn't out until Sept.
I would happily and eagerly keep reading but it doesn't seem likely,
A Lover's Touch by Brenda Jackson
This is my second short story read by Ms.
Jackson. The first was at the end of sitelinkTempted by Her Innocent Kiss, Atpages and with a bit too much protesting this story didn't win me over, Slate Landis has returned to Fernandina Beach Florida after abruptly leaving seven years ago, He has returned for one reason: Kendra Redding, Teenaged Kendra loved Slate but after tragedy struck he ran and never looked back, She's a women now, following in her father's footsteps as an optometrist and has moved on even though she hasn't been with anyone since Slate.
So Slate is back after years of therapy and counseling to deal with the tragedy and he's hoping Kendra will give him another chance.
Kendra physically reacts to Landis, a fact he's eager to exploit but she mentally and verbally protests being near him, yet agrees to a date almost instantly, then decides she'll simply have an affair with him while he's in town for one week, then be done.
It happens pretty suddenly and before you know it they are on a date, then in bed on the beach actually and professing their love.
pages doesn't offer a lot of room for depth, I'm still hoping to find Jackson's sitelinkSteele Series books and read until my little heart is content,
Better than the first, but introduced a bit of the paranormal while not being against it, was still unexpected.
loved the book A Touch Of Persuasion:
In this novel we continue with the "Wolff" series,
Olivia when she was in college had a "fling" with a boy by the name of Kevin Wade.
Shortly after their six weeks together Kevin left her, with a note saying he was leaving, Leaving her alone, leaving her shattered and leaving her pregnant, Soon after Olivia gave birth to her daughter, she had Kevin Wade investigated and found out he did not exist at all.
Instead Kevin Wade was actually "Kieran Wolff", so she decided not to contact him and gave birth to her daughter Cammie, all alone!
Kieran has just found out that Olivia has a daughter, he believes she is his daughter.
So Kieran does the only thing imaginable
and confronts Olivia, At first Olivia denies that Kieran has fathered her daughter, Cammie but then the truth comes out and Kieran whisks her away to Wolff Mountain.
Can they forgive the past and find love in each others arms again Well I guess you'll have to read it because I DEFINITELY enjoyed it.
The Wolff men are full of delicious surprises, Yummy!
A Lover's Touch:
In this novel Kendra meets her old lover Slate when he returns to town after many years of being away.
Kendra is shocked to see him and even more shocked when he plants a big wet kiss on her, After seven years Slate has finally returned to Kendra after blaming himself for a young girls drowning death, even though he wasn't in the least at fault.
Slate and Kendra are still in love but Kendra feels that the past is over and done with, it's way past time for her to move on.
Whereas Slate is still in love with Kendra and he came all the way from New York to get her back.
Can he persuade her to come back to him and give him another try I find that although this book was relatively short, it was a great read.
I think it was a bit lacking in the emotional/character relation department but the book is so short we barely have time to establish anything but the bare minimal fact.
Still a generous read though! DMarMen of Wolf MtKieran Wolf disappeared form Olivia Delgado's life just after she found out she was pregnant.
She tried to find "Kevin Wade"years ago, that's who he said he was, with no success, Kieran finds a picture in his father's office which makes him think he might have a child, He meets Olivia and wants her to admit her daughter is also his child, Olivia refuses him, Cammie doesn't need an occasional weekend dad, When Olivia's home is destroyed in an arson fire, Kieran is forced to face that he wants a wife and daughter in his home.
His wandering days are over, I like the Wolff series, Fear and traumatic experiences play havoc in one's life, Olivia should not have hid her pregnancy, .
