Pine Grove Novel Book 3
Get rid of the house and sell the land. Bulldozing the broken-down mansion billionaire Stryker Alexander West inherited solves an annoying problem. Busy launching a new venture, he doesn’t have time to waste on sentiment. Taking down the historic building should be a slam-dunk. But Stryker comes up against a stone wall in the form of Landmark chair, Jess Lennox.
Supporting her brother and juggling a hard life, Jess refuses to approve a permit to demolish the old house. No way will she let arrogant, wealthy Mr. West destroy her dream. Unwilling to accept defeat, Stryker’s confident he can prevail. He insists staying in town is about winning and has nothing to do with heat from a determined blonde.
Too stubborn to budge, Jess holds fast, struggling against her attraction to her worst enemy. Will the winner of the battle lose at love?
My Review:
I was sucked into this book nearly from the beginning. Once I got started reading, I couldn’t put it down. On the surface, Stryker and Jess appear to polar opposites. But once we started to see beneath the surface, they had more in common than either one expected. These two strike sparks off each other with every encounter, and their snarky banter had me holding my breath to see what would come next. The story also has some deep emotional riptide. It pulled me under and spat me back out after beating me around for a while. As an FYI, keep the tissues handy. There’s a good chance you’ll need them before you reach the end. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
