Bond Vengeance

Tarrent yes it is close to Tryant, close and to good to be true.Keely is a loving daughter, and she will take on anyone for her mother, Catherine. Catherine has been asked to marry her boss Lucas Varley Tarrent's father.Tarrent decided to stop the wedding, by paying off Catherine.Now he has to face Keely, the strong language he uses is offenseive, and he means to be.Tarrent finds Keely isn't a push over and neither is her mom.Although we see why Tarrent wants to stop the wedding, his father asks each and every housekeeper to marry him. So when the real thing comes along, Tarrent thinks it's just another goldigger after his father's money. What is never clear is why he didn't try to reason with his father instead of insulting Catherine, and Keely.Keely like all of Ms. Steele her female character is not a lip biting hold back the angry retorte type. And I love it.Because of this, Ms Steele is one of my favorite writers.Susan Fox, Helen Brooks, Rebecca Winters are way up there with the late great Betty Neels.

This was the first novel by Steele that I read, and after that I have been reading each of her novels. The heroine is a lovable daughter, who is not too obnoxious but has a mind of her own. Her widowed mother marries a rich widower whose son has some reservations about the marriage. This causes some skirmish between the heroine and the son. How this bond of vengeance turns into love is extremelly interesting and touching. A must-keep book and a wonderful romance.
