The Playboy Meets His Match

This is another of the Texas Cattleman's Club series and is Jason's story. He is assigned to watch spitfire Meredith who goes full force after the Club's suspected villan. Fearing she will hurt their investigation, they try to keep her under house arrest only to find out she is not simpering miss and can't be kept down. I like Meredith because she is a real match for Jason. When the tables turn, and she is targeted for violence, Jason's Protective nature goes into overdrive. Good story.

The exclusive members of the Cattleman's Club in Royal, Texas suspect they have a rat name Dorian in their midst, one who they believe may have committed murder and framed his half brother for the crime. To complicate matters, the dirty, rotten, scoundrel, who they have let into their club, complains he is being harassed. Then the harasser, a petit bundle of femine fury, storms into the club in a very unlady like manner, full of invective.The members persuade Jason Windover, one of their own who has not recently falling victim to marriage, to keep this meddling woman out of their affairs. They figure he is the best among them for this task, because one, he is ex-CIA and more than competent and two, he has sworn that he'll never marry. He wants nothing more than a brief fling here and there.Then he catches beautiful Meredith Silver slashing Dorian's tires. Rather than arrest her and involve the club's business with scandal, he takes her home and finds out that she'd been harassing Dorian because he'd promised to marry her younger sister, then he broke her heart and fled town with her life's savings. This intrigues Jason even as he's intrigued with Meredith, however the killer isn't amused by their getting together and he blows up Jason's home, our hero and heroine barely escape with their lives.Now Jason is starting to get upset, he's starting to feel very protective of Meredith as well in this romance that is a sure fire bet to keep you burning the midnight oil. Five stars from me for this one.A Harlequin Dreamers Review by Vesta Irene
