Keely McKay wants to open her own physical therapy rehabilitation clinic in town and she wants to get started without any help or interference from her large, overbearing family. That mean keeping a secret and while difficult, it’s not impossible. The problem staring her in the face is one she didn’t anticipate. She needs a certified historical restoration expert to oversee the project and the only person available turns out to be Jack, her brother’s friend but her worst nightmare.
Jack loves restoring great old buildings…saving architectural gems from the wrecking ball. He’s striving to rebuild his business after a nasty partnership break-up and he believes a certain potential project is just what he needs to get back on top. When he realizes his single status is causing him problems with the selection committee, he comes up with the scheme of a fake engagement. The deal is that if Keely with pose as his fiancé, he’ll manage her restoration. It seems like a win-win plan for them both; a few weeks of pretending and then its back to their old lives apart. These two might be advisories most of the time, but in the bedroom they’re hot. If they’re not careful, by the end of their charade instead of being happy together, they might wind up miserable apart.
All Jacked Up is the eighth release in Lorelei James’ Rough Rider Western romance series. It’s not imperative that the books be read in order, but it would give the reader a greater understanding of the complexity and depth of the relationships of the various characters, both old and new.
Ms. James has once again given her readers a story of family, love, commitment and dedication but this time our heroine is the lone McKay female, wild child Keely, and I couldn’t be happier. In fact, I’m thrilled, since I’ve been hoping for a book revolving around this spunky young woman for some time. Take it from me, the wait was worth it.
Keely has changed and matured a great deal since her introduction in the series and seeing her plan and execute the future she’d worked hard for is a pleasure. She’s finally grown into a woman striving to find her place in a family filled with overbearing Alpha males, and it isn’t easy, but she managed through grit and determination. It isn’t any easier trying to have a personal life and when she gets involved with Jack, her brothers are none too happy. The premise of a fake engagement might not be a new concept, but Ms. James handled it with skill and flair. The characters of Keely and Jack are rich and nicely developed, the plot fast moving, the sex blistering hot and the situations well thought out and realistic. And the dialogue is great…and so funny it had me laughing out loud.
I can safely say that All Jacked Up is now my new favorite in a series filled with keeper books. Read and enjoy…again and again. I will.
