Back in the day, Jasmine Brown had wanted heartthrobDrake Whitcomb in the worst way. But to him she was hisbest friend's baby sister and off-limits.
Years later when Jasmine got the chance to work in Drake'sveterinarian practice halfway across the country, she jumpedon it. She'd finally have Drake's attention! She'd also have achance to meet the father she'd never known.
Hoping to help Jasmine heal the rift with her family, Drakewas stunned by the explosive desire he suddenly felt whenthey worked together. Even though she still had way toomuch attitude, he found himself irresistibly drawn to thesassy, sexy beauty….
Even as a child Candice Poarch was a dreamer and created scenes in her mind. She quickly fell in love with writing stories centered around families and romance. The quest for love is universal, she says. Being familiar with rural Virginia, she portrays a sense of community and mutual support in her novels, many of which are set in small-town America.
Candice grew up in Stony Creek, Virginia, south of Richmond, but now resides in northern Virginia. She has been married for thirty years and is the mother of three children. A former computer-systems manager, she has now made writing her full-time career.
This is the second novel in Mrs. Poarch's "Looking For My Father" series, and it wasn't nearly as good as the first novel 'His Tempest.' The attraction and romance between the Drake and Jasmine was very sensual and sweet. However, the storyline was too scattered and a little unrealistic. Jasmine and some of the secondary characters in this story had way too many issues that were left unresolved, so the ending sort of leaves you hangin'. I can only hope Mrs. Poarch plans to revisit some of these issues with the third novel in the series so we can have full closure in Jasmine and Drake's tale.
