The Kendricks of Camelot

by Christine Flynn

Mills & Boon Blush series brings you moving, true-to-life romancesTHEY SAID HE NEEDED A WIFE .

A wife of breeding and class. But Gabe Kendrick, the first son of the revered Kendricks of Camelot, Virginia, wanted none of that. His ambitions and sense of duty had led him to follow his father's footsteps into politics. But his heart guided him to the one woman he could never have.

The daughter of Kendrick estate staff members, Addie Lowe had grown up loving Gabe from afar. Social boundaries hadn't kept them from becoming friends. But now, the press threatened to turn their friendship into something tawdry a scandalous affair between employer and employee.

Gabe urged Addie to ignore the tabloids. But how long could they ignore their awakening passion for each other?

About the author

Award-winning author Christine Flynn was once told by a creative writing professor that she would save herself a lot of grief if she would limit her love of books to reading rather than attempting to write. Taking his words to heart, she dropped his class and wrote very little until fifteen years later when her husband gave her a Silhouette Romance which he'd received free with the gift-wrap of her mother's day present. She doesn't remember what he bought her (neither does her husband), but she remembers the book. As a person who had always found relationships fascinating, especially the often-complicated relationships between men and women, the writing she had always wanted to do had finally found its focus. Now considered "one of the genre's master storytellers" by Romantic Times Magazine, her work regularly appears on national best-seller lists, including USA Today and Waldenbooks.

Refreshing

I loved this story. A little politics, a little limelight and a lot Cinderella girl. Brought out my inner princess.

The South African apartheid historical background made this a good read.

The plot is good but writing/characters/story is bland and boring. Took forever to get through this tiny book. Very forgettable. Skip.

The beginning of this book really annoyed me. The stereotypes were so over the top and I just didn't connect with the characters at all. About halfway through I started liking the book though and it didn't seem quite as bad.
