Excellent read
Excellent read, I enjoyed the characters and storyline. Marcus and Deidra had an instant chemistry. Love at first sight. The problem is Marcus had a live in girlfriend Tiffany, and Deidra was once obsessed with his brother Micah. This story is well written. This book was full on dramatic action with many plots and twists. The author manages to add layers to the personalities of each Bancroft family member in every book.

Marcus is the athlete of the Bancroft family, who uses his love of the track to avoid returning to Mount Faith…until he meets Deirdra, the young lady who tried to frame his brother for rape. The electricity was immediate and they are becoming fast friends, much to the dismay of his live-in fiancé. A sudden hit and run results in Marcus losing his memory, but there's something about the young lady who visits him in the hospital.
So far, this is my favorite book in the Bancroft series. There's just something about Marcus and his sex appeal. I also love how the family is totally on board with his budding relationship. I'm so glad that trifling Tiffany got hers in the end.

Marcus Bancroft
...had me wishing I were Deidre. I think this was the best of the books I have read so far. When you marry, make sure you marry the person and not the circumstance. Rules to live by. Indeed. Good read!

Another stellar story from Brenda Barrett regarding another of the Bancroff children Marcus, the track star and the spoiled rich girl, Diedra. Again this story does not dissapoint.
