3.00 stars. My first book of this author and I found the book to be an okay read. The opening scenes of the book revealed that the primary focus of the story would be to establish the differences between the brother's morality, integrity and disposition, Lance Carter is an irresponsible entitled womanizer, while Oliver Carter is dependable restrained and resourceful. The brother's moral compasses did not seem to be polarized by sibling rivalry, so I was not expecting a love triangle involving the brothers and the heroine, Grace Jordan. Although the act of impregnating Grace as described in the story is called a one night stand, it read like rape. To move the storyline to its ultimate conclusion, the author told readers that there was and immediate and mutual attraction between Oliver and Grace; to further move the plot and get Grace living in the Carter Estate where Grace's and Oliver's love is to bloom, the author diminished the story's heroine. Grace came across as an addlepated nin-com-poot, a young woman with little education, no goals, ambitions or plans. In the end, Grace and Oliver prevailed and were celebrating 25 years of married bliss with their 4 children. They limped and struggled through the pit falls of Lance's efforts to separate them and to capture the bulk of his father's fortune.
