Stunning, stubborn, and independent, Philadelphia Fox lost her best friend because of the fabulously rich and powerful Lightfoot family of Washington state. Now she's got her friend's controlling shares in Lightfoot Industries - an inheritance that brings Nick, the family's prodigal and supremely attractive son, knocking at her door. An unexpected and irrepressible spark between them blazes into extraordinary passion, and Phila - historically unlucky in love - finds the deepest satisfaction she has ever known. But behind Nick's gray eyes lurks a disturbing enigma...and Phila must make the choice of her life. Trusting Nick may come with quite a price - but giving in to his strong, sensual seduction is a golden chance that may never come again. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Published in 1990, this older work by JAK is definitely a product of its time, touching on some of the era's predominant issues including the clash between conservatives and liberals as well as women's continued struggle for sexual liberation and professional recognition. These concerns are reflected not only in the dynamics between the hero, Nick Lightfoot, the scion of a powerful conservative family, and the heroine, Philadelphia, a left-wing liberal social worker, but also in the actions and interactions of the secondary characters.
Nevertheless, the story is first and foremost a romance, and in this regard, it has withstood the test of time. Nick and Phila are a delightful couple despite his arrogant and somewhat patronizing attitude and her quirky, free-spirited approach to life. They have great chemistry, and it is clear that their feelings for one another are based on true caring and mutual respect irrespective of their clashing personalities.
The rest of the plot focusing on the conflicts within the Lightfoot-Castleton families is reminiscent of the prime time soaps so common in the late 80s and early 90s particularly Dynasty, Dallas and Falcon's Crest. It is easy very easy to picture J.R. Ewing, Blake Carrington and Angela Channing in JAK's characters.
All in all, a light and entertaining read with just the right mix of romance, suspense and intrigue. (
