Wild and unpredictable -- Highly recommended, Dec 10 2001
As a child Brendan, in a time when there wasn't always enough to eat, dreamed of having enough money to travel the world. He always hated to fight, preferring the power of words to the power of a fist. Sometimes life throws a punch, however, that has to be returned; like the night he intervenes in a fight to assist a pretty waitress. Something about the pretty blond doesn't fit the bar; maybe she moves with to much grace, maybe she is just too classy. Whatever that quality is, others notice too and like to manhandle her. Brendan's brothers had made the mistake of saving damsels in distress and wound up married - a fate Brendan prefers to avoid. But ten minutes after he meets her, before he even knows his name, he wants to kiss her.At twenty-six, Amelia Aldrich Sloane ran away from home a week before her wedding. Tired of the strictures placed upon her by her family and their position in society, Amy has spent the last six months avoiding private detectives and earning her own way. Too bad the guy from the bar got her fired and cost her a place to live. When he appears in the late night fog, she accepts a bunk on his ship for the night. Soon she parlays it into a job as an assistant as Brendan completes his latest book. Born for adventure, Amy would enjoy an affair with Brendan -- which would be the greatest adventure of all. But the question remains as to what will she do if an affair just not enough. The third Quinn falls to the powers of love in THE MIGHTY QUINNS: BRENDAN. While the heroine and hero come from radically different backgrounds, they share a love for adventure. Bold and wild, Amy is an impetuous and bold heroine. While she's a bit immature at times with her silly blame game, she does use it to good effect. She also throws a mean punch, proving her ability to protect herself in the world she's chosen to hide. The harder Brendan protests falling in love, the harder he seems to fall. A wild and unpredictable pleasure, THE MIGHTY QUINNS: BRENDAN comes highly recommended.
