Luke
Armed & Dangerous #2
by Cheyenne McCray
After four years abroad, Trinity MacKenna has returned home to her family's ranch in southeastern Arizona. Everything in her life is going just the way she planned it--a home in London, a brilliant career, and she's practically engaged to a gorgeous English gentleman. But when Trinity meets Luke, the cowboy turns her perfect world upside down. Everything about him is virile and sexy, dark and dangerous--and definitely not part of Trinity's carefully arranged plans.
From the moment Luke Denver sees the sensual strawberry blond, he knows he's got to have her. Luke is intrigued by Trinity's combination of sophistication and innocence, boldness and shyness. Even when Trinity tells him she's taken, Luke doesn't let that stop him, because he's determined to make her his…no matter the cost.
**Please note: Luke was published in print only with St. Martin's Griffin. Luke was originally published in eBook and print with Ellora's Cave under the title Wildcard. Character names were changed at St. Martin's request, and the "Armed and Dangerous" versions were expanded considerably from the original "Wild" series.
Review:
I originally read Luke way back when it was with Ellora's Cave under the title Wildcard. Since then it has seen character names changed, title changed, and highly expanded....It's a whole new book in my eyes! This was one great story!
We met Trinity in Zack: Armed & Dangerous #1, she is Sky's younger sister and has been off living her life far from the confines of the McKenna ranch and the scrutiny of those she grew up with. Trinity has made some impressive changes in her life, but, still lives with the haunting memories of the way she was treated by the people of her own home town.
Luke is working undercover as the foreman of the McKenna ranch to help with an investigation into a drug smuggling operation. From the moment he spies Trinity, he knows he just has to have her. Trinity has a habit of running from everything and everyone, Luke is just the man to give her the confidence she needs to believe in herself and to finally come home to stay.
These two characters are so much fun to read. Luke is such an alpha/cowboy/cop dude that the testosterone just comes off him in waves...Trinity has gone through so much to reinvent herself while she was away and then discovers that other than the physical changes, she hasn't changed that much at all and she really is the hometown girl she didn't think she wanted to be....
If you like a great story with action, adventure, hot lovin' on a desk, and a confident sexy cowboy who knows how to wear a pair of chaps...then this is the perfect book for you!
~This book is #2 in a series but can be read as a standalone~
