I will be the first to
admit I don't normally read romance novels, but I had two reasons for reading Rachel
Brimble's A Man Like Him. Number one, I've heard about her and her
writing through the grapevine. Number two, while she lives "across the
pond", her book kept appearing on bookshelves everywhere I turned since we both have the same agent!
And, I have to admit, I
was also a bit curious about the cover blurb about having flash flood in a park and the need for a hero.
Rachel did not
disappoint! From page one I was caught up in both Chris and Angela's lives--as
well as his sister Cat's!--and followed them through twists and turns to a
climax that kept me turning page after page late at night until done! She has a
wonderful way of setting a scene and her writing is so full of vivid
descriptions that keep the story moving well.
A Man Like Him is a great
read for the adventure, the romance and for the suspense of it!
And now for a little sample:
Changing her life…again
After two years in hiding, Angela Taylor knows her independence is worth it. As long as she can escape her past, she has everything under control. Until a flash flood hits the park where she works, and hot Chris Forrester shows up the exact moment she needs a hero.
Chris proves he can save lives—and weaken a girl's knees. But how can she make him understand that she's off-limits, that getting close to her will endanger his life? Her happiness or his safety: it shouldn't even be a choice. Because when you love someone, you protect them, no matter the cost. At least, that's what Angela keeps telling herself….
