A Westmoreland Legacy Novel

A riveting, spellbinding, seductive story with a touch of suspense, and an abundance of romance. 
I have said it before, and I do not mind saying it again, Brenda Jackson is a masterful storyteller who seducers the mind while twining the tale of intriguing, lovable characters who are finding their soulmates, finding their destinies, and willing to fight for the love growing in their hearts, minds, and souls. I absolutely love her stories and the mix of the sensual, the sweet, and the dash danger. 
David Holloway, well, he is as honorable as they come, a SEAL in a family of SEALs. His brothers, his father, they all are part of the elite group of military, and they serve with pride and with love for their country. On a mission from his commanders David, aka Flipper, meets Swan Jamison, and the attraction is immediate, sizzling hot, smoldering even, and the last thing the mission needs. 
Swan Jamison is not looking for a man, especially not interested in a military man or interracial dating. She is a beautiful, smart, talented lady. The jewelry she makes, the way it was described, made me want to travel to the Keys and find if there is a real-life 'Swan' out there... Swan has been used before, she has been betrayed, and rejected by her father's family. She does not about give her heart lightly, but there is something in David that makes her trust him, something that makes her open her heart to him without reservations. 
I love how Swan owned who she is, stood for what she believed for, and had an open heart to see the big picture in the case of espionage David was investigating.  I respected her hesitance with David because of how her own relatives had acted, and I appreciate that the author brought up the interracial dating, and the problems, from her point of view. 
There is so much story, emotion, and passion fit into the category length novel, that it all took my breath away while reading it. Just a perfectly and delightfully steamy, adorably sweet, absorbing and alluring tale to escape with. Loved it!
