Book Review: Breathless (Old West #2) By Beverly Jenkins


 

About:

A strong-willed beauty finds herself in the arms of the handsome drifter from her past, in this second book in the sizzling series set in the Old West, from USA Today bestselling author Beverly Jenkins.


All it takes is one touch . . .

As manager of one of the finest hotels in Arizona Territory, Portia Carmichael has respect and stability—qualities sorely missing from her harsh childhood. She refuses to jeopardize that by hitching herself to the wrong man. Suitors are plentiful, but none of them has ever looked quite as tempting as the family friend who just rode into town…and none has looked at her with such intensity and heat.

Duchess. That’s the nickname Kent Randolph gave Portia when she was a young girl. Now she’s a stunning, intelligent woman—and Kent has learned his share of hard lessons. After drifting through the West, he’s learned the value of a place to settle down, and in Portia’s arms he’s found that and more. But convincing her to trust him with her heart, not just her passion, will be the greatest challenge he’s known—and one he intends to win…


My Thoughts


In this second installment of The Old West Series, we follow Portia Carmicheal, an ambitious young woman intent on being nothing like her prostitute mother Corrine. Portia had always been extremely focused on building a career in bookkeeping and kept busy running her uncle Rhine's hotel. She had little interest in men, at least until the cowboy Kent Randolph showed up.

In Kent she found a man who understood her..

I loved this everything about this couple. Again like the first installment Forbidden, Jenkins gave us not only romance, but history and excitement. I look forward to the next book in the series.
