It was ok. Nothing grabbed me to make it exciting or interesting.
I loved this book’s storyline. I loved the hot & steamy scenes. I loved Pete’s character. I loved Ciara. I loved Myra’s character. I loved the ending. Awesome job Ms. Jackson
Another well written Brenda Jackson story!
Delectably delicious! With DUTY OR DESIRE (the fifth book in The Westmoreland Legacy series) Brenda Jackson brings us the ultimate of heroes … he’s a lawman, he’s loyal, he’s ruggedly handsome … and he simply melted this readers heart!
Sheriff Pete Higgins is an attention grabbing character. He’s strong and fierce in his love and protection for those he cares about, but he’s easily soft and tender when showering love on his infant niece. He was easy to like, enjoyable and heartwarming.
Myra was likable right from the start. She has secrets that she’s not sharing, but they aren’t detrimental to Pete and their relationship. I liked the gentleness she brought out in him and the way she brought him back to life again.
I highly recommend this story for anyone who loves a secure man who simply melts when the right woman comes along. There were some fireworks along the way, but their relationship was a slow, steady burn and oh so satisfying. Great character development, a fast paced story line and just enough drama to keep us guessing. I really enjoyed Pete and Myra!
Who are Bonnie, Pete, and Kyra? How do they know one another? Why does Bonnie ask Myra to lunch? Who is Baron? Why is he so disliked? What happens when Wallace calls Myra? I like Bonnie a lot. She and Myra both seem to like Cirara and Ciara likes them right back! Who is she? Who is Flipper and how does he know Bane Westmoreland? What does Flipper do that keeps Pete from having to get up every 20 minutes? I had a really deep belly laugh when I read about that one!!! I had to chuckle about the Westmoreland clan! Oh my goodness, what Baron and his mother Charlene had planned blew my mind! Wait for the ending!
RECEIVED THIS BOOK from Netgalley AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin’ With M. Brennan.
This book was so good . It’s a step up from her last few Westmoreland adjacent books, and I’m thrilled for that.
Pete and Myra got all the angst going on that sets up the drama sizzle and hea . The supporting characters as always were a plus to the story.
I enjoyed this book and think you will as well.
From old friends to new acquaintances, the Westmorelands are ever growing. Brenda Jackson drives that point home with The Westmoreland Legacy series. Duty or Desire is the latest asset to this wonderful dynasty that Jackson has created. Pete is a friend of the family. Responsible, wealthy, a bit jaded, but all heart. Pete is struggling with heartbreaking life twists both in his past and present. The most recent tragedy has left him guardian to his baby niece. Love does not come easy to him, but when he gives his heart like everything, he gives 100%. When a surprising turn of events brings him face to face with his destiny, he has some choices to make. Will he spend his life, living in the past, nursing heartache or will open his heart to a second chance, before it slips through his fingers? I’m a sucker for a single dad story. They are so adorable that they make my heart hurt.
