5.0 out of 5 stars The Final in the Alcolar Series - Just a Beautiful Read!, November 2, 2005

This review is from: Bound By Blackmail (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

Revenge or lust? Jake Taverner is immediately drawn to Mercedes Alcolar the only daughter of Juan Alcolar, media mogul and Spanish aristocrat. All he knows is that he must have her even though revenge for her family is at the top of the Taverner's list. From the moment Jake sees this beautiful and proud lady he is driven to get to know her and get her into his bed. From their first dance and then a casual dinner, sparks fly and passion ignites. Mercedes flees Jake's home and he pursues her only to be turned down several times. His cousin Ramon's wedding presents the perfect opportunity to see Mercedes again. At the wedding, Jake becomes involved in an argument and confrontation with Mercedes and her future fiancé. In order to protect Mercedes from scandal, Jake claims he and Mercedes are engaged. Let's just say from then on their story begins in a very "heated" way.

Mercedes, the only child and sister of the strong and power Alcolar Family feels weak in the knees when she first meets this tall, strong and handsome Jake. As a woman, she becomes aware of herself and is pulled in a powerful way to this man. Blackmailed into a false engagement? How dare he? How dare the handsome Jake make her heart and blood pound? How dare he bring out feelings of lust and love? Their story guarantees passion and will pull at your heart

Bound for Blackmail is the final book in the Alcolar's series. Again, Kate Walker has written three incredible books connecting this "dysfunctional" family together and making the reader believe that love can indeed conquer all, heals old childhood memories and family issues, bringing these wonderful characters full circle and creating a powerful family. I personally will miss The Alcolar's as I've come to love each and everyone of them.

Additional books in the series are:

The Twelve- Month Mistress

The Spaniard's Inconvenient Wife

Jake the gorgeous,alpha,rich man in Mercedes life had a secret he hadn't shared with her. Mercedes was the spoiled rich girl that took only one look and Jake was head over heals for her. I loved this story because she kept running away and he just kept going after her. I don't want to tell you too much of this story but it was great and I gave it five stars and I recommend it highly.

Jake wants Mercedes, no matter what the cost. But though he may find a way to entice her to his bed, there's only one way he can keep her there....love. Two passionate people find that despite the odds, they could be meant for each other.

Walker closes out her Alocar Family series with a hot story that is just as gripping as the others!
