Every woman should have a hero like Luke in her life. Failing that, we can at least read his story and pretend, for a moment, that we're the love of his life, his 'final conquest', April Halstead. This is a great read, spiced with hot Southern nights and blended with mystery. April is a writer who uses words as her weapon, but Luke, knowing that mere words will not protect her, places himself in the role of knight, whether she wants him to or not. The resulting friction is steamy and satisfying, as are all novels from the 'Queen of Romantic Fiction', Jennifer Blake.

In Turn-Coupe, Louisiana Luke Benedict hears the stalker threatening romance writer April Halstead while she is a guest on a radio show. He immediately races over to her home, but receives a chilly reception because the twosome has a history together in which he failed her thirteen years ago. April wonders what happened to her secure world. First, her ex-spouse wants to return, a concept she abhors. Then the stalker has assailed her via the Internet, telephone, and mail. Now the worst, Luke, who she still loves, has arrived on the scene

Luke plans to ignore April's wishes that he leaves her alone. Instead, he decides to protect the only person he has ever loved even if he has to kidnap her. However, Luke,s intentions fail as April's determined enemy abducts her, leaving it up to him to save his beloved.

With LUKE, Jennifer Blake demonstrates why she is one of the most highly regarded romance writers of all times. The story line is filled with fried emotions, plenty of action, and a first love that just will not quit, overcoming false pride. The lead characters are warm and charming, though the villains are more cartoonish than real in nature. The award winning Ms. Blake appears to have written another international best seller.

luke figures he's the only one in Turncoupe, Louisiana, who can save novelist April Halstead from someone intent on revenge...
If only he could get her to cooperate. years ago Luke let her down in the worst possible way.
great read

I suspect we all fantasize from time to time about being saved from ourselves. Luke and April are the perfect couple, but life has thrown them a few curves. I was up half the night zipping through this incredible book. Loved the keen glimpses into the life of a real live fiction writer. Jennifer Blake is an accomplished author and has been a personal favorite for many years!

Luke has it all -- suspense, steam, and characters you can fall in love with. Luke and April charmed me from the very first, and I couldn't wait to see how it all turned out!

I really wanted to like it since I loved Blake's Louisiana Dawn. But in the book Luke the plot was boring (he saves the helpless girl) and the chemistry was not intense enough for me. He loves her from page 1 (like a puppy/too sappy for me) and drops everything to follow her to a conference (when supposedly she despises him and she does not want his help). I guess it was too unrealistic for me.

I read Kane, then went on to Luke and can't wait for something, anything, on Roan. The "southern" thing hooked me.Luke and April have thee chemistry! The way they come together after everything,makes you believe in true love.
