This review is from: Passionate Deception (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)

Elderly Mrs. Elsie Peters is about to have her house demolished to make way for a housing development. Mrs. Peters, needing help, went to a local law centre and met twenty-eight-year-old Harriet Drummond, who was just waiting for her final exams to be posted, then she would be a solicitor for real. With a little investigation Harriet finds out that there is a bit of corruption going on involving a subsidiary company owned by Lancaster International, so she decides to get a few friends and picket the company during their shareholders meeting.

Jake Lancaster was irritated as all heck when he was confronted with the demonstration and he turned angrier with the tall, statuesque girl responsible for it when she crashed his shareholders meeting. But after talking to her, he becomes interested in her story and more importantly in her. How could a brash young woman like this crash her way into his life and turn it upside down so?

This is the kind of romance that I like, one with believable and interesting people that held my attention and made me feel good when I finished. You can't go wrong with this one.
