It's the craziest time of year in New Orleans, but Charlotte Marchand has never experienced a Mardi Gras quite like this. Someone on her staff is out to destroy her family's hotel, and as general manager, she can't let that happen. Even the unexpected return of her high school sweetheart, Jackson Bailey, can't completely distract her.

But it's only when the two of them are kidnapped and their lives are at risk that Charlotte reaches the stunning realization: Jackson is the only man she's ever loved.

This review is from: Unmasked (Hotel Marchand) (Mass Market Paperback)

As Mardi Gras approaches Charlotte Marchand knows her beloved family run hotel is in financial trouble as recent publicized problems like the fire have led to cancellations. She believes the buck stops here as the manager so she needs a plan to save the Hotel Marchand, but none seem forthcoming. Charlotte also marvels that her three sisters and her mom are engaged to get married; she is happy for them but wonders why her prince, albeit a loving wealthy one, doesn't arrive to charm her and save her beloved hotel.

Two decades ago Dr, Jackson Bailey and Charlotte were an entry, but something broke them apart. Neither forgot their true love though both moved on. When they see one another, sparks ignite with this time Jackson vowing to not let history repeat itself. As they have a second chance at love, they must save the Hotel from the odious extortion tricks of Mike Blount and also foil her grandmamma Celeste Robichaux, who abetted by their foolishness and pride, stopped their relationship the first time around.

UNMASKED is an apt title not just because of the Mardi Gras, but also because readers see much more of the takeover plot to steal the Hotel from the Marchand family. The cast is solid as it has become a trademark of the miniseries, but the lead couple is perhaps the best pairing to date as they have a history to overcome as much as they have adversaries to defeat. Ingrid Weaver provides a strong entry starring two fortyish protagonists who learn love has no expiration date.
