This review is from: Yesterday's Roses (Topaz Historical Romances) (Paperback)
Jake Parrish is known as King Midas in San Francisco. He has a terrible injury from the war and a terrible wife who is pregnant and in labor. Hallie is a doctor recently from Philadelphia who just happens to be at the Parrish mansion and delivers the baby.
Hallie finds Jake rude and unpleasantly arrogant. However, after seeing how patient he is with his completely mad wife, she softens toward him. Jake is taken with Hallie and admires her sympathetic nature toward his mentally unbalanced wife and her tolerance of his bad moods. When Jake's wife is murdered, Hallie rushes to Jake's defense and realizes that she has fallen in love with him. Jake is aware of Hallie's feelings but unable to come to grips with his past. The story here is good, the plot line well developed and the characters too. Hallie is wary of falling in love with a handsome man since her attractive father was a philanderer. Jake's character development is well done. His turmoil over the war, his injury, his wife's madness and his own impotency are heartfelt. This would be a four star book except for one missing element, the romance. There were times I almost forgot I was reading a romance. Jake and Callie did have chemistry but the other plot lines overshadowed their romantic story.
