Summary:
Caleb gets duped into paying a LOT of money. Julia needs the money to save her brother, but she comes to care for the guy she scams.
Additional Comments:
- These stories are always fluff pieces, but this plot is more of a stretch than usual.
- I liked the characters, but they were dumb and didn’t always have realistic reactions.
- Forgiveness is a powerful thing, but I have serious issues with a guy who has legit trust issues from being scammed employing the same/similar tactics and the lady being all “oh, I guess I had that coming, shucks” about it.
- Caleb having unholy sums of money sort of took away the power of the scam. I’d be ticked if somebody scammed me out of $5K now, let alone back in a time and place when that was like $100K or more in terms of value. Caleb’s reaction to losing that much was kind of pathetic. He was hurt but more about the broken trust, not ballistic. He could have found out where Julia had gone and tracked her down no problem. Or hired somebody to do it. That’s a big fat plot hole.
- Tom Jordan has a nice voice.
Conclusion:
If you’re a completionist, go for it, but you can enjoy the other books in the series without the entry.
