Undeniable Love

This is a great book of love, murder, and intrigue. Adrianne Byrd's "Her Lover's Legacy" sets the pace for the other books in the series. It's a great start to what's happening with the Braddock clan and those they love. In this book, Malcolm has trouble accepting his father's death and may even feel that he did not do enough while his father was alive. Malcolm and Senator Braddock did not share the views on his issues, therefore, Malcolm distanced himself before his father's death. Now after the senator's death, Gloria Kingsley, the senator's "right hand" assistant teams up with others and try to persuade Malcolm that he is the man to follow in his father's footsteps -- that is, his political seat. While burning the midnight oil in Senator Braddock's office, Malcolm and Gloria become closer. Gloria has beliefs that the Senator's death was no accident and begin putting clues she has together. She ask Malcolm's assistance in helping her to solve the mystery. During this time, Malcolm realizes that Gloria was not only her father's great asset, but that Gloria is downright persuasive in everything she sets out to do. Malcolm also sees Gloria for the beautiful woman that she is. In turn, Gloria is not all work and no play as others believe her to be. Gloria realizes that she cares deeply for Malcolm and set out to prove to him that he also cares for and for what his father left behind -- a job that was not finished which Gloria feels Malcolm is the perfect candidate to finish. Can Gloria convince Malcolm the man, as well as the man who is now her lover, that he must finish his father's legacy or will Malcolm let everything that his father started go unfinish? This book was full of intrigue and mystery, but it was laced with the right about of love and romance. Again, Ms. Byrd, great book and great start.

Great Read!

I loved this book, it was very realistic and in some instances I can relate, I appreciate that unlike some of the arabesque books, it was not overly well....corny. Sometimes, I think the authors tend to try to hard to branch out on another level and make the stories more than unrealistic despite the plot being great, but this was well done! I appreciated the authenticity of the story line. I also liked the other two books, sex and the single braddock and Second Chance Baby, written by two other authors, but this one I liked the best besides Second Chance Baby. Great read.

A dynamic must read

Her Lovers Legacy is the dynamic start to the Braddock Series. The story line and main characters keeps you going from start to end. The book tells the story of Malcolm and Gloria, whose lives are thrown together after the sudden death of Malcolm's father/Gloria's boss. Gloria works throughout the book to break through the walls Malcolm has erected to help him see his "legacy". The stubborn ways of both characters makes for some pretty heated and sexy moments in the book. The added twist of the red flags surrounding the death of the Senator will leave you longing for the next book in the series. Ms Byrd has really set the bar high with her story. This is a definite must read story.

The Braddock's Secret Son Series

This book is the first installment of this new series and it is great from the first page to the last. There is love, drama, misunderstanding, mystery and murder and this is the just book one of the series. You will not be able to put this book down until the last page and then you will be more than ready for book two of this series.

Great way to start the series Adrianne!!

Her Lover's Legacy, the first installment int he Braddocks Secret Son series starts off with a bang!! I really enjoyed the chemistry between Malcolm and Gloria. Adrianne does as only she can, I really liked the aloofness (is that a word?) with both Gloria and Malcom and they were so much alike it was funny to see them bump heads all the time, when in fact they were so in love with each other they couldn't see straight. I also liked the lead in to the next story. Good job Adrianne.
