Another fine romance by this great talent

In Turn-Coupe, Louisiana, the peace of the recently dead is being destroyed by a war between funeral homes. The powerful Berry Association will do anything to bury its competition. Lewis Crompton, the owner of Crompton's Funeral Home, refuses to fold under the price gouging scheme of Berry to drive the competitors out of the lucrative market. Gervis Berry sends Regina Dalton, who he blackmails into doing his bidding, to dig up dirt to be used to destroy Lewis. Regina soon meets Lewis's grandson "Sugar" Kane Benedict, a lawyer. Kane finds himself very attracted to Regina, but knows he cannot trust her because she is out to ruin his grandfather. He plans to pour on the "Sugar" to obtain the truth from Regina, who is attracted to Kane. However, she knows that her feelings for Kane cannot go anywhere because she cannot afford to cross Gervis without her family suffering grave consequences. New York Times best selling author Jennifer Blake is renowned for her torrid contemporary novels. Her latest book, KANE, is the first in a series set in Turn-Coupe. The story line is interesting and brisk, and Kane lives up to his nickname. The support cast adds a southern authenticity to the tale. In spite of the fact that Regina is such a weak individual, Ms. Blake's fans will dig this fiction and want more in the series. Harriet Klausner
