Review: THE WILD ONE by Denise Eagan
It is 1885 and Jessica Sullivan is an actress in San Francisco. Acting is her job and a way to pay her debts. Her best friend and roommate Michelle, on the other hand, loves the adoration of her fans, mainly men. Michelle introduces Jessica to Lee Montgomery, a gambler and one of Michelle’s lovers.
Jessica has no use for men, especially after her traitorous husband deserted her, taking her inheritance as well as her brother’s inheritance and leaving her in poverty six years ago. So it is no wonder that Michelle’s plan to match up Jessica and Lee is met with contempt. However, Lee is attracted to the wounded Jessica and slowly worms his way into her heart. But when the two are accused of murder, their future may end at the hangman’s gallows.
Gifted author Denise Eagan continues the saga of the Montgomery family with her thrilling storyline set in the West during the Victorian era. Lee Montgomery is sinfully handsome and independently wealthy due to his legendary gambling skills and family ties. He fits in as well in his family’s stuffy, Boston, upper-crust soirées as he does in a seamy western saloon, although he prefers the saloon. Lee is compassionate and wants nothing more than to help the gorgeous Jessica, a feisty woman who is not afraid of speaking her mind. Settle back with this intriguing tale and enjoy the talent of up-and-coming romance writer Denise Eagan. The witty dialogue will capture you and the sensuous love scenes and exhilarating flight from danger will keep you reading. Hopefully, Ms. Eagan will gift us with more about the Montgomery clan soon.
