Tall, Dark and Determined is book two in the Husbands for Hire series. Building on the plot and characters from the first novel, Rugged and Relentless.

Chase Dunstan, has tracked Robert Kane, to a jail cell to learn about his own brothers death in a mine collapse in Hope Falls that left his sister, Laura, a widow. He has questions about the mining incident, the reasons behind the collapse, and the way it was handled afterwards. What current plans is causing one of the mine owners, Braden, to stay in Hope Falls and what did any of this have to do with the incredible newspaper ad, Husbands For Hire ??

Chase and Lacey lock horns right at the start and harsh words are exchanged. I must say I was confused by Laceys character. She really seemed childish, spoiled and a hot head that demands everything her way, no matter if her way made sense or not! I had a hard time seeing any romance between the two. The ending was rushed, almost incomplete, as if she rushed to finish the book and just plain ran out of time!
