Sometimes you get what you need.
Damien Sinclair has
witnessed more than his share of love's ugly aftermath—first as a child of
quarreling parents and these days as an acclaimed divorce attorney. His
solution? Control. From his immaculate, organized penthouse to his
monochromatic wardrobe to his refusal to let anyone get too close, Damien is
master of all he sees… Or so he thinks. Then an attempt on his life leaves him
struggling with PTSD.
Free-spirited Harley
Taylor, Damien’s childhood friend and a one-time fling, arrives on his doorstep,
having appointed herself his caregiver. She’s his polar opposite and hell bent
on redirecting his life. And if somehow that life might expand to include her
for the long term, even better. Either way, the man needs to learn not to take
himself so seriously. If that involves a prank or two, so be it.
Interacting for the
first time in a decade, Harley and Damien find their attraction still
smoldering. But to what end? Is Harley the shot of color Damien needs to
disperse the black cloud that plagues him? Or are they destined to destroy each
other all over again?

The Redirection of Damien Sinclair by Nancee CainMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Reunion of Rich Boy and Servant Girl
The Pine Bluff series features a fun, varied group of twenty-somethings living in small town Alabama. I love how each character has unique quirks and life circumstances. In the fourth installment, cranky attorney Damien fights off his budding attraction to his childhood sweetheart, Harley. It's the reunion of the over-responsible boy and the little girl with stars in her eyes.
Damien's wealthy family employed Harley's parents as cook and butler. Damien, his younger brother Angel, and Harley shared childhood spats and adventures. As teenagers, Damien and Harley fell in love, but their parents squashed their romance due to socioeconomic differences.
Flash forward to present time. Damien has just sustained a trauma involving his career as a divorce attorney, and Harley arrives to nurse him back to health. This time they don't have their parents standing between them, yet there are still haunting barriers to their love.
Harley tells Damien,
"You know, I credit myself with your success as a lawyer. Think about all those years you practiced arguing with me."
Unfortunately Damien has had too much success at helping his clients divorce each other, which has led him to be cynical and frightened about love.
Damien and Harley meet Harley's former lover, Mark, and the woman who loves Mark, Jinx. Jinx owns a big dog and it sounds like Mark, Jinx, and the dog will be main characters in book five.
It was the biggest goddamned dog Damien had ever seen. His tail swept across the floor like a windshield wiper.
Looking forward to future books in the series!

Author Bio
During the
day, Nancee works as a counselor/nurse in the field of addiction to support her
coffee and reading habit. Nights are spent writing paranormal and contemporary
romances with a serrated edge. Authors are her rock stars, and she’s been
known to stalk a few for an autograph, but not in a scary, Stephen King way.
Her husband swears her To-Be-Read list on her e-reader qualifies her as a
certifiable book hoarder. Always looking to try something new, she dreams
of being an extra in a Bollywood film, or a tattoo artist. (Her lack of rhythm
and artistic ability may put a damper on both of these dreams.)
