CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE |4| Dianthia Lemons
REVIEW: Devon
Mitchell is an intelligent man who lets his hormones get the best of him through
a woman named Candace. Even though he eventually corrects the error of his ways
and breaks things off with his gold digger, she refused to go away. A freak
accident changes his life and torments his future because he feels he is
responsible for the death of his girlfriend.
Needing to get away, Devon goes to his Uncle’s farm in Illinois and plans to
stay there until he can make decisions about his future. His hiatus is short
lived, however, when he finds out that the Art Gallery that was left to him by
his beloved grandmother is in financial difficulty and strange mishaps have
occurred. Devon travels to Washington D.C. to investigate what has happened to
his legacy and find out who is responsible.
Jayde Seaton is the Assistant Director of the Well’s Gallery and is primed to
become its newest Director or so she thinks. Her meeting with Maxwell Shaw not
only upsets her but she has to see someone else named the new Director of the
gallery. Jayde is not only livid, she knows this man and plans to make his life
a living hell for stealing her job. Initially she makes his life miserable but
things backfire and she loses her heart. What will his past cost?
I really enjoyed reading this debut novel by Lisa Y. Watson.
