The Return of Rafe MacKade by Nora Roberts
4.0
4 STARS
Bad boy Rafe Mackade has returned home with his quick temper and charming swagger. His plan is to restore the old civil war mansion and turn it into an Inn. Helping him furnish the Inn is newcomer Regan Bishop who owns an antique shop in town. Although she has been warned, Regan can’t help falling for the MacKade charm especially when she sees his sensitivity towards her abused friend, Cassie. Can Regan manage to keep things casual while Rafe tries to keep out of trouble?
This is a reread for me and I still really like this book and cannot wait to read the rest of the series. I like Roberts realistic portrayal of domestic abuse and how a woman tries to free herself from it. The romance between Rafe and Regan is sweet and hot. It does not come off rushed or too much. Roberts also does a great job introducing the other MacKade brothers and sets up the next book. If you are looking for a romance with a bit of substance try this series!
First read in 2008.
