The Tycoon's Forced Bride

Jane Porter2016
Malcolm McKenzie will never forget that night in New York when he put Ava Galvan in a taxi following a heated argument, and the Argentine beauty was involved in an horrific accident—one that ended her career as an acclaimed soloist with the Manhattan Ballet, and impaired her memory and ability to live an independent life. The Scottish tycoon and philanthropist lives with his guilt, and another consequence: Ava was pregnant with his child the night of the accident. Ever since that night, Malcom has raised Jack as a single father. But Ava is stronger now, and Jack wants his mommy to come home. Malcolm has never stopped wanting her and he’s determined to do whatever it takes to claim Ava—with or without her consent.

This was a short story, short of 100 pages. But what a delightful story, this was despite a couple of things I had issues with. The story starts off with out hero, who has quite a bit of money and power but he needs his wife. His wife, Ava a professional dancer, ends up injured in a car accident, and she receives brain damage. Loses her memory at various moments and in one fatal day, their son she forgets about while out shopping. From that moment, she left her husband and son, her heart full of regret and guilt and knowing that she is a danger to her son. Its been a few years now, and her husband has come back for her. Malcolm misses his wife, but his priority is his son. He will do anything for him, and what his son wants and mostly needs is a mother. Malcolm is a bit of a alpha male but with a mix of a beta, he takes charge when its needs to happen. What was most intriguing was the set up of the story. Seeing a married couple, go through some rough times, and get back together and begin reconnecting with each other. I loved that, and the sweet reunion with her son was quite poignant. I almost cried, it was too sweet. The romance is explosive and not just in the bedroom. They tend to argue (a lot) and to be honest it got a bit too much for me. It seemed a bit repetitive constantly, it was over the same issue. The heroine is so stubborn and prideful. I understand her reasons behind it, and my heart did ache for her as I was reading. But I also admired Malcolm for sticking to his guns, and standing firm against her reasons. A likeable romance of a journey of guilt, regret and a healing love.
