Four years ago, Brenda Davis performed
the ultimate sacrifice – she had to give up her newborn
child. She blamed her parents, her no-good
ex-boyfriend/child’s father and most of all, the slick
lawyer who successfully tricked her into putting her son up
for adoption. Brenda never really recovered from her
painful ordeal and she vowed to never put her trust in any
man, let alone an attorney ever again. That was until she
met Gil Jackson. He was everything that she despised. He
was very domineering, relentless to the core and worst of
all, he was a lawyer! Yet, Gil still managed to worm his
way under her skin and into her heart with his charming,
unforgettable personality. Then, Brenda discovered that Gil
had a son who was the same age as her long lost son would
be.
Although, he knew his aunt only had his
best interest at heart, especially since he had lost his
wife to death; however, Gil Jackson was growing a little
tired of his aunt playing matchmaker. Yet, Gil couldn’t
find it in within himself to make too much of a fuss toward
his beloved aunt’s harmless schemes. Then, his aunt
introduced him to Brenda Davis. From that moment forth, Gil
was determined to have Brenda in his life. But, things
didn’t run as smoothly as Gil had planned because Brenda
threw up a roadblock at every turn. Not to be deterred, Gil
resorted to whatever was necessary in order to win Brenda’s
heart. And, win her heart he did until a chilling secret
from the past posed a threat to break up the couple’s newly
found romance. Will their love and trust stand the test of
time or was all hope lost?
The Price of Love was a heartfelt, gripping
story written by Beverly Clark. I sincerely felt sorry for
Brenda and I understood her abhorrence towards men and
lawyers in particular. If I had experienced her dramatic
trauma, I can’t honestly say that I would have reacted any
differently. However, I applaud Gil for his patience and
tolerance towards Brenda’s negative attitude, even when he
didn’t know all the details behind it. Somehow, he was able
to see what truly lied underneath and he was determined to
draw it out to the forefront. I was immediately drawn to
Gil’s charm and thought he was the perfect person to unleash
Brenda’s passion. The chemistry ignited instantly between
couple. And, although, Brenda tried to fight it, the desire
to be held and loved by Gil could not be denied. With
emotional, dynamic characters and a surprising, spectacular
plot, The Price of Love is a story that should
not be missed. |
