Minerva Athena Jones had her life somewhat planned out, at least the education part. Nowhere in oher future did she envision something devastating happening on the day she was to celebrate her graduating from college, with her brother. The situation was so grim her brother’s closest friend, David Sims, encouraged her to leave California and lay low in New Jersey, with his cousins, until things returned to normal. What Minerva did not plan for was being under the watchful eye of Detective Lawrence Hightower. In The Law of Desire by Gwyneth Bolton, you will see what happens when you put a smart and sassy woman together with a head strong, follow the law to the tee, detective.

Minerva grew up under the watchful eye of her big brother, Calvin. Because of him she never knew what it was like to be in love. The problems that sent her running to New Jersey may be the new reason why she does not know what love feels like if Detective Hightower cannot figure out who is after her and why. Can Minerva and Lawrence learn to trust each other in order to keep her alive?

The Law of Desire was my first time reading anything written by Gwyneth Bolton. I could kick myself now for waiting this long. Ms. Bolton is a great storyteller. The characters were so believable and likeable. The editing needed some polishing, but it was not anything major to take away from the heightened suspense and tension between Minerva and Lawrence. I recommend The Law of Desire to readers of romance and to anyone wanting to try an author they have seen on the shelf but were reluctant to buy a copy of her book.
