The second in the Diamonds and Daddies series continues with a new mystery, but this one builds on the happenings in the previous book. Akeem Abdul arrives at the McKade ranch for business related to the incident in the first book, Rita Herron’s Platinum Cowboy, but that is quickly shifted aside when he learns Taylor McKade's little boy had disappeared. This kidnapping is very personal for Akeem, as he has loved Taylor for years and now that she’s divorced, he finally sees a chance to win her heart.
This book was very tension filled, even more than Platinum Cowboy. Where in Platinum Cowboy several small incidents led to the big finish, this book revolved around one thing and one thing only: the kidnapping. It was a very good read with a very believable romance, but there was one moment in the book that stood out in a negative way. I mean, really, sex in the middle of a kidnapping case, while in danger, on top of a ledge? It was an obvious and fairly unbelievable ploy, just to get in the obligatory sex scene. I’d have been happier if Dana Marton had left that out and just stuck with the one sex scene at the end, which did feel real and believable.
