Kris‘ review of Triple Knot by Nikki Soarde
Kat Mulligan, a tiny woman with a big personality and bigger heart, built a business and life for herself and her handicapped brother. Her focus is on the positive—and the future. The past can stay buried.
Until her estranged father suddenly reappears. She tries ignoring him, and the pain he brings with him. However, she can’t ignore his proposition—head to the Australian wilderness in search of a treasure that could change her life.
Dane Calder, her handsome would-be guide, is too irresistible for her own good and the two of them connect explosively. Kat decides to go on the search, but to keep her focused on her goal and not on her rugged guide, she insists her best friend Chay accompany them. The gay man is the perfect chaperone. Or is he?
Dane’s desire for Kat is obvious, but his feelings for her athletic, boy-next-door friend come as a surprise—to all three. None of the adventurers are prepared for the secret loves and desires unleashed beneath the azure skies of the Kakadu.
Cute story. I enjoyed it a lot. This was an interesting plot line. Do you trust the absentee father and possibly get a lot of money or ignore him and keep living your life trying to take care of your brother and living paycheck to paycheck. You have a handicapped brother that you are responsible for and that can cost a lot. Choices, choices. I will not add a synopsis because the back of the book summarizes it pretty well I think.
The story is a third person POV but that person changes between the three characters frequently and that was hard to follow at times. The search was interesting and the sex scenes were HOT but I could not get totally emotionally invested in the characters. I do wish the ending had been a little longer though, but that could just be me wanting the book to be a little longer. This was a decent read and I am interested in reading more by this author.
I give this a 3.5 out of 5
