What he does is a mystery, even at the end of the book. That he pays in cash, that his SUV is dirty, and that he looks hot and dangerous. But Cassie knows only a few things about Deacon before she invites him to her bed. The reader is treated to Deacon doing good guy things such as standing up for drugged teens, being patient with children, and helping Cassie around the property. Through Cassie’s friend Milagro we question Cassie’s seemingly unquestioning acceptance of a man who only spends a few weeks with her, never divulges any details of his past, but promises that his future is in her eyes. Part of the conceit of this book is that the reader assumes the hero is a good guy. He does so but he’s not willing to give Cassie anything but his real name, Deacon, and only his first name at that. Yet there would be no book if Priest does not succumb. During one visit, she takes a piece of pie to his door and is turned down, abruptly. With each infrequent stay, Cassie becomes more attached to the enigmatic Priest. In the beginning, it’s amusing to see Cassie proudly inform the returning Priest that the rates to her cabins have gone up. He pays in cash and his ID is no doubt fake.īut John turns out to be more steady than Grant and soon Grant is kicked to the curb as Cassie builds up her business. Grant turns out to be a lazy asshole and her only returning customer is “John Priest”, a big guy who has danger written all over him. She moves with her boyfriend Grant and begins to renovate the cabins.
After years of saving, Cassie buys a Colorado property consisting of eleven rundown cabins. There aren’t a lot of hijinks and there isn’t an overriding suspense story.īecause it’s told almost entirely from the heroine’s point of view, it’s more about what will Cassie endure to have the love of her life. This is a relationship book more than anything. I’ve read Knight, Raid, tried Creed and abandoned it, and now Deacon. This is the fourth in the Unfinished Hero series.
