When she’s not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm or connecting with her readers online.For Love or Legacy by Ruth Cardello on Audible: When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York–then came full circle and moved back to New England. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She has created a multi-series billionaire world with a combination of escapism and realism that has gained her a faithful following of readers. Millions of sales are evidence that her that her books are akin to potato chips, addictive from the first one. Ruth Cardello hit the New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers Lists for the first time back in 2012.

I am really enjoying Ruth Cardello‘s books and would recommend you give her a try. Men who are powerful without being too arrogant and women that are strong enough to tame them. Like with Maid for the Billionaire, I feel that this author shows exactly how Mills and Boon Modern/Harlequin Desire books should be written. And I have to make mention of the second last line of the book which I thought was so sweet and made me swoon! The book also nicely set up Jake and Lil’s story which I’m very much looking forward to.

The writing flowed and the style was very readable.

The storyline was interesting and I was always keen to pick up the book and continue where I’d left off. “I am really enjoying Ruth Cardello‘s books and would recommend you give her a try.” The pair also had good chemistry although I would have liked to see a little more action between the pair in the earlier stages! She was fun and likeable and a great foil for the delicious and broody Stephan. I was glad to be proven wrong as she instantly came across as a real woman who had insecurities but a real strength about her. You probably could read them on their own but it’s so much better if you read them in order so you know who’s who in the supporting characters and situations.Īlthough looking forward to this book I was wondering whether I would identify with Nicole as she seemed a bit snippy in the first book.

Edit: This series started off as a trilogy in 2011, but now (2020) comprises of 7 books. This is the second in the Legacy Trilogy after Maid for the Billionaire and before Bedding the Billionaire.
