I love any novel set in the Twenties. I especially love a Twenties flapper, the kind of girl who takes chances and breaks rules and lets the men folk catch up to her if they can! Alexis Runnels is all those things and more. She's from a rich oil family in Texas, but because she's adopted she has a lot of emotional issues that make her feel like an outsider. Tough on the outside, bruised on the inside, Alexis is the kind of heroine almost anyone can identify with. When she meets maverick oil man Jon Callahan, she sees the chance to step out from her family's shadow and become her own person. It doesn't hurt that Jon is strong, gorgeous, and absolutely loaded. Being an older man, he is also a source of stability in her turbulent life. This book has tough, gritty business scenes, sex scenes, intrigue, and an incredible amount of information on the history of oil money in Texas.
