Reluctant Relative

Alandra Todd went to see her elderly grandfather Alan Todd, because her mother asked her to as she was dying.Alandra was prepared to hate the old man, because he was mean to her mother Lucy and her father Edward, because Lucy was sickly before Ted married her, and Alan though Edward could do better for himself, plus Edward left Alan at a very bad time for the company. Alan blamed Lucy for this too.But when Alandra got to Roseacres she found a very weak old man, and a strong minded young man Matt Carstairs, she was sure Matt had robbed the old man of his home.Soon Alandra became as attacted to the old man as she had been to her mother, and reluctanly she gained Matt's respect.Because Alan seemed to come alive because of Alandra being there, Matt offered to pay Alandra to stay for the old man's sake, but I think Matt wanted Alandre to stay for his sake.Alandra had two cousins living with her grandfather; Josephine, and Robbie.Robbie had a crush on Alandra, and Jo had a crush on Matt.Matt had the hots for Alandra and though she would not admit it even to herself, Alandra had a thing for Matt.Alandra left Roseacres just as she was to get the money from Matt, and Matt was sure he knew why. This book has some very bad language, but Matt thinks he has the right to speak to Alandra like she is a fluzie.I liked this book, but I also like Susan Fox, Rebecca Winters, Eva Rutland, Diana Palmer, the late Essie Summers, and the late Betty Neels.
