First published in 1995 by Silhouette
Ten years after disappearing from Antietam, Maryland, the bad boy has returned. Cleaned up and successful now--and still dangerously good-looking--Rafe MacKade sets the town on fire, and tongues wagging.
Lovely newcomer Regan Jones is intrigued--what kind of man could cause this sort of talk? She's just about to find out....
I'm not sure I can really say I enjoyed this early book by Nora Roberts. The Return of Rafe MacKade is the first in a series about the MacKade brothers living in a small town. Rafe MacKade has moved back to town and is turning the local haunted house into a bed and breakfast. Regan is helping him furnish the house with antiques. He wants her for more than that.
I wasn't a fan of either main character. Rafe was a jerk throughout pretty much the entire book. I like an alpha male character, but when he asks a woman how much longer he has to wait for sex, I lose a lot of respect for said character. Regan was kind of a wet dishrag and really uptight. She claims to be independent, but I never really saw it. They had too much angry sex and fought all the time. I wasn't confident in their relationship. The "Grease" ending moment was kind of ridiculous.
The side story of Cassie and her abusive husband was more interesting. I liked the conclusion to that part of the story. I hope she and Devon get together in a later book.
