Lincoln

'Lincoln' is book three in Kathi S. Barton's "The Manning Dragons" series and picks up pretty close to where the ending of 'Hudson' left off. Do you remember Ginger from book two? If you do, then you'll also remember her asking the Mannings to contact her sister Grace to let her know she and her daughter were free of her husband and were all right, and ask her to come to see her. Yep, you guessed it. This is Ginger, Grace's twin sister, and Lincoln's part of the story. Lucas had been the one to make the call and the arrangements to bring Grace in. He'd also done some checking and found out she was an accomplished artist who was vastly underselling herself and her work. After browsing her catalog and buying two of her paintings, that's when Lucas called a friend of his, who was also an art critic/dealer, and had him take a look. He knew Grace was going to be famous and just hoped she didn't outgrow his little studio too soon. Ginger definitely has an abrasive personality when she and Lincoln first get together. As intense as the chemistry is, that's how hard Ginger fought it until the night fireworks exploded between them. When it was over, Ginger's heart and mind seemed to have an argument and her mind won. She unleashed on Lincoln, telling him he had taken advantage of her and slapping him. Lincoln was hit with a plethora of emotions. He was angry, sad, wounded, heartbroken. Will these two ever get to have their happy ending? What a great addition that makes me just want to continue reading this series as quickly as possible.
