Review: Only A Good Man Will Do (The Good Man, #1) by Dee S. Knight

Synopsis

Daniel Goodman is one of a set of triplets—natural, identical triplets, a rare kind of birth. He is a serious man, often feeling estranged from his wild and carefree brother Jonah and his free-spirited parents. He's also distanced from his other brother Mark, a genius who might or might not realize that he's unlike most other people and doesn't seem to care.

Daniel is a man on a mission. For years he has striven for perfection, fighting for the pinnacle of achievement in his world of academia—Headmaster of Westover Academy. Westover, established before the American Revolution, is still one of the most prestigious schools in the country. They accept only boys whose parents fit a certain mold and only those teachers who hold to a stringent set of mores, on and off campus. Jonah considers his brother a prig. Daniel sees himself as doing his best to serve his students. How much better can he serve them as headmaster? That is what he seeks to find out.

Suddenly, into his cut and dried, strictly black and white life of moral and upright behavior, comes Eve Star, formerly one of Europe's foremost exotic dancers. Her life is anything but cut and dried, black and white. Bad enough that she's enrolled her son in Westover Academy under false pretenses. More, she runs the town's most disreputable bar. Worse, much to Daniel's dismay, he finds himself drawn to her like a kid to chocolate. Nothing good can come of this attraction. Or can it? He is, after all, a good man.

Review

It's a wonderful love story and I enjoyed it immensely. It's well-written, has amazing characters, very interesting plot, and a perfect beginning as well as ending. It is emotional, funny, hot, and everything in between. I think it is definitely a must read for romance fans. And I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as I did.

Daniel Goodman is a teacher and he cares deeply for his students. Unfortunately, the school he teaches at cares more about the appearances than anything else. There is so much he has to keep secret just so he don't get kicked out of the academy. He can only help his pupils if he is there, or so he keeps telling himself. That's the reason why I doesn't want to attend his parents wedding and also why he must keep his love life hidden. It is for every one's best interest. He is not a bad person and believes in doing the right thing no matter what.

Everyone has their secrets and Eve Star too. There are many reasons why she can't get involved with Mr. Goodman but her hearts wants him. He is the first man she is willing to trust in a long, long time. But trusting him might cost them both dearly. Will their lives withstand the heartbreak that is sure to follow if they let their guards down? Surely not, but what can they do when they seem to be falling in love faster than they should.

A hot and steamy romance novel that will make you smile and cry both at the same time. I think it is a very entertaining book and would recommend it to all my reader friends.
