DEVIL'S GAMBIT

Never trust a beautiful man with an Irish brogue. But Tiffany Rhodes must do just that when Zane Sheridan, Irish horse breeder and trader, storms, into her life. Zane comes bearing a tale that her prize stallion, which she thought was dead, is alive and breeding in Ireland. If the horse is alive, what about her husband, who died in the same accident? Gayle Hendrix's melodious voice and charming accents draw the listener into this story of deceit and romance in the California horse-breeding world. While Tiffany appears to distrust Zane's words, she cannot resist his amorous intentions. Hendrix's smooth narration enlivens this romance and the mystery of mistaken identity at the heart of it. Hendrix seamlessly switches accents and intonation from American to Irish as the story alternates between mystery and romance. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2009]
