Description
To beautiful Laura Nolan, the mansion on Indigo Place wasn't just a home--it was her life's passion. Now old family debts were forcing her to sell and, much to her surprise, James Paden was the prospective buyer. Once the high school bad boy, he'd been too dangerous to flirt with, but too gorgeous to ignore. Now he was all man, and he still had the devastating power to seduce Laura's senses, to make her shiver with emotions she dared not confess. . . . He was a rebel millionaire on the wrong show more side of the tracks. Years ago, James Paden skipped town, leaving behind Saturday-night drag races for the thrill of the professional race circuit. He'd burned rubber in the fast lane of beautiful women and big money, but now he's back, a millionaire tycoon with a dream--to lay claim to 22 Indigo Place and its alluring owner. In his mind Laura had always been the girl he couldn't have, the rich man's daughter for whom he'd never be good enough . . . until that moonlit night when the fierce touch of his lips branded her forever his. . . . show lessTags

This was an okay romance from Sandra Brown’s early years, but it comes from the era of romance novels where it was okay for the man to force himself upon the woman until she submitted, because he knew better than her what she really felt. It’s not the violence of rape, but it still doesn’t sit well with me and it puts a shadow over the entire story. I’m sure there are better romances out there.
I enjoyed this book up till about half way.. then I lost interest. I skimmed the rest. Found it repetitive, the heroine was losing her fire and becoming weak, I hated that the Hero kept calling her "baby" even after she'd asked him to stop. Just silly little things but too many to hold my interest.
22 Indigo Place by Sandra Brown
Laura has to sell the house to help some of the debt her father had acquired.
He's now passed away and she has no other options. The only one who's submitted
an offer is James. He does buy it and then everything else in it and she makes a
deal to become his wife, in every sense of the word and to help raise his child
and to help entertain.
She tries to reunite him with his mother, what a mistake that is.
Parties, hurricanes and other things break them further apart...

Typical early contemporary Brown. The characters make or break her books.
Not Brown at her best - very short, simplistic; she later did so much better.
lite romance, woman facing debt sells house to high school bad boy and marries him
