The Last White Knight

Description
Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:With her frayed jeans and cascade of tousled dark hair, Lynn Shaw looks more like one of the teenage residents of Horizon House than their counselor. So it’s no wonder State Senator Erik Gunther mistakes her for one. Not that he exactly fits the description of a politician, with his movie-star looks and athletic build. Even Lynn, cynical, stubborn, and decidedly not looking for a relationship, can’t ignore her body’s response to the man.Allegedly, show more he’s come to defend Lynn from angry locals who don’t want her home for delinquent girls in their neighborhood. But as far as Lynn is concerned, he’s looking for a photo op, a chance to play the hero–the last thing either she or her troubled girls need.
What they need is understanding. Lynn knows teenage rebellion all too well. And she knows firsthand its heartbreaking price. She won’t touch the good senator with a ten-foot pole only to watch him disappear once he gets what he wants. Unfortunately, Erik refuses to go away.
The moment Erik looks into her emerald eyes, his interest in work falls into serious competition with his interest in Lynn Shaw. Her rejection of his assistance only intrigues him further. He is determined to know her–and to help her. If that means practically moving into Horizon House, so be it.
But as the two engage in a battle of hearts, it becomes clear that Lynn is waging a private war of her own, against demons of the past–and against her overwhelming desire for the one man who may be worth fighting for. show less

Even thought this is one of Tami Hoag's early works, it still resonates with emotion. The story is short, but fits the profile of the series romance that it once was. I so miss Tami Hoag as a romantic suspense writer. I know she currently writes only suspense novels, but her depth of description and emotion always came through in her romance novels. It's too bad, that just once in a while, she doesn't come out with a romance novel.

This book follows Straight From the Heart. It is about the sister of the girl in the first book. She works at a home for pregnant girls. A state senator comes to the home to get some publicity and thinks she is a resident there. They fall in love but she has a "past" and refuses his love so that she will not ruin his chances as a politian but he convinces her that together they can weather anything. Pretty ordinary and very much on the surface. Characterization was pretty superficial.
Once upon a time Tami Hoag wrote romances. This is a rather simplistic romance and not one of the mystery/suspense novels that she now writes.
She is better at the latter than the former.

He's too arrogant and there is no substance to the characters
