Joan Johnston presents the thrilling saga of two dynastic families, the Blackthornes and the Creeds, with this powerful New York Times bestseller — a novel of intrigue, passion, ambition, and love set amid Houston’s towering skyscrapers and the majestic plains of South Texas ranch country.
Luke Creed has sacrificed everything for his career at the prestigious law firm DeWitt & Blackthorne: a chance to run his family’s ranching empire, his marriage, even time with his two daughters. Defending a major client in a wrongful death case, Luke crosses paths with his high school sweetheart, Amy Hazeltine Nash, an advocate for the bereaved plaintiff. Now, Luke and Amy are divided by forces beyond themselves — and overcome by an all-consuming desire. But when the case takes a deadly twist, Luke delves into a dangerous web of corruption that may place his life in jeopardy — and may also target the one woman who loves Luke for who he really is: rebel, cowboy, loner, and lover.
Why I LOVE The Price?
This was my first book into Joan Johnston and the Bitter Creek series. The series is based on two feuding families. Its a contemporary romance, dealing with two people that were once together in high school, but went different ways and have now come face to face again. I love the second chance romance theme here. So well done—-fabulous chemistry these two have and boy their bantering is so lively. I highly recommend this jewel to those that love Contemporary romance!!
Second chance romance is always good
Oh this is a new author to me! I’m always looking for more contemporary romances and second chance romance is always good too!
I love second chance romance, so I’m totally adding this to my list. And feuding families too! A fabulous combo I say! 😀
I’ve never read The Price or actually anything by Joan Johnston. I’m glad you really loved this one.
Don’t think I’ve read anything by JJohnston before!! Another author to try out sometime soon 😀
Oh I read one of her last ones in the series and enjoyed it quite a bit! It was my first by her. I need to go back and read all of these. Thanks for the reminder! They’d slipped off my radar in the rush of other books (boo me! lol)
I haven’t read anything by her before but this sounds nice.

And another author I still have on the list to read. I’ve seen some good review thoughts on this series, too. Love the feuding family scenario.
