“The Trouble With
Caasi.” In downtown Portland, the CEO of
the Empress Hotel Caasi
Crane is stunned when her incredibly competent general manager Blake Sherrill
resigns just a few months after a generous raise. At their meeting just after she read his
stunning resignation letter, Blake cynically informs her he has no job other
offer and he finally got her attention as he prepares to depart. As Caasi begins to learn about Blake’s
non-hotel life after eight years in close proximity, she also realizes why she
is miserable since he quit and that has nothing to do with work especially
after he kisses her. She loves this man
about to hike out of her life.
“Reflections of
Yesterday.” A dozen years ago in Groves Point,
South Carolina, teenagers Simon Canfield and Angie Robinson were in love. However, his affluent family bribed her
father to leave town with his daughter.
Angie refused until she saw Simon with someone from his upper class. Knowing she is not his social equal, Angie
and her family leave town with the Canfield money. Almost thirty, Angie owns a successful
florist, but feels a deep need to pay back the blood money. Back in Groves Point, Angie and Simon see one
another for the first time since they were seventeen. Each realizes their love remains as strong as
ever, but he acrimoniously rejects her overtures as her betrayal has hardened
his heart.
These
mid 1980s reprints are pleasant last chance contemporary romances. The Trouble With Caasi is refreshing as the lead
female is clueless re non business male relationships; while engaging Reflections of Yesterday is
typical of the subgenre.
