The Two of Us Anthology
By Maisey Yates
Kensington Books - March 2025
Contemporary Romance
The Two Of Us Anthology consists of two stories, each stands on its own, although they both involve rescue animals. They are The Odd Couple by Lori Foster and Force of Nature by Maisey Yates. Do note that the characters in Ms Foster's story are tied to two of her series.
Remington Lane lived his life how he wanted. It was just him, and his ranch. He wanted to live a better life than his parents, but to be honest, that wasn’t difficult. He didn't need anyone, but was willing to do about anything for the Clay family. He had been best friends with the son, so had spent time there. Then later, it had become home. They had become the family he had needed when his own was a disaster.
Lydia Clay had been the typical annoying younger sister, although she had been soft hearted, always absorbed with rescuing animals. Even now, Lydia had shown up at his ranch, with a neglected dog that she wanted him to take in. She couldn't do it, the large menagerie of animals she called pets wasn't interested in an addition to the household. He didn't want to either, but he couldn't say no to helping the dog his father had mistreated.
So he had begrudgingly agreed. Then he agreed to more. And then he realized that perhaps it was more than appreciation of the Clay family that made him want to say yes to Lydia.
Force of Nature is a romance of healing. In trying to separate himself from his parents, Remy had essentially cut himself off from life. Lydia was a definite force of nature, and she needed to be to shake things up for him. There is quite a bit of baggage Remy needs to deal with, but luckily he has a strong family, by choice, to help him.
