A Daughter’s Legacy” by Virginia Smith


Review #119

Accountant, Kelli Jackson’s estranged mother, Lillian, has died. After the funeral service, Kelli discovers that her mother has put an unusual requirement in her will. Lillian was Director of the Cougar Bay Zoological Park and if Kelli works with the animals in the zoo for six months, she will inherit half of $1.4 million. (The Zoo receives the other half.) If she refuses, Kelli will receive $25,000 and nothing else. If she fails to receive a positive report from Jason Andover, the handsome zoo director who is replacing her mom, then her inheritance will be given to the Zoo to help build a new African Lion Habitat. The major problem with this requirement is that Kelli is terrified of animals due to an event early in her childhood!

At first she refuses, but decides she needs to do this for her grandmother who will need the money as she ages. But, how can she possibly explain her fears and her past to her boss, Jason Andover? How can she trust him? After all, if she fails, the Zoo will get all the money!

I am not, presently, a fan of romance novels, but I liked this book! It is not only interesting and well written, but it's educational too! If you like animals and romance, you will enjoy this book!
