A Time to Give is about revenge and love, about two people and their plans, and how love can change those plans. It was intensely emotional when the goals conflict with love, and the suspense builds quite naturally, as you were not certain about a certain character's motivations...
Ben Cassidy had been on top of his world, having taken his father's company to the peak of its field, only to lose it when his patent was delayed and a loan came due. For almost two years, he made weekly trips to this soup kitchen he had founded in honor of his father, just as a reminder he did some good in the world. At the soup kitchen, he met Emily, a volunteer there. Emily wanted to draw Ben out of his shell, until one night, she gave him a ride home, and they ended up in bed making passionate love. Next morning, Ben was angry and devastated to find that Emily was the daughter of the vulture capitalist that stole his company (she used her ex's surname) and he believed she was out to sabotage him in some way, when she wasn't even sure about his surname. When Ben found out that unethical tactics were used to steal the company from under him, he blackmailed Emily's dad into selling him back his own company for the same price, THEN dropped the bombshell on them... Emily is pregnant with his child, and they are getting married ASAP. But is this marriage just for the baby's sake? Or for revenge?
Normally in a revenge tale the story ends when the status quo was restored and karma satisfied, but this book did not end there. And I can't say more without spoiling stuff. This book is as much family drama as it is revenge tale and love story, and the complex tapestry made the book enjoyable
