Summary: Quick, Fun Read!
Review: I read this book in one afternoon! I just love stories that have saucy women and knuckle-headed guys and this book fits the bill. Throw in a couple of brothers and a meddling father and I'm sure you'll enjoy the read as much as I did. Oh yeah; there's some neckin' in there if you like that, too. Four thumbs up!

Summary: Entertaining Read
Review: In the small town of Trinity Harbor, Virginia, Daisy Spencer has decided to take in Tommy Flanagan, an orphaned ten-year-old. Though Tucker, Daisy's brother and the town sheriff, sees Tommy trying to steal some of Daisy's jewelry, she wants Tommy anyway. Because Tommy's mother has just died, and he has nowhere to go, Daisy wants him to live with her as long as possible. Enter Walker Ames, the D.C. cop who is the uncle that didn't even know that he had a nephew. Having lost contact with his sister, Tommy's mother, years before, Walker is surprised when the social worker calls him about Tommy. More than that, Walker has no idea whether he would make a good father to Tommy considering that his own marriage ended in divorce, and his wife moved away with his sons. Though Daisy is attracted to Walker, she is terrified that he will take Tommy away from her and end her hopes of ever having a child of her own. Walker is equally attracted to Daisy but is reluctant to act on that attraction for fear that a complicated situation will become even more complex. Walker believes that he would never be content in Trinity Harbor, and the ninety-mile drive from there to D.C. would be too much to make on a daily basis. What type of relationship will Walker and Daisy have, and how will Tommy fit into their lives? Sherryl Woods has provided readers with a hearwarmingly tender novel. The manner in which patriarch King Spencer interferes in his daughter's life, much to her dismay, adds a touch of humor to this read full of complex characters. Daisy's brothers are wonderful, very much men's men but clearly over-protective of their sister. Anna-Louise, as the town's minister, adds a reality-check when events in Daisy's life get really out of kilter. One can hardly wait to see who will snare the heart of Daisy's brother Bobby in the next installment in this series.

Summary: A delightful read
Review: In Trinity Harbor, Virginia, no one, not her father nor her brothers, or even the townsfolk, can believe that spinster Sunday school teacher Daisy Spencer would take the miscreant into her home. However, no one takes the time to understand that Daisy needs ten-year-old Tommy Flanagan to love as a mother even if the lad tried to steal her car. Perhaps if they knew how she learned over a decade ago that she could not have children that, in turn, ended her relationship with her beau Billy Inscoe, they would better understand her. Her father King and her two brothers find a relative of Tommy's, DC police officer Walker Ames, who they demand take the urchin away before he steals more than just some loot from Daisy. However, when Daisy and Walker meet, an attraction immediately springs up between them. Still, both have demons from their respective pasts that make a permanent relationship seem impossible. Though the story line follows romance textbook guidelines, the characters are very deep, which in turn provides freshness to a plot that could have been insipid. The lead couple is three-dimensional and very likeable. Their interrelationships with one another, with Tommy, and with her family make Sherryl Woods' contemporary romance fun to read.

Summary: Hot summer romance in a small southern town.
Review: No one does southern romances quite like Sherryl Woods and ABOUT THAT MAN is simply delightful. When Daisy Spencer catches newly-orphaned Tommy Flanagan trying to hot-wire her car, she decides that he needs someone to love him as much as she needs a child to love. So she moves him into her house and keeps him. However, keeping Tommy as her own soon develops complications for Tommy has an uncle, Walker Ames, and one look at the handsome cop has Daisy's heart palpitating. Walker feels the same but he's been burnt once at love and he's wary. Watching Daisy and Walker dance around each other while struggling to deal with Tommy, Daisy's interfering father, and her two brothers, is pure enjoyment. Don't miss this novel - it's terrific.

Summary: First in a great new series!
Review: One of the perks about this book is that we're going to see the characters again. And they are certainly worth visiting again and again. There's Daisy, who is the focus of this book. She takes in an orphan she finds hotwiring her car. But an uncle is found in Washington, D.C. (A Yankee!!) and her hopes of adopting him are in doubt. Add 2 overprotective brothers and then best of all, Daisy's father, King (whose nickname should give you a clue) and you have a fun read. If you like Nora Roberts, you will also like Sherryl Woods and this new series.

Summary: Scandalous behavior! -- Highly recommended
Review: Robert King Spencer runs the small town of Trinity Harbor, including the lives of his children. So when thirty-year-old Daisy finally stands up to not only her father, but also the town busybodies, she throws the entire town in an uproar. As protestors come out of the woodwork to complain of her behavior, Daisy's scandalous decisions only increase. First she takes in a ten-year-old boy pegged as a juvenile delinquent, then she also becomes involved with the boy's uncle. These decisions just don't fit the town's concept of their Daisy who's a Sunday school teacher, a high school teacher, and a community leader. Tommy was trying to hot-wire her car when Daisy discovered him in the garage. His father died several years ago in a motorcycle accident, and his mother has recently died of pneumonia. While the local social worker busily locates his remaining family, Daisy takes the boy in, believing that she's destined to mother the boy. Indeed, Daisy believes that fate has intervened, since she can't have children of her own. Unfortunately, fate tends to play cruel tricks; in this case, producing an uncle that didn't even know that he has a nephew. Now she'll have to handle "that man" if she wants to make her dreams come true. But she'd best watch her heart as well. Once again Sherryl Woods delivers a delightful read with ABOUT THAT MAN. Small towns, busybodies, and kids in trouble combine to create perfect reading at the poolside. While the plot follows traditional romantic formula, the depth of characterization gives ABOUT THAT MAN freshness that will leave readers eager for the next two installments of this trilogy. Highly recommended.
