Summary: Father doesn't know best
Review: The beginning of the book is interesting and promising. And then it falls apart. The main actors are not believable and fall out of character. Nothing in Charlie's previous life indicates that he will turn into a clutz and go ape about a baby that may not even be his. Nobody halfway sober would sign the kind of agreement he did. And Lacy, that superwoman with a 17-year old daughter, completely negates her baby.Life is not like this, and no humor or satire will make it so. I guess even the author realised this when she tried to straighten it out on the last pages.

Summary: Easy reading
Review: This is an enjoyable book that is easy to read and relatively funny along the way, but the ending could have been dealt with better. This is a fun and light book to read if you have nothing better to do on a Sunday, but I certainly won't be running to the bookstore when this author publishes another book.

Summary: Great romantic story!

Summary: Dropping the ball
Review: This was a great book, if you count the ending. The characters are funny, and the style is pretty good if you don't count the stunted switches between narrators. The plot was definitely interesting enough to keep me, but the ending leaves much to be desired. In fact, half of this book bugs me to no end, and despite them being pretty decent characters, what they agree to will make you furious. However, knowing that romance novels generally have happy endings, I persevered and was disappointed when Judy Markey completely dropped the ball. In the very last seconds of the book, she patched up everything with minimal cohesiveness. In other words, I couldn't imagine the characters doing what they ended up doing. Without a more drawn out ending, this book is not worth the time.Read it (or listen to the cassette) if you have little else to do, but you're better off with a more stable romance novelist like Jayne Ann Krentz or going and renting yourself a romantic comedy.

Summary: Nice book to spend a late evening or weekend with.
Review: Very enjoyable and light ; the kind of book I wish there were more of just for a little enjoyment away from all the deep thoughts we have to indulge today. These characters became my friends as I read. I can't wait for Judy's next book and hope it will be just as enjoyable. Also hope she is working on a third novel.
