No Ties (Kids & Kisses) (Harlequin Romance, No 3344)

Rating:
Summary: You'll need a bib for this piece of chin-slobber.
Review: While not on a par with Rosemary Rogers' classic Sweet Savage Love, No Ties struggles valliantly to give you characters almost as insipid. It has all the elements -- the young, redheaded virgin who thinks she knows everything; the dark, brooding older man with the manners of a drunken ape; and the requisite undertones of tragedy (the heroine is an orphan). Gibson, in keeping with the series' theme of "kids and kisses," gives the hero custody of his orphaned nephew, a one-dimensional child of requisite pathos and cuteness. The only thing missing is a plot. At least Sweet Savage Love had that.
