This review is from: The Water Baby: Family Man (Harlequin Superromance No. 686) (Paperback)

Temple Wyatt had money, power, hotels, resorts, but none of that mattered. More than anything Temple wanted his little girl back. His ex-wife Miranda kidnaped her and now no one can find them. After months of agonizing and praying for his little girl he sees his daughter Rebecca during a TV interview. Rebecca was on a yacht that exploded killing her mother and her mother's rich friend. Rebecca was flung out to sea and rescued by a shrimper, Daisy Sloan. For some reason Rebecca remembers nothing and says nothing. The only person she allows to comfort her is Daisy. The doctors seem to think that Daisy is the little girl's anchor. Temple is distraught at the senseless act that took his ex-wife's life and could have killed his daughter. Temple is even more distraught that his daughter does not seem to recognize him or anyone else except the strange Miss Sloan. Like it or not Daisy and Temple are stuck with each other for Rebecca's sake. Hopefully they will survive the danger that surrounds them, not to mention surviving each other, long enough to face the attraction that simmers between them.

Interesting and captivating story. I was sucked into the story from beginning to end. In the beginning, however, I was not at all happy about Daisy's attitude regarding Temple's place with his daughter. I realize that everyone was looking at this through Rebecca's emotional state. However, Temple went through Hell and back while his daughter was gone. Than to get her back under such awful circumstances, only to be told that Daisy Sloan was trying to take charge of the child. What if Rebecca never recovered? I would think that it would be in her best interest to have her father in her life. Oh well, that is just my own complaint. The story was well written and deserved all five stars.
