One of my favorite authors has written one of her best books ever! I was immediately hooked by the unusual set-up--the military dad, the toddler with a mind of her own--and then the sweetly told romance drew me in until I finished this in one setting. Lovely book--read it today.

The story is very cute. But like another said word spacing is off, and it has very poor editing. Why the editing and spacing would be off in the kindle version and not in paperback, is beyond me.

The story is sweet heartfelt and funny at times. I do enjoy the authors style of writing.
I bought this book in kindle pc format. The only con I have is that for some
reason its FULL of broken words. Attempted appears as At tempted. Adolescents appears as ado les cents.
Perhaps it's the format but I noted over a dozen of these & honestly if I bought a paper book typed like that id of returned it.

One of Cathie Linz's best books. Imagine a hard core Marine trying to raise a 3 year old daughter by the Marine Corps training manual! Doesn't that just about say it all? This book is so cute. You won't be able to put it down.

This is the Thorndike Press Large Print Hardcover edition of 'Daddy in Dress Blues' by Cathie Linz, which was originally published in paperback in 2000 as Silhouette Romance #1470.

Description from the book back cover:

OPERATION: Daddy Boot Camp SUBJECT: Three-year-old Blue, the daughter that -- until three days ago -- U.S. Marine Curt Blackwell never knew existed. MISSION: Fatherhood. Bedtime stories. Braiding Hair. Holding Hands. COMPLICATIONS: Preschool teacher Jessie Moore. They had a past, but Curt avoided those waters. Unlike Blue's fear of monsters under the bed, a woman's emotions truly spelled danger. And he was growing defenseless against this woman's warmth and beauty ... MISSION SUCCESS: Uncertain. Curt would survive -- but not necessarily with his heart intact!
