Sherryl Woods (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2000 | Series: Special Edition, 1309

Private detective Dylan Delacourt had only to look into baby doctor Kelsey James's beautiful green eyes to know he'd move heaven and earth to find her kidnapped son. But having lost his own son to his ex-wife, Dylan had a particular distrust of single mothers. Especially when, despite their increasing attraction, Kelsey seemed to be withholding crucial information....

But learning the truth of her secret and revealing his own buried anguish gave Dylan new hope. Suddenly, whatever risks he had to take seemed worthwhile, for he might find not only Kelsey's son and his own--but the love of a lifetime, as well.

More About the Author

With her roots firmly planted in the South, Sherryl Woods has written many of her more than 100 books in that distinctive setting, whether her home state of Virginia, her adopted state, Florida, or her much-adored South Carolina. She's also especially partial to small towns wherever they may be. In Amazing Gracie, as in her later Trinity Harbor series, Woods creates a fictional version of the town where she spends summers on the shores of the Potomac River. "This town just lends itself to fascinating characters and a charming locale," she says.

A member of Novelists Inc., Sisters in Crime and Romance Writers of America, Sherryl divides her time between her childhood summer home overlooking the Potomac River in Colonial Beach, Virginia, and her oceanfront home with its lighthouse view, in Key Biscayne, Florida. "Wherever I am, if there's no water in sight, I get a little antsy," she says.

Sherryl also loves hearing from readers. You can join her at her blog, www.justbetweenfriendsblog.com, visit her Web site at www.sherrylwoods.com or contact her directly at [e-mail].

This review is from: Dylan And The Baby Doctor (And Baby Makes Three: The Delacourts Of Texas) (Special Edition, 1309) (Paperback)

After her husband nearly ruins her life and career with his addiction to painkillers, Dr. Kelsey James gets a divorce and moves to Los Pinos, Texas with her son, Bobby. There, she helps Lizzy Adams-Robbins run the local clinic, and tries to rebuild her life. Then Bobby is kidnapped and Kelsey is desperate to find him before it's too late.

Private Investigator, Dylan Delacourt is called in to help search for the three year-old. Dylan suspects that Kelsey isn't telling all the information she knows. Since he lost his own son to his ex-wife when they divorced, he finds it difficult to trust Kelsey. But they will need to learn to trust each other with their secrets before they will be able to find Bobby.

Sherryl Woods always gives you something to smile about and warm your heart when reading her books and this series within a series is no different.

Dylan and the Baby Doctor by Sherryl Woods
Silhouette Special Edition # 1309 - March 2000
Book # 14 of the 18 book series "And Baby Makes Three"

Kelsey moved to Texas to get her and her son far away from her ex-husband and to start over. Now as a Pediatrician, she runs her own clinic with her best friend and partner. In recent years, Dylan's been feeling regret at giving up visitation rights to his son. At the time of his divorce it seemed like the best thing for the boy. Now while visiting his sister, Dylan's called to help out in a local kidnapping. When he meets Kelsey, he's instantly drawn to her, but when he learns that she had sole custody of her son, he can't help feeling sympathy for the boys father who has taken him.

Although this story is part of a very long series, it does stand on it's own. Ms. Woods did a great job of getting me to feel what her characters were feeling. Kelsey's anguish and fear for her missing son, and her struggle with her growing attraction to Dylan. Dylan's doubts on if he can be unbiased, and his strong sense of duty. All are great characters. The plot is well done, with some very tense moments. Sadly, because of the kidnapping suspense the romance was more tender than I'm used to in a Special Edition. However, perhaps Ms. Woods felt that best because of the seriousness of a missing child. All in all a very pleasurable read!
