3.0 out of 5 stars Light, easy read with heart but no depth., February 24, 2010

This review is from: Full-Time Father (Mass Market Paperback)

This novel seems to cover a lot of ground without getting in too deep. The most interesting characters are not the romantic leads but a middle-aged housekeeper and a 4 year old girl. We know all these facts about the main characters but it never really builds a 3 dimensional picture of them. It's still a fun, romantic read even without the depth and with the predictability.

My greatest criticism is for the portrayal of the male romantic lead. I understand that guilt was his driving force but it was an illogical, self-indulgent type that made him seem very self centred. It's a trait in male romantic leads that bothers me and is used too frequently by Romance authors. It's almost narcissistic which is a personality trait that very rarely seems to go away in real life.

The audio copy I listened to was narrated by Daisy Wheeler who was a very good choice. Her vocal characterisations of Kiki the housekeeper and Christie the 4 year-old girl were inspired.

This review is from: Full-Time Father (Mass Market Paperback)

I have this book in it's original Silhouette version. It is on my "KEEPER" shelf. I am considering buying the newer and possibly updated version to KEEP. Mallery is a writer that keeps you engrossed in her books...you can't put them down.
Lighthearted..Sexy...Suspense in some of them, but, this is the book that got me hooked on reading her books.

This review is from: Full Time Father (Hometown Heartbreakers) (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)

This story deals with two people who have to make serious and uncomfortable decisions. A father who doesn't know he's a father. A mother who decides to let the father know, and a little girl who helps it all along with only her own feelings to go by. It's a charming story about some very nice people.
