I'll not repeat the story outline that has been given by the previous reviewer.

However, I'll comment that I only gave this two stars, due to the fact that we have had the financially poor pregnant or single parent female that was jilted or abandon by the "rich irresponsible" brother to only be rescued or fall in love with the "responsible rich" brother/cousin etc. This is the new millennium and we still have books written and published that would work well in an OLD pre-1990's regency romance (and I still think they do it better!)

I can then understand the frustration of the previous reviewer with the attitude of the Heroine, it's just not consistant with the modern era.

In fact to be trueful with the exception of the Jerry Springer and Rikki Lake shows, there is no one I know that has gone from one sibling to another!!! But hey (what do I know) this seams to sell well in today's romances or they (the brother/cousing/twins etc) share the heroine.

Lucy Velardi got jilted by Kenny Tarkington because she was having his baby. She falls for his line that the summer house needs a housesitter. Well, she is set for the next 9 months.

Now because of her mother, who depended on the boyfriend of the month, and Kenny, she will not trust or depend on any man.

Conner Tarkington shows up and is a workaholic [for many reasons]but even with his hang-ups he shows gentleness and compassion with Lucy and Emma. His hang-ups and hers I can understand but then why does she hop into bed with Connor? I hate these confused, messed up women. They got no guts!

Kenny has turned out to be a "scumbag" [Lucy's words, not mine]
Momma poses a threat to Emma. Connor is still in an emotional darkness and Lucy slowly leads him into the light.

I did thoroughly enjoy the story even though I think the morality is smurky and confirms my distaste for women in general [hey, there are a few good ones out there] Ah, well ---- do love the cover guy - him I could picture in the story.

Definitely recommend --M Try it you will like it.
