This review is from: How to Marry: The World's Best Dad (Harlequin American Romance #816) (Mass Market Paperback)

Valerie Taylor does her usual superb job of portraying children as flawed human beings in this thoughtful novel about a woman who is trying to be a good mother to her adopted daughter without changing her career track or getting distracted by her emotions. When she meets the single father next door, a man who shares her problems if not her childrearing theories, sparks fly not only from the sexual tension but also from their struggles to succeed as single parents. Meddling in-laws, hostile bosses, and loyal friends enter into the mix and make this category romance an intricately satsifying mainstream novel. Terrific book!

This review is from: How to Marry: The World's Best Dad (Harlequin American Romance #816) (Mass Market Paperback)

It is widely known that Harlequin novels portray an unrealistic look on American life as well as American romances. This book is no excuse. I doubt it is common that a drop dead gorgeous person who has the seemingly perfect life would randomly move next to a wealthy 25 year old(who happens to be described as a good business person yet rarely does a person that young get to the top at that age). It is unreastic and like most Harlequin novels:trashy, and cheesy.
Though Worlds best dad is addicting, but it shouldn't be taken seriously(remember romances portrayed in Harlequin are glamorized and make everything seem perfect. There is no such thing as the perfect guy).
