The last thing Lauren McNabb wanted was another child to care for--not after she'd raised her six siblings. The last thing Jack Mason wanted was another woman to come into his daughter's life, then leave. But when Jack showed up to renovate her Yellow Rose Lane apartment with his three-year-old in tow, Lauren fell for little Ally-- and the handsome carpenter. But he didn't want "The Shark," as she was known in legal circles, around his child. Lauren was certainly beautiful, and after years of being alone, he thought kissing her felt like heaven. But could the workaholic attorney go back to her busy career and still be a mother...as well as a wife?

A major disappointment - AMATEURISH WRITING,
This review is from: Mommy For A Minute (Harlequin American Romance # 1173) (Mass Market Paperback)
Although the plot and the main characters are OK, this book reads like the first effort of a college freshman in a creative writing course. VERY VERY amateurish - choppy sentences, boring and inane dialog. Writing should "flow," from one sentence to the next. There was NO flowing in this book. I ended up skimming much of the last 50 pages because the writing was irritating me so much. This is book 3 of a trilogy; the previous 2 books contained better writing; was hard to believe this was the same writer. I also had a problem with the hero - he had this obsessive dislike for female attorneys that is never reasonably explained, and his protective behavior toward his small daughter was fanatical. I kept waiting for some dark secret from the past to be revealed to explain this behavior, but - nothing . . . And his whole demeanor toward the heroine and having sex with her were what I'd expect from your typical selfish 17-yr-old, not a mature man in his 30s. Just didn't ring true at all. He treated her almost like a prostitute, then was actually dumbfounded when she didn't like it. This character just wasn't thought out enough before the writing began. Makes for a very tedious read.

fun tale,
This review is from: Mommy For A Minute (Harlequin American Romance # 1173) (Mass Market Paperback)
Judge Robinson is very satisfied with the work carpenter Jack Mason did for him so he recommends him to his friend attorney Lauren McNabb. However, Jack arrives at the appointment at her Yellow Rose Lane apartment with his three-year-old Allison with him. Although she does not want a child around having raised her six siblings, Lauren hires Jack to fix her cabinets.
In spite of her vow of no more kids, Lauren likes precocious Ally. The tough attorney and the caring carpenter fall in love in spite of his initial animosity towards her as he fears his feelings; Jack refuses to pursue her although kissing her is incredible; he fears she will leave just like Ally's mother did and he will never allow anyone to hurt his daughter again. Jack's reaction formation behavior towards Lauren seems too harsh for her to hire him as she is the customer and does not have to accept crap. Still MOMMY FOR A MINUTE is a fun tale as the two adults with personal vows that if adhered to means no personal relationship can occur yet they fall in love pushed by a matchmaking child.
