Book Description

Publication Date: March 11, 2008 | Series: Harlequin American Romance (Book 1203)

Is Instant Motherhood In Her Future?

As Joyous, Tennessee's only female mechanic, Ronnie Carter is more used to fixing carburetors than dressing for a date. So when Jason McDeere asks her out, she's thrown into a panic! Not only is the handsome high school teacher Ronnie's secret crush, he's the single father of an adorable toddler...who wants a mommy.

A tomboy in overalls isn't the role model Jason had in mind for his young daughter. But the better he gets to know her, the more he's convinced that Ronnie's exactly what he's looking for. He has no doubt she'd make the ideal mother for Emily. But is he the perfect family man...for her?

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely delightful!, March 9, 2008

Ronnie Carter has had a crush on Jason McDeere almost from the second he moved to Joyous, TN. Jason, however, is interested in raising his toddler daughter and in fending off the onslaught of single ladies in town who insist he needs a woman. It's only when the principal at the school where Jason teaches tells him that he WILL bring a date to the school's annual spring dance, that he impulsively asks Ronnie to go with him.

Their romance takes off in high gear -- so fast that Ronnie begins to have doubts that she'll make a good mom to Jason's daughter. Ronnie's mom died when Ronnie was twelve and she's been surrounded by well-meaning, over-protective brothers. She's not sure she's really equipped to be an instant mother.

Things come to a head when Jason's ex-wife re-enters the picture. Isobel wants to spend time with her daughter and Ronnie wonders if Jason wants to get back with his ex-wife to become the family he has longed for.

With her wonderful gift for spinning a terrific yarn, Tanya Michaels has written another great book. This one isn't quite the formulaic "boy meets girl/boy and girl dance around each other/everyone ends up happily ever after" story. Tanya has inserted a great twist to the plot that kept me wondering just HOW she was going to manage to make it all work out. Trust me, it was DEFINITELY worth the read!

This is a book that I'm going to recommend to friends because it's just a great, fun read. Tanya's books have never disappointed before and she's outdone herself again. Really good, really fun!

Ronnie likes Jason, but can she like his daughter? After all, Ronnie knows nothing about kids. And when Jason's ex steps back into the picture, she's even more confused. Can an unlikely mommy find a place in Jason's heart...and family?

Heartwarming!
