Roxanne St. Claire (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Desire | Publication Date: April 1, 2005

Women usually wanted him for his bank account, his luxury apartment and the looks that landed a corporate lawyer in the style section. But, to Cameron McGrath's shock, Jo Ellen Tremaine wanted him simply to sign a paper.

And grant her custody of a baby distantly related to Cam.

Now, Cam did not want to raise any kid. But his code of honor demanded that he know more about this woman who wanted to mother a McGrath. And that meant moving into her mountain home for one week. But he'd been a fool to believe he could observe Jo...without wanting to touch, to taste, to take. Because only a bigger fool would agree to give away his own blood, no matter the betrayal....

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm, sensual....just a great end to a wonderful series!, May 7, 2005

This review is from: When the Earth Moves (Silhouette Desire No. 1648) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is Cam, Jo and baby Callie's story. Warm and sweet, sexy and I think my favorite. This entire series is one not to be missed. Roxanne has woven three exciting and sensuous tales of three brothers who are afraid to love because their mother deserted them at a young age. Trust a woman, heck no! Lust after them, yes! However, when each meets three beautiful women who challenge them in every way and steal their hearts they're blown away.

In this story, Cam the oldest is approached by Jo with a secret, one hard for Cam to believe. His mother whom he believed did not love him is dead, along with a sister he didn't realize he had. Left behind is a baby, his niece. Jo (a friend of his mother and sister) wants to adopt the baby. As their story enfolds, Cam learns many lessons, one being love.

This is a wonderful and warm story, one I highly recommend.

This review is from: When the Earth Moves (Silhouette Desire No. 1648) (Mass Market Paperback)

Corporate lawyer Cameron McGrath lives with the knowledge of his mother walking out on him and his two brothers when he was just a child. A confirmed bachelor and devoted Yankees fan, his world is rocked by a sexy automobile collision specialist. Jo Ellen Tremaine wants Cameron to sign over his custody to the niece he never knew existed. But she comes with more than just a piece of paper, she arrives with information about his mother, and the news will rock both of their worlds.

Although it took me a bit to get into this book, I really loved these two characters. Sparks fly from their initial meeting, and both characters have to compromise. Jo takes no prisoners, and I loved her non-traditional (for romances) profession. She's supportive and loving, yet stands up for her own ways. Cameron's desire to get to know Jo, and the baby, more is admirable, and the way he puts aside pasts hurts to learn the truth about his mother laudable. Both these stubborn individuals have to grow and compromise, and their journey makes for a very interesting read.

Roxanne St. Claire did it again with the third, tie-up, in her McGrath Brothers triology...sewing things up in a well-defined way. This book has good tension, strong conflict and a wonderful happy ending that is not only realistic, but ties up the three books into a happily ever after that provides a satisfying ending to the reader. Good job! Can't wait to read more from this author.
