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.

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.

Seriously?! I'm beginning to think there isn't a single thing by Miss St Claire that I don't fall head over heels for! This is a fantastic story! I can't believe how much emotion she packs into these books. I cry, I laugh, the romance is fantastic. But as I always say, my very favorite thing about Roxanne's writing is her ability to create such amazing leading ladies. They are respectable woman that I find myself wanting to be friends with. I loved this story and highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good romance! (And check out the other two in this series, they are just as great!!)
