From Publishers Weekly
Brown (Legally Blonde) has come up with another winning premise. Becca Reinhart, a scrappy, self-made 31-year-old workaholic on Wall Street's fast track, loves her job and has no interest in snagging a husband. Edward Kirkland, a genteel, good-natured bachelor in his mid-30s, is content to handle the family's philanthropies and don a tux to dine for a good cause most evenings. He is expected to marry Bunny Stirrup, daughter of neighbors in the Hamptons, but is in no hurry to do so. Becca and Edward are thrust together when they become the co-guardians of Emily Stearns, a four-year-old suddenly orphaned by the death of both parents. Emily's mother had been Becca's best friend, and her father Edward's. Precocious Emily, heir to a fortune, desperately needs love and attention. Becca gives up business meetings in Paris and Stockholm to see that Emily is accepted into the right nursery school. Edward gives up his treasured "irresponsible solitude," as well as his regular squash game, to play hide and seek. The less-than-maternal Bunny, threatened by Becca and the change in Edward's lifestyle, connives with his mother to hasten their nuptials, going so far as to engage a wedding coordinator and place an announcement in the Sunday Times. Edward is bewildered, but he's too much of a dutiful son to call a halt-even though lately he finds himself wondering what it would be like to kiss Becca. The hasty and contrived climax defies credibility, but this featherlight charmer makes a perfect beach read.

Ah, the lives of the rich . . . New Yorkers Edward Kirkland (family money) and Becca Reinhart (self-made venture capitalist) enjoy the good life, though Becca's work means she hardly has a life, and Edward's aim is to date as many beautiful women as possible while improving his squash game. When they become co-guardians of Emily, the 4-year-old daughter of friends killed in a plane crash, they find their lives changing. But this is not the way Edward's mother and his childhood friend, Bunny, have it planned. Kathe Mazur, who reads with style and humor, has a light touch that is perfect for this story. She captures all the characters, including Emily (children always being a challenge for narrators). Becca's straightforward yet warm manner and Edward's unpretentious humor are woven into Mazur's narration, and she conveys the love both develop for Emily without sentimentality. Even the ending seems more credible, given Mazur's emotional style. M.A.M. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
