In search of her niece

Following the death of her little sister, Christina, Rachel Montgomery is determined to find her sister's child and to care for her. Besieged with guilt because of her inaccessibility to Christina, Rachel is not only trying to make amends, she is also trying to locate and hold on to the last part of her sister. But Rachel knows she needs help and it comes in the form of Jack Henderson, a California-based detective who has been called in by his sister to locate the missing baby. Having come from a broken family himself, Jack helps Rachel deal with her guilt and feelings of inadequacy when it comes to how she could have helped Christina. In Jack, Rachel finds a steady, intelligent, and attractive man who has painful secrets of his own. Pat Warren has written a fluid story about two people who share a common family background but who have dealt with it in different ways. The title of the story is misleading because although the quest to find the baby is what brings Jack and Rachel together, it never develops into a full-fledged search. Instead, Warren focuses on Jack and Rachel and how they help each other deal with their pasts and whether or not they will be able to have a future together. Both Jack and Rachel are strongly drawn characters and the book doesn't falter when it comes to their relationship. I was a bit disappointed, however, when the search for the baby wasn't spun out better. Instead, it seemed to be used merely as an inadequate plot device since this story does well just the way it is.

Avid Romance Reader Loves "The Baby Quest"

This entire Montana Maverick Series is the best. I read Silhouette books all the time and am glad to see they are continuing a series of romance books over a period of time. The Baby Quest is a wonderfully written book!! 5 Stars!
