Great Book

Jake Manning is a sucessful man running his own business. It seems that he has everything good car, nice home, lots of money, but what he really wants is a baby.That is where Harley Emerson comes in. She is a machanic with a record (she didnt do it) and just got fired from her job, and has no where to go. Jake strikes a deal-they get married and have a baby and afterward Harley is free to leave him and their baby. What happens next-you have to read to find out. I found this book to be very interesting. THe characters are intreging and the plot is very exciting. I would recogmend this to any romance fan!

EXCELLENT - HEARTRENDING - LOVABLE!

Boy am I glad I don't have to agree with some reviewers [grin].Cover is an excellent match with the story.Jake Manning and Harley Emerson are ideal leads for a different marriage of convenience. I thought it was neat that she insisted on a legal marriage and conception the "natural way", no illegitimate child for her.It was humorous that Duffy, at 25 wanted to protected his brother who was 35 but it wasn't hard to understand his reasoning. Their sister, Mel with her husband, Peter and their adorable twins, Grace and Hope was a bit more mellow.Harley was sure getting a crash course in child care one night. I felt a bit sorry for her in learning what she had gone through in her young life but she came through with flying colors. Yeah! for Charlie. He gave Jake a couple of moments of unease.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - great story to enjoy - maybe even a second time.

An Exceptional Heroine

Jake Manning has raised his younger siblings and now finds he wants a child of his own ... without the customary wife.Ex-con and mechanic Harley Emerson meets Jake's baby plan qualifications, plus she's without a job and desperate to get herself through college. Jake can provide the money; all Harley has to do is agree to have his baby. Living with Jake is harder than anything Harley's had to do. How can she walk away from her child and the nicest guy she's ever met?An ideal marriage it is not, but beguiling Harley proves too enchanting for Jake, and soon, he's not sure he can let her go.Susan Gable's story is warm and charming, the writing fluid and engaging, but it's her characters who are outstanding. Highly recommended.
