USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, Lisa Mondello, has held many jobs in her life but being a published authors is the last job she'll ever have. She's not retiring! She blames the creation of the personal computer for her leap into writing novels. Otherwise, she'd still be penning stories with paper and pen. Her first book, All I Want for Christmas is You won Best First Book in the Golden Quill. Her books have finaled in the HOLT Medallion, and the Colorado Award of Excellence contests. In 2011 she re-released her award winning book All I Want for Christmas is You along with a re-issue of her romantic comedy, The Marriage Contract, with a new contemporary romance called The Knight and Maggie's Baby. In 2012 she reissued the first 3 books of her popular Western Romance Series TEXAS HEARTS including Her Heart for the Asking, His Heart for the Trusting and
In this book, Sonny is trying to get out of Columbia with her baby niece who she had to kidnap from a bad guy who kidnapped her from her mother (you just have to read the first story to really understand). But when she tires to board a plane, Gil, who is a bounty hunter searching for Cash, her brother, detains her. My heart actually went out to the woman and baby at the thought of what a bummer this turn of events went.
When Gil is finally able to reunite Sonny with her father, there is an interesting "meeting" between Daddy and Gil that takes place (we'll call it a come to Jesus meeting).
The romance is a bit stiff and poorly developed. The action was pretty strong throughout the book.
In her letter concluding the book, the author mentioned that she was working on Cash's story, but I've checked her book list and apparently she never published it, which is sad since there were a lot of loose ends at the end of the book - hence only giving three stars...
This storyline was okay. It was nice book to read to see what happens to baby Ellie. I wish this book was suspenseful like the first one. All I Want For Christmas Is You is still my favorite book by this author.
