Adeline Johnson was prepared to do almost anything to retain custody of her four-year-old niece--even look for a husband! Grateful to Hannah Harris for lining her up with the town's most "eligible" men, Addy became increasingly frustrated when Hannah's overbearing grandson, Sam Dawson, sabotaged every date!
Sam's calculating mind at first believed that Addy was trying to take advantage of his grandmother. Then another more worrying thought hit him: could he be part of Hannah's matchmaking plans? Addy's attractions were undeniably tempting, but he had no intention of becoming a dad.
Barbara Blackman was under the pseudonym Jeanne Allan, the author of 25 romance novels for Harlequin. On the cover of her first novel, Peter's Sister, her surname was misspelled as "Allen".
Okay for those of you keeping track, yes I've been singing Jeanne Allan's praises but this one just....missed the mark. I'll answer the following questions
Q1. Is it funny? A: Yes, it is.
Q2. Is the story original? A: Well....no. The plot is one which has been played out multiple (read 100s) of times before.
Q3. What's the problem? A: It feels like the story goes on in a loop. It's still funny, but the way it starts you feel like it's going to go one way and that'll be it but then it keeps going back on the starting point and starting over so for me it got to be a tad...irritating.
Q4. Who might like it? A: Well, anyone who enjoys super-romances. That's cuz although the story's just 180 pages long, the font is small and because of that it feels quite bulky (when maybe it isn't).
P.S The guy on the cover looks like hunk-material so that's in its favour. Also, he's a chemist so that made for a nice change.
