Tara Taylor Quinn began her love affair with Harlequin when she was fourteen years old and picked up a free promotional copy of a Harlequin Romance in a hometown grocery store. The relationship was solidified the year she was suspended from her high school typing class for hiding a Harlequin Romance behind the keys of her electric typewriter. Unaware that her instructor loomed close by, Ms. Quinn read blissfully on with one finger resting on the automatic repeating period key. She finished the book in the principal’s office. Forced to leave her romances in her locker after that, Ms. Quinn’s typing skills improved - a fact for which she is eternally grateful.

The path to finding out what happened to Haley's sister was a long and winding one, and I'm not entirely convinced that all of the the leaps of deduction that Paul and Haley made were 100% reasonable ones. Combine that with how blindingly obvious the baby's location was compared with how long it took Haley and Paul to figure it out, and they somehow ended up seeming like both OTT geniuses and totally clueless at the same time. I'm also not totally convinced that they earned their HEA here--they really did no work on their relationship at all other than having sex; they had no conversations about what went wrong originally and how things will be different now. Babies are not magical fixes...but again, I've read worse.
This book started with action . You don't have to wait to enjoy this mystery. The action doesn't let up either. Everything that happens ends up being a piece of the final puzzle. However the pieces don't fit together until the end. It is a never saw it coming ending. The second chance romance was also well written. The characters are believable and likable too. This is a book that has you reading just one more chapter hoping to get the solution before the end.
