About the author

I grew up in a household with two brothers, a daddy, and my grandfather. Too many men, in other words. They diluted M'ma's influence by diverting my attention to things like the danger of answering nature's call in the dead of the night. I've got a hint for those of you raised in a less spit-and-scratch world: check before you sit, because chances are that seat is gonna be up. And they don't even have the grace to be embarrassed about it. According to my sweet baby boy, if you're the minority sex in the household, you oughtta be putting it up for them. Sigh.

Having brothers was a mixed bag. When anybody messed with me they were always quick with an offer to beat them up. That was sorta nice, although I personally believe it had more to do with the fact that guys just like to fight than with any towering concern for my welfare. You might think that's cynical but guess who the target was if no one else was around and they were tired of fighting each other? I must've spent half my childhood locked in the bathroom, screaming, "Dad's gonna get you when he gets home." I know, I know, nobody likes a stoolie. But it was either that or have my block knocked off on a regular basis, and trust me, Daddy was the best deterrent going.

A smart woman probably would've gone away to an all-girl school or moved in with some girlfriends at the first opportunity. Me, I got married to my high school sweetie. And the tradition continues. Our only kid (who hasn't been a kid for quite some time now) is the aforementioned sweet baby boy, and except for an Irish setter we had for eleven years a long time ago, even our pets have all been male. I just try to stay afloat whenever I find myself in the deep end of the testosterone pool, and if you don't think that isn't a trial sometimes, I'm here to tell you- it can be hell.

Then again, it can also be heaven. In fact, it mostly is. But listen, don't tell my guys I 'fessed up to that, okay? Trust me, it's difficult enough already, just trying to stay one step ahead of the game.

Baby, I'm Yours is so much fun. The whole time I just had this huge grin on my face, because it was just so sweet and entertaining and funny. I'd stumble across some gems (you can see some of them in my status updates) and it would completely throw me off because usually the situation would be described in a more serious tone. But Andersen didn't hold back from keeping things light even then and I appreciated it. I missed some levity in my books. *glares at Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling*

The heroine is a such a pain in the ass and I had a blast watching her get the best of the hero. Someone else's annoyance is always funnier. Of course, Sam always paid his debts, so the scales were even between them.

I hated the epilogue, though. So very sweet it made me gag. Honestly, I could've rated this book higher and lived perfectly happy if it weren't for that epilogue.

So, expect a strong heroine and a strong hero on equal footing, a lot of trouble along the way, (un)intentional cracks that'll make you laugh out loud and a bit suspense to spice things up a bit.

Bounty hunter Sam McKade always gets his man....errr woman. So when he sees Kaylee MacPherson leaving Florida and breaking her bond agreement he is immediately in hot pursuit. He follows her to Seattle where he nabs her...well he nabs Catherine, her identical twin sister.

As they wend their way back to Florida, he refuses to believe Catherine's protestations that he has the wrong twin and she does everything in her power to make the trip as expensive and unpleasant as possible.



So nothing all that original but it was kind of cool, pretty damned funny and well on its way to 4 Stars until...

"pert beige nipple—cleft—her nipple distended—preferred morsel—beaded peak—downey mound—slippery pearl—hugging sheaf—hot wet velvet glove—magic button—blew sky high like the grand finale of the pyrotechnics of America convention—came in scolding pulsations"

...yes, until they had sex. That section was like a master-class in clichéd euphemisms for sexy bits.

IM: OK, that was awkward but it wasn't a total write-off....was it???

Actually, yeah it kind of was. The first half was so much fun that I went right ahead and bought the next two in the series. The second half was so bad that I'm thinking I probably won't read them.

I still might have given it three stars if Catherine didn't demand that Sam kill a spider that was sitting in the woods minding it's own business...and not only did he kill it, he "stomped it into paste". Hey I'm scared of spiders too, but seriously killing for no other reason than it's there....not cool.

I like Susan Andersen but I think I would never be a die-hard fan of her works. Baby, I'm Yours is an okay read. It's fun and light but I'm not that sold to the story.

Otra autora que descubro y que añado a mi lista y es que Susan Andersen tiene una facilidad increíble para narrar manera tal que parece que estés viendo una película, una comedia de romance actual. Todo sucede con facilidad y la lectura se hace ágil y amena. La historia tiene mucha chispa, es divertida, loca en ocasiones y con escenas muy sensuales, así que ya tenemos los ingredientes perfectos para tenernos bien entretenidos.
La historia no es nada novedosa una joven bailarina - Kaylee McPherson- descubre a su jefe hablando sobre un asesinato así que huye a casa de su hermana gemela - Catherine McPherson -. Casualmente la primera también es buscada por un cazarrecompensas - Sam McKade- que la confunde con su otra hermana y así tenemos los componentes para una historia muy alocada.
Los personajes para mí han estado muy bien tratados, no solo se centra en la pareja protagonista Catherine y Sam, sino que también intercala la de Kaylee y Bobby LaBon y creo que es bueno porque no nos cansamos, nos mantiene a la expectativa por lo menos entre capítulo y capítulo. Los personajes principales han sido lo mejor claro está, porque transmiten mucha química y eso se agradece, más en una historia de este tipo que puede llevar a que sea un bodrio, que en este caso no lo ha sido. Así que tengo que darle la máxima puntuación aunque no sea una novela novedosa pero si es entretenida a más no poder y nos saca una sonrisa, así pues tiene mi máxima puntuación.

What’s not to like when a rugged bad-tempered bounty hunter grabs the wrong twin (the upstanding and prosaic teacher instead of the show girl sister) and then lugs the uncooperative baggage across the country from Seattle to Florida - in a bus. Throw in the sister’s complementary romance and a coupla bad guys, and you have an entertaining, funny and sexy read.

The ‘bounty boy’ meets his match in the ‘stacked redhead’ who throws as many spanners as possible in his travel plans, to slow him down. While the H gets grumpier (duty battles hormones!) as the greyhound rolls on, the h relaxes and becomes more amenable, realizing that this unplanned holiday with her sexy captor was perhaps not such a bad thing at all.

She longed to smack him, to get away from him. To kiss him silly, yank down his pants, and climb onto his lap. Moaning, she bent forward and rested her forehead on her bare knees.
'Oh, please, this is too pitiful. Can’t you find a better place to have an identity crisis than sitting in a bathroom stall with your undies down around your ankles?'

They are chased by the sister and her BF, ostensibly to rescue her while working out the kinks in their own relationship. Of course the rear is brought up the bad guy's henchman.

Now the problem is the book's length and the heavy dose of the sister’s story. Although the sister and her BF did grow on me slowly as the book went on. And then the showgirl had some simple yet savvy takes on life. Sample-

Guys are a lot like kitchen floors—lay ’em right the first time and you can walk all over them for years.

Hmm… I can see the timeless wisdom and appeal of that, sister!

[Jacob Proffitt · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was okay, but only just and only if you take the light-hearted tone to heart. Which is a little hard to do because there are murderers murdering and fugitives fugitiving and bounty hunters bountying. Still, there are capers. And hijinks. And Catherine gets her own in with some great ingenuity.

Keeping this down were two main factors that annoyed me. First, Sam is both hard of communicating and one of those guys who gets off on thinking they're god—in this case, by believing that he is responsible for everything bad that happens to people around him. Seriously, he hangs onto that even in the face of great sense by all involved (including those he's supposedly doing reparations for). Also, he's kind of an idiot with regards to Catherine and keeps making judgy assumptions. Assumptions that say lots of bad things about him, frankly. So yeah, he's annoying.

Second, every now and then plot happens with hand-wavy bits that make little sense. Coincidences can happen, sure, but when they're the only reason you still have a plot . . . well, it's a problem is all I'm saying.

So yeah, a barely three-star read, but I liked Catherine enough to stick to that. She's feisty and strong and I loved seeing her burst out of her shell to such stunning effect.

A note about Steamy: There are two and a half explicit sex scenes, putting this in the middle of my steam tolerance. They only barely work for the story, though, and frankly, I kind of hated that Sam only finally believed Catherine wasn't her sister when they did the deed and he's all "nope, definitely not a dancer in a chorus line—way too wholesome" (essentially).

Bounty Hunter Sam Mckade can hardly believe his good fortune when he spots a sexy Miami showgirl headed threw the airport- one he knows for certain has a bond on her head. Thinking this could be the catch that could put him where he needs to be financially to fulfill a long held dream he follows her to her destination and grabs her before she slips away again.

Only the showgirl claims she isnt who he thinks she is, that she is in fact the guilty party's exact twin! But he's not falling for that one even if she seems a bit more clever than he first assumed as she does her best to slip his guard on their long trip back to Miami.

Catherine McPherson cannot believe she is once again embroiled in one of her twin sisters screwups, and the lunkheaded Bounty Hunter dragging her across the country- by Greyhound no less- refuses to believe he's got the wrong woman.

Still, there's something about the man that draws her and despite the fact he believes her to be hardened dim-witted liar, she finds herself wanting to protect him as much as her sister.

Somehow she's got to find a way to get away from Sam Mackade and help her sister out, before her sister's trouble catches up to them and kills them both.

I love Susan Andersen, she writes endearing likable characters whose interactions feel genuine and original. I loved Catherine's sweetness as well as her witty ways of frustrating Sam's plans to keep them on schedule. Sam is one hot ticket but it was his kindness to the old lady on the bus that won me over- as well as the heroine= altho I felt she left him off the hook to easy when he came to the realization he was wrong all along!

Andersen's one of my favorite contemporary romance writers and if you havent tried her yet, this is where you should begin.

Truly enjoyable read.

My eldest daughter, for some unknown reason, loves to read these things and leaves them lying around, and I happen to have the unfortunate disposition that, when I feel like reading, I am apt to pick up the nearest book I can find--and, once I start reading it, I have to finish it. I suspect that most educated people would regard this as trash, but I have found in the past that Ms. Anderson tells a pretty good story, if you can overlook the gratuitous sex, and this is certainly no exception: it’s a rollicking tale and probably the most gratuitous sex scenes I have come across.

The story features two identical twins (even to the point of having identical lipstick tattoos on their fannies) who just happen to be luscious redheads. One is a fluffhead who always gets in trouble and grew up to be a chorus dancer in a Miami nightclub run by a mobster; the other is prudent and sensible and gets a job reaching the deaf on the other side of the country, to get away from her sister. That doesn’t work, however; when the bad twin gets into serious trouble, she flies to the good sister for help, as usual, with the result that when the bounty hunter comes to get her, she jumps out the window and lets the bounty hunter take her sister; unfortunately, he is low on funds, so he has to travel by Greyhound bus. The bad twin eventually has a change of heart and decides she has to try to rescue her sister, with the help of her boyfriend, a bouncer from the nightclub--but the mobster boss in the meanwhile has sent his henchman to kill the bad twin, so he starts chasing after the good one, too. All’s well that ends well all over again, but Shakespeare probably could have done it better.

This book basically made me face my snobbery. I don't walk around aware of it, but then it rears up. Like when I'm reading a book and I am seriously not enjoying how most of the characters talk in "whaddayas" and "didjas" and "jaysuses". I must be sheltered. And a snob.

Otherwise, it was a fun-ish book. Kind of screwball humour. It was suspenseful - I did want to know what was coming next. I think that was because it was written in a way that really felt like watching a movie. You get a scene with these people, then a scene with those people, then a scene with some other people, and you watch them all converge.

Overall, I could see what my reaction was supposed to be (laughter) but I couldn't get past how dumb and selfish the on-the-lam sister (Kaylee) was to let the wrong twin (Catherine) get taken away by a bail bondsman when Kaylee knows a killer is after her. But I should just chill. Jaysus.

Mixed feelings. This had a really good start but unfortunately declined over time. I really liked the concept but it just felt a bit too drawn out, especially because of all the unnecessary POVs. It just didn’t feel grounded in reality, I couldn’t take any of the characters and their choices seriously. Such a shame.

[babyfishmouth · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Kindle version has the funniest typo I've ever seen. It took the book from a three star to a four star just on that alone.

Despite a completely improbably plot and one dimensional villains along with an uninteresting secondary romance, I did enjoy this book.
I skipped large sections of the villain POVs and secondary romance POVs so I could focus on the relationship between the hero Sam and heroine Catherine. I loved how flawed Sam was (bordering on complete ass) but that Catherine saw through it and never let him get away with being a jerk. She called him out everytime and he had the integrity to reflect and eventually agree with her asssessment of his character and actions.

This is fun, fast road romance (even faster if you skip the same sections I did) and I am definitely going to read the other two in her Baby series.


And in case you want to know the funny typo:
H/h are hiding out in a forest overnight. She is afraid of spiders so he lets her sit between his legs to lean back against him. This causes him so discomfort.
He stiffened for a moment, but then she felt his muscles loosen as he shitted on the ground behind her.

Um... pretty sure he "shifted" behind her.

Are you fucking kidding me! The main character gets to a police station and is too sad to give proof that she is who she says she is! What total bullshit! After which she just forgets that she legitimately thinks the guy is a perv and begs to have sex with him. This could not be more stupidly offensive towards women if it tried. Also nobody considers getting manhandled and dragged cross country a vacation. Sitting in a bus for that long would be uncomfortable, eating at cheap diners that give people food poisoning would be disgusting, and regularly being called a stupid slut is not endearing. The fact that the main character thinks this misadventure is more fun than a European vacation is one of the dumbest things ever written. I seriously have to wonder if the author is a misogynist because no women would ever feel utterly betrayed by being threatened with handcuffs and then immediately decide to sleep with the guy who betrayed her much less fall in love with him🤮.

I really wanted to like this book. I've enjoyed other "fun romps" I've read by this author but I just couldn't get into this book and I started it about 3 times. I think I couldn't get past wanting the hero to allow the heroine to prove or disprove who she was right off the bat and then the whole thing would be moot. Maybe I just wasn't in the right place mentally for this right now.

Baby I'm Yours
4 Stars

A delightful romantic comedy involving a showgirl on the run from the mob, a straight-laced teacher of the death, and the dark, brooding, and stoic bounty-hunter who can't tell them apart.

This has just the right mix of romance, adventure and action.

Sam and Catherine's love/hate relationship is very entertaining as their attempts to outmaneuver each other during the road trip from Seattle to Miami leads to one funny moment after another. Catherine's forthright attitude and willingness to stand up for herself in the face of Sam's overbearing belligerence makes her a particularly engaging heroine while Sam's chivalry and sense of honor more than compensate for his questionable logic and behavior.

The minor suspense plot also has its moments although the villains are overly stereotypical as are Catherine's sister, Kaylee, and her boyfriend, Bobby.

All in all, a light and fun read that is highly recommended for fans of Susan Elizabeth Philips and Rachel Gibson.

[Liz B · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was goofy, nonsensical fun. Catherine's identical twin Kaylee, who works as a showgirl in Florida, has gotten herself in some trouble, heard some stuff she wishes she hadn't, and jumped bail. Sam the bounty hunter follows Kaylee to Seattle, where he apprehends Catherine, who is decidedly NOT a showgirl. Because he doesn't have a ton of cash, he decides to take her back to Florida via Greyhound. Catherine is smart, resourceful, and uncooperative.

Sparks fly.

Like some of Jennifer Crusie's books, this would work well as a romantic comedy movie. It's got slapstick, sex, dumb gangsters, and snappy dialogue. And mistaken twins! What could be better?

I had some trouble with this book. Firstly, I didn't care AT ALL about Carolyn's sister, who has a large-ish roll in the book.

I really liked the concept of this novel, but as it played out I found myself getting bored and I really thought Carolyn was ridiculous a lot of the time.

It was a hard book for me to fininsh and now that I am done it isn't particularly memorable. I like other books by Susan Andersen a lot better than this one.

[Zel Polev · Rating 4 out of 5]

I already know the story from years ago and I would have rated this a four. This time around, it was alright to a very light four.

It's a very light story. I did find it hard to support either main characters because from their perspective, they're doing the right thing. It's just odd because I want to root for them but I can't. Sam took away Catherine because he thought she was her bail-skipping dancer twin. Catherine raises a lot of hell but she's doing it because he won't listen that he has the wrong woman. I couldn't really invest in the story in a deep way because I'm not supposed to. It's a light fluff read and I'll just take it as it is.

The story revolves around Sam and Catherine. Sam is a bail enforcer and Catherine's twin skipped out on her bail hearing. The twin went over to Catherine's place to get her to solve the problem because Catherine was the problem solving twin. Sam followed the twin and mistook Catherine for a criminal.

Sam believed Kaylee to be a massive liar so anything Catherine said was suspect to him. Her protestations that she was indeed Catherine fell on deaf ears. Sam already knew of the twins but verified that Catherine was abroad, but in reality, her trip was cancelled.

Thus started their trip. The pattern was Sam insists Catherine is Kaylee. Catherine delays their trip. Sam mumbles about spending too much. They get on the bus, off the bus, and stay in a motel. Rinse repeat. They gain followers. One was Kaylee and her boyfriend and the other was the bouncer-hired-hitman.

Sam and Catherine's relationship dynamic change from captor and captive to bodyguard and charge. The bouncer was ordered to kill Kaylee and as it appeared, Catherine was mistaken as Kaylee. They're fortunate though because Catherine's antics keep their travel itinerary unpredictable and thus she evaded the bouncer.

It all builds up to a final standoff where the bouncer catches up to them. Catherine enacts Sam's divided targets tactic and they defeat the bouncer. Sam and Kaylee's boyfriend came to rescue them but they rescued themselves.

I think the story is fitting for a good fluff movie.

[Lori ◡̈ · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fun enough story. I could totally see it as a rom-com movie to watch.

I picked this story though while browsing thru reviews and saw someone describe the heroine as a sweet girl. Hm..... nothing sweet about either twin. They were Bitch and Bitchier. I mean, I get that the heroine is pissed at being mistakenly arrested by a bounty hunter for her twin sister. But there were so many times where she could have communicated better to the hero to get the situation under control and get thru to him. But more often than not, she opted to stay silent and not speak up, and when she did speak, she was snarky and just a bitch.

As for the hero, he also missed many chances to ease misunderstandings by not speaking up and explain himself. I thought he was a pretty lousy bounty hunter to not double check with fingerprints (or something) once he realized that he was dealing with a twin girls situation. You know what you get when you assume? An ASS out of U and ME.

I thought it was unrealistic how all of the side characters were able to know exactly which hotel, which bus, etc our main couple where at/on at all times. And this seemed to take place before cell phones were a thing, so I am not sure about internet access too at that time, but it seemed way too convenient.

I did read the story the whole way thru and quickly at that, because I wanted to see how the relationship panned out. And I was satisfied enough with that part of the story. I will definitely read more of this authors stories, they seem to be entertaining.

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m not sure if this book was part of a series or not, but it was a great and funny story–definitely one I would recommend and may even give a re-read to in the future.

Kaylee MacPherson is on the lamb. She’s overheard her boss talk about soliciting a murder while in the dressing room of the Tropicana Gentleman’s Club in Miami. Not about to wait to see what happens next, Kaylee gets out of dodge–but wait, she can’t leave the state because she was found guilty of grand theft auto. Enter Sam McKade, bounty hunter. Sam is determined to make this last bounty the one that gets him enough money to buy a fishing lodge for him and his best friend, Gary. So Sam high-tales it to Seattle, Washington, where he knows that Kaylee might be hiding out with her sister. But her sister, who was supposed to be out of the country on a European vacation, is stuck at home. So when Sam knocks on her door, Kaylee makes tracks again, leaving Catherine to pick up the mess–yet again! Only, wait! Catherine and Kaylee are twins, so who does Sam think he’s picked up? Kaylee! Hilarious dialogue, cross-state-line kidnapping, food poisoning, and mayhem ensues.

This book was just what I needed! I really liked the dialogue between Sam and Catherine. These two had great chemistry and he really brought out a side in her that, as a reader, I felt one she didn’t know she had in her. Andersen is one of those authors that I have a ton of “to read” books for, so I’m glad this one was in my cue. Good stuff and definitely one I’d recommend if you need a funny–albeit crazy–book to read.

Baby, I'm Yours.
It is a cute book with a bit of a thriller twist.
The characters are a bit on the off side and sometimes will piss you off by their stubbornness throughout the book.
Though this trait is admirable most of the times in characters but at times when you just what to avoid certain things, it does nothing but piss you off.
The twin thing is charming in places and really annoying in others. But I liked certain parts of it. I also like that how this book wasn't only about Catherine but also about Kaylee.
There are certain discourse in the books that the book could've done without because it only felt that the book was dragging along.
The chemistry between Sam and Catherine though wasn't all flat but wasn't very attractive or effective either. For most part of the book, it felt like their romance had been forgotten.
Because the book was entirely focused on creating problems and misunderstandings.
And then all of a sudden there was all sorta romance outta nowhere towards the end. Though it wasn't bad, it wasn't all that good either.
I just think for all the potential that the book had, it didn't quite stand up to it. It could have done a lot better.

This is my first book of Andersen, this year.. :D Well, what can I say about this book. It is not my favorite but nevertheless a nice story. The story is fast-paced and lots of witty dialogues.

This is a story of twin sisters and Catherine aka Cat is a fabulous female!! Loved her wit and determination to do the right thing.

There is nothing much to say about this book. Not what I expected it to be. I wanted more in-depth characters. This was just 5 days short story, fast paced.

Read it at your risk. This is like it or hate it sort of book. actually all the books are that way only. We either like it or we don't. Make your own opinion for this one. Light read.

[Jessica · Rating 2 out of 5]

My four-sentence or less take on the plot: Typical twin-switch plot. One twin is a boring teacher at a deaf high school that wears boxy K-Mart clothes, the other twin is a showgirl. Showgirl overhears mob crime, bounty hunter gets wrong twin, hijinks ensue.

Rating: 4

What worked: It was readable. And a super easy read. Also, believable that the twins would act sort of like they did but it could have used more back story.

What didn't: It was cheesy and boring and I'm surprised so many people loved this book. Nobody in the book was terrible but it wasn't very exciting.

Is there supposed to be more to a review than this?

[Anne Holly · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a nice, simple, silly read that read as fairly modern, despite the 1998 publishing date - aside from a general lack of cell phones, that is. Characters are fine; adventure is madcap; crime story is superfluous. I can't really say anything against this story, except to say the way this lady hypnotizes every man in her world with her boobs does get a bit much after a while. Still, this was a wacky read for a drizzly weekend, and I enjoyed it.
