Jack Travis--charming, rich, and gorgeous--has never encountered a woman like Ella Varner--cute, sassy, and determined. Ella is going to find out who the father of her sister Tara's baby is--and have him live up to his responsibilities. When she zeroes in on Jack as a possibility, the romantic sparks fly, and the laughs begin. Emily Durante perfectly captures Ella's quirkiness, warmth, and longing and Jack's Southern charm and depth. Lesser characters--the Travis clan, the other possible fathers, and Ella and Tara's manipulative but highly entertaining mother--are portrayed memorably. This is a fun and funny listen, not to be missed. A.C.P. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

Ella Varner grew up with a troublesome mother and an insecure sister, but she has managed to come out of it reasonably sane, with a good (if vegan) boyfriend, Dane, and a job as an advice columnist. All of this gets turned upside down when her sister disappears and sticks Ella with her newborn, Luke. Determined to find Luke's father, Ella tracks down a likely suspect—millionaire playboy Jack Travis. The encounter results in Travis and Ella unexpectedly engaged in an irrepressible attraction. Meanwhile, Ella grows fond of baby Luke and fears what will happen when Tara returns. As Ella grapples with conflicting desires, she learns some important lessons about love and trust. Though Kleypas has trouble breaking her male characters out of archetype and the arc is familiar, Ella's familial dysfunction distinguishes her from other heroines, and her self-awareness draws her out of a stereotypical shell. This will please romance fans, even if it hews a bit too closely to genre conventions.
