Summary: I just couldn't get into the characters
Comment: I have to admit that the first reaction I had to this book was disappointment. I had heard such good things about this author from friends, but I will definitely try other books by her having read other reviews about this book on this page. I rather think this book is an abberation for this author - it just isn't as good as her others. So for other first time readers of Andersen maybe we should try again.
For me I was put off from the start. Daisy Parker is a security specialist who is called in to help her ex-step-brother, Nick Coltrane, with a problem. Despite the fact that they were only step-siblings for a short period, I was put off by this fact. It still seems like they were brother and sister to me - perhaps its just a problem I have and others might not be bothered by that at all - but if they were bought up for even a short time as brother and sister, even if they aren't actually related, I just feel a bit iffy about it.
I get even more iffy since it seems that Nick took her virginity 9 years before during his real sister's wedding. Nick then walked out on her and never saw her again. The whole situation of that seems even more sordid, no matter what he thought at the time.
Anyway - Nick Coltrane needs Daisy's help to see off some goons who are after him, but he isn't telling her the whole truth. There is supposed to be a whole lot of tension as Daisy has to move in with him to protect him and they are both fighting the pain of rejection from the past and a whole lot of new emotions bought up by their closeness now, but it just doesn't gel for me. Daisy is a bit of a feisty character and sorts him out (violently) at least once - but to me the reactions seemed all wrong and forced.
There is a glimmer of humour in here which certainly helped me read much more of it than I would have normally. And like I said I am certainly going to read some of her earlier books - but this one just didn't grab me at all.

Summary: If I could give it 10, I would.
Comment: The very best of the Baby books! I've only had this book a month, and already I've read it twice. There is a great give and take between the characters that keeps you reading to the last page. There is a flaw in the plot, but it is more than made up for by the great relationships, strong characters, and snappy lines.
Daisy is strong and independant, and for once an author didn't put a female lead in a tough profession, and then have the hero rescue her. Nick hired her to protect him, and protect him she did.
Nick was also a great character. Life changed him from a spoiled rich boy into a working man. He is cautious, but once he makes up his mind, WOW, does he ever try to show his love. That is, if Daisy doesn't kill the FTD delivery man before she gets the message.
