About That Man

By Sherryl Woods

Daisy Spencer's name is on everybody's lips…

How could the sensible daughter of Trinity Harbor's self-proclaimed patriarch have taken in the boy caught hot-wiring her car? Whether the boy is a modern-day Huck Finn or not, Trinity Harbor is in an uproar. But for Daisy, guiding the orphaned ten-year-old is easy, an escape from her own tragic past. She can ignore the town's nay-saying. The only real obstacle is…that man.

That man is the boy's uncle, Walker Ames, a tough D.C. cop who sees his unexpected nephew as his last chance at redemption. Soon he's commuting to the charming fishbowl of a town, where everyone assumes he's seduced Daisy–their best Sunday-school teacher! But to Walker, Daisy is a disconcerting mix of charming innocence and smart-mouthed excitement in a town that's not as sleepy as it looks.

Cute, lighthearted, funny & entertaining.....but I know for a fact Men Just Do Not Talk or Think like they do in this series.....

First in the Trinity Harbor Series. When single level-headed Daisy takes in Tommy, a 10 yo orphan, until his extended family is located, the local tongues start wagging. And when his uncle, a sexy single Detective from DC shows up, and she allows him to stay with her during his visits to get to know the boy, then the town gossip erupts. And leading the gossip, is likely Daisy's cantankerous, know-it-all father.

I enjoy her style. The plot is mostly predictable yet enjoyable. Nice romance with a little sizzle. I'd recommend it if you like romances.
