Before you say, 'Stop it already! I had enough of the endless romance novels!', I'm afraid I may just have to stop you in your tracks. Yes, it does have elements of guarded love and a solitary kissing episode (yes, I totally mean a SINGLE one!) but not even a single 18SX scene (sorry cumbu fans).
This novel speaks of how two completely unlikely individuals put together due to the force of their friends' wills end up caring for a sweet, bubbly girl as guardians.
Becca Reinhart's life is work, work, work. The youngest ever partner of Davis Capital, her job is her life and she has no intention of being sidetracked from it.
When Edward Kirkland isn't at his racquet club, attending charity dinners or gala concerts, he's being pursued by countless women who consider him to be the most eligible bachelor in town.
A more unlikely pair you couldn't hope to meet. But when Becca and Edward become joint guardians to a four-year-old child called Emily, their lives collide with a bang.
It's hilarious to see how two characters who are hardly parent material embrace parenthood with Emily's rambunctious behaviour and an almost-slip-up by Edward (he was to marry an icy gold-digger Bunny Stiŕrup, who was constantly hatching plans of getting rid of sweet Emily).
In a lighthearted manner, this novel portrayed the complexities of co-guardianship and the legalities involved around the wills left by the dearly departed. I found this story rather refreshing from the cloyingly sweet romances that involves one too many randy scenes. A wonderful book on love and family that I highly recommend.
