Product Description
Jet-setting bachelor Dex Messina thought he knew everything about women...until he met the tiny infant girl abandoned on his doorstep. One thing Dex was sure of: the gorgeous redhead who stormed back into his life, insisting she'd made a mistake, was hiding something. And uncovering her secret would be his pleasure. To gain custody of her beloved niece, Lucy Alwin would do anything--even pose as the woman with whom Dex had shared one intimate night. But if boldly lying to the powerful billionaire was difficult, resisting their burning desire could prove impossible.

 Just Not For Me... September 10, 2008

This review is my rant; venting to releave the tension headache from reading this story and will probably delete it in the morning. I absolutely hated this story because I hated the heroine. She lied basically the entire story, felt she was perfectly justified in do so, reserved the right to pass judgement on others, and had no problem pushing her opinion and will upon others. I found it hard enough to get past her lying and manipulating but still read on in hopes of liking her along the way. I found it appalling that she felt comfortable judging others while her behavior was far worse and using an innocent child to excuse her behavior was, for me, indefensible.
Others enjoyed this book so the author must have struck a cord with some readers. Personally, I found that I could like sympathize/or and empathize with the characters in the book ... except the heroine. What a shining example for her neice; it is OK to be dishonest, the end always justifies the means, and the rules don't apply to you. A mirror or a little self evaluation might have helped but she was too busy analyzing and enlightening others.
The writing is fine; however, I must like the heroine to like a book and could not bring myself to like her; therefore - two stars instead of one due to the other characters.
 Excellent! May 17, 2008
Wow! Emily McKay has done it again. She's given us a touching story with characters to love and a romance for even the most cynical person to believe in. Lucy Alwin will stop at nothing to protect her baby niece. After her irresponsible twin sister leaves the baby on the doorstep of the father, Lucy decides it's best to pose as her sister, claim to have made a mistake and then walk away with the baby. However, Lucy doesn't count on powerful businessman Dex Messina embracing fatherhood. According to the tabloids, wasn't he a playboy after all? But the precious baby soon wraps Dex around her finger, and Lucy begins to realize he isn't the cold, unfeeling man she expected. When Lucy finds herself falling in love with Dex, she knows she must tell him the truth. But will Lucy's lies tear them apart or can this perfect family be mended? As a devoted fan of Ms. McKay, I knew her talents would once again capture my heart when I sat down to read this book. However, I was totally unprepared for the excellent twists she throws into Lucy and Dex's love story, ones that had me turning pages as fast as I could. The problems surrounding Lucy and Dex, the fears they both keep guarded, threaten to derail any chance of a happily-ever-after. But once again, Ms. McKay doesn't disappoint her readers. Wonderful plotting, believable characters (not to mention one adorable baby!), and the unfolding of a tender romance make this a first-class read not to be missed!

What a brilliant twisting to the old secret baby plot! This book was refreshing, poignant, authentic and full of characters that walked right off the page. Dex and Lucy will long live in my memory. McKay is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.
Fun, Satisfying Read April 7, 2008

I had a great time reading this book. If all the other Desire authors are as good as Emily McKay, I'll keep coming back for more. Her diamond-mogul hero and actuary heroine are sexy and engaging. McKay has crafted a never-predictable plot that keeps things moving right up to the satisfying happily ever after.
