Tall, Dark and Irresistible

The Baby Bet #12

by Joan Elliott Pickart

COURTING CAROLYN...

Adoption specialist Carolyn St. John had given up on ever holding her own baby. For Carolyn knew the handicap that distanced her from others barred a future for her and any man. And then she met Ryan Sharpe....

The architect was blatantly masculine, sexy and... downright irresistible. As a member of the extended, loving MacAllister family, Ryan seemed to have everything he needed. Including his pick of gorgeous women. But his passionate pursuit of her and his searing kisses told Carolyn that he wanted only her. Dare Carolyn believe he'd still want her when he learned her secret?

[A · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was engaging and great but the ending fizzled out because there was such an amazing buildup about H hating secrets as it destroys. The H made a big deal about his secret and when h’s came out that she was deaf, he leaves her. Then after he proposes he shares his big secret which was his prom night with not the girl but her father closing the door on his face for being half Korean.

A little bit silly but I had to read through to the end. Sensitive subject though a bit drawn out for my taste. Nice Sundaze read :)
