Summary: Hilarious!!
Comment: Don't read this book if you are looking for a serious story dealing with the aftermath of having a one night stand and having a baby. This was written to be funny, and it is. Of course, the things Delaney did were ridiculous! No one would go to the extent she did. But where would any story be if it only told what the most reasonable and boring person would do? Read this to be highly entertained and I guarantee you won't be able to stop from laughing.

Summary: cute, engaging!!!!
Comment: Delaney on a job interview in a small town in Maine, indulges in a one night stand (something she has never done) with the 'Magic Man' and despite precautious she ends up expecting. Suddenly, she regrets they did not bother to observed prelimaries - like exchanging names and telephone numbers.
Even though she is facing being life as new doctor, she quickly adapts and enjoys her role as new mother. 6 months after the baby is born she moves back to the small down in Maine, still expecting to never see the baby's father since she believed he was passing through. Instead, as she quickly discovers since he is her first patient, that he has always lived in the town. Since the 34 year old father of her child is standing there with his 19 year bimbo cheerleader girlfriend, she panics and says she is married. Worse, she discovers he is the landlord of her new residence!
The lie grows and grows until she finds herself buying clothes and creating magazine subscripts in the 'husbands' name, trying to convince Jack that she is married.
It is often a little stretched, and you really wonder if someone would go to these extremes, but Fox's writing makes the whole thing enjoyable!

Summary: I Liked It, But...
Comment: I liked the characters, and I liked the fact that Ms. Fox gave voice to both Delaney and Jack, but Delaney's antics to try to hide the fact that Jack was her daughter's father were just a little too ridiculous and heavy-handed. I would have thought that since she had decided early on not to have contact with the child's father, she would have come up with a good cover story to explain her single parenthood. I also would have expected her to keep her facts straight without resorting to writing them down in a list and putting it where it could be found. After all, she knew she was returning to the town where the child was conceived, and someone may have noticed her and Jack together.
The characters were all interesting and amusing, the romance sexy, and the dialogue humorous, but the contrived and somewhat annoying nature of the plot conflict is what makes this book rate only 3 stars, which is a shame because there was a lot of potential here.
