Summary: WONDERFUL!
Comment: I bought my first Susan Andersen book after I saw the cover (Be My Baby). I am so glad I "judged a book by its cover"! Now I am addicted to her books which have all been super. I love the craziness and sexiness of the plots/characters. As usual, I neglected my children for the three days it took to finish Exposure. While I'm swinging them with my right hand, I have her book in my left. SUSAN - PLEASE DON'T STOP WRITING SUCH WITTY WONDERFUL BOOKS!
P.S. I have turned my two sisters on to your books and they read them while on the train going to and from work in Downtown Chicago and find themselves embarassed from laughing out loud unexpectedly.

Summary: New "Awlins" Drawl + Excessive Baby Talk = Gritted Teeth
Comment: This had the potential to be a good book. I like that the hero is not perfect. He had scars on the outside as well as the inside. However, I just couldn't finish reading it because of the excessive focus on Emma's baby. Pages of dialogue were taken up by baby talk. I've got nothing against children in a romance novel, but they shouldn't take up as much space in the dialogue as the hero & heroine do. Also, Andersen paints Gracie (the 3-year-old) as an ideal child, much in the same vein as a Disney character. It's totally unrealistic.
Besides this annoyance, there's also the heroine's accent. I notice that Andersen has a tendency of overkill on the accent thing. She did this in one of her other novels (I think it's PRESENT DANGER, but I can't be sure). I come from down south and, unless New Orleans is drastically different, I don't know anyone who says "y'all" to someone's face when they mean you. Y'all is when you're addressing or discussing a group of people. Andersen would have been better off just throwing in a few words with regularity that hint at the southern accent. Instead, every other word out of the heroine's mouth is spelled in a way that screams "I'm a southern stereotype."
In fact, these two things bothered me so much that I didn't finish reading the novel. I guess that says a lot too. If it was really edge-of-my-seat interesting, I would have overlooked those two annoyances and finished it.

Summary: Good, But Not Her Best.
Comment: Emma Sands car needs repairs and she is stuck in Washington State's Port Flannery, a remote fishing village. No one knows her there and it will be a good place for her and her daughter, Gracie, to hide for a few days. Emma is on the run from someone who is determined to ruin her life.
Big city cop, now a smalltown sheriff, Elvis Donnelly, is six foot five and the victim of a violent boyhood and a bomb blast that has left him somewhat handicapped. When he meets Emma, the attraction is instant but, can he keep her safe from her past?
This story is basically a good read with one annoying hitch. And her name is Gracie. Although she is a cute kid, I feel she had too much spotlight in this story. Emma and Elvis' relationship revolved around her. Conversations and love scenes were placed on the back burner because Gracie was around. And I have to agree with other reviewers that her vocabulary was quite extensive for a child just turning three. But if you can get past this, you might enjoy this story.
