I think this might just be my most favourite book by this author yet, it just had such great characters. We met Mark the former CIA turned PI in the last book, where we saw him struggle to be a father to his almost-fifteen year old child prodigy daughter. Mark never had a relationship with his daughter beyond sending gifts and awkward chats over the internet, his college girlfriend deliberately got pregnant. His daughter Sophie lost her mother and then because of her elderly grandparent's health...
I thought, "Ok, a decent read. Not great literature but a nice escape for a couple of hours." Then he said "I'm going to take your virginity". Just to help her through the trauma of her earlier life and to help her be a full person able to have relationships - not with him because he doesn't have relationships because a woman in his past tricked him - but she'll be better off and happier when he leaves her.Such bull-hockey. Why do the men in these books think they have the answer to all of women...
I liked some aspects of this story but overall, not that much, especially the romance development. Probably why I mostly stay away from category stories...
this is my favorite of Stephanie's books. The hero and heroine are super well-matched. Very sexy, very emotional and very funny. The hero is really delicious and the heroine is really tortured. It's a win all the way around!!! Pre order!!!!
Former CIA agent Mark Sharpe is the best at what he does...just ask him. Having decided to leave the Agency in order to be a full-time dad to his reluctant teenage daughter, Mark has set up as a private investigator specializing in cold cases. Now, one of those cases seem to have come back to haunt him, forcing him to bite the bullet and hire on a brilliant partner who simply rubs him the wrong way.JoJo Hatcher is a non-conformist. If someone can't tell that from her attitude, her tattoos will l...
A story that grabbed me by the throat and hung until through the last page. The hints as to who was trying to harm former CIA agent Mark's hugely talented daughter are offered throughout the story, but not in such a way that they were obvious. Thus, I kept looking for other clues as I kept reading. JoJo's backstory has horrifying elements and her character reflects those horrors even as she attempts to move past them. She can't do that without Mark's help, but he also needs her to protect his da...
My first read by Stephanie Doyle--definitely won't be my last.A kind of bad-boy hero trying to clean up his act for his daughter, who's forced to live with him now that her mom's died. An unconventional heroine who's smart and independent and who's determined not to show her soft underbelly. And his daughter's a tough cookie who's easy to like in spite of her obvious teen-ness ;)Well written characters, a plot that kept me turning pages. Will definitely look for more by Ms. Doyle.
Goodreads seems to have eaten review I wrote last night, but bottom line this was probably my favorite of the Tyler group books. I liked a lot of things about this book, especially that Sophie never falls into cliche teenage daughter territory and does something stupid to put her in danger. I liked that JoJo's past was particularly difficult and no shiny red bow of perfection was put on that at the end.
"Doyle does a good job of making two very different characters fit together quite well in this opposites-attract romance." RT Book Reviews, rated 4 stars
