That was very ordinary. I enjoy secret baby themes but this one not so much. Maybe I'll cut her some slack for running from him after a brief conversation with a conniving other woman when she was 18 but later? The baby is 2 when they meet again and he is in need of some serious surgery on his back and still the heroine lies about his parentage instead of asking the boy's father for money? Kind of a stupid set up. And the rest of the story was pretty ho hum. Still this works for a bingo challenge I'm in so there is that.… (lisätietoja)

Twenty-one-year-old heroine (Nicola Sloane) gets a job as a safari tour guide in South Africa. She is attracted to hero Blye Peterson (whose real name is Beldon Delayney, the boss of Delayney Tours, but Nicola is led to believe, by Blye, that he's the tour bus driver/personnel officer). What will Nicola do when she discovers the truth about Blye?

This book started off okay. I enjoyed the descriptions of the safari. I liked Nicola, she was a nice heroine who, I thought, did a pretty good job on her first safari. My main problem was with Blye. There was another woman (voluptuous blonde divorcee Gloria) interested in Blye on the safari who was very rude. (She tried to take an elderly lady's seat who had a bad leg on the tour bus and was only on the safari to be near Blye. Gloria knew Blye and it was rumored it was because of Blye she got a divorce). At one point Blye forced Nicola to apologize to Gloria. I didn't think Nicola did anything that bad, (considering the woman's rude behavior) and Blye threatened Nicola's job if she didn't apologize to Gloria. He took away Nicola's safari uniform with him. He made Nicola stay in her room. She wasn't allowed to join the safari until she apologized to Gloria. I got sick and tired of Blye. It made him seem weak and wimpy, trying to appease Gloria, who was a shrew and ruining the tour for the others while constantly picking on Nicola. This loser "hero" spoiled the book for me. I don't know what Nicola saw in him.… (lisätietoja)
