I read a review about the 3rd book in this series and had to have them all. I read the first one and reviewed it here as well (see Review: Too Hot to Handle by Doris O'Connor that was published on 2/5). I am really loving this author and her tortured heroes and heroines. She is quickly moving up on my favorite author list. Each book is better.This book was filled with emotional angst, heartache and most of all love. It's a gorgeous thing to watch this couple go through all the trials and tribulations they have to endure and come out stronger for it. Elise has been through hell. Her mother died when she was ten years old and she promised to watch after her troublemaking twin sister Jemima. She had no idea what that would entail. Jemima's latest troubles include using her sister's identity to get a job and then sticking her with it and all the trouble she stirred up with her charges father. Elise loves children but feels as though she doesn't deserve them after a tragic accident on one of her previous jobs as a nanny. Jemima throws her into the one job that Elise swore she would never have again, being a nanny.Marco was burned badly by his ex-wife. She took his love and through it in his face. He trusts no one and doesn't believe in love. So imagine how he feels when he finds out on the honeymoon (he blackmailed Elise into marrying him) that he had been swindled by Jemima and Elise (or so he believed) into believing Jemima was Elise.This couple has so many obstacles in their way, yet they find their way to each other over and over again. Momma G is an amazing woman who won me over in Too Hot to Handle (eventually). Her and her matchmaking bring this couple together and forge a bond between them that proves to be unbreakable. Books like this are the reason I am addicting to reading. I love the tortured soul, Alpha males and strong and sassy heroines. They make the most fun and frustrating stories come to life. I can't wait to read the next one in the series. Although, after reading about Jemima in this book, I am a bit weary. I don't know if I will be able to like her or not. We shall see if Ms. O'Connor can work her literary magic in this book as well.
