This book begins when Robin learns that her brother and sister-in-law have died in an accident.  She flies across the country to attend the memorial service for her last remaining family member when she receives a shock: she and Jonas, her sister-in-law's brother, have been named co-guardians of their 14-month old nephew, Tony.  After a brief dispute, they decide the best course of action is a quick Vegas marriage.  They plan to co-exist with Tony for 8-10 months before deciding who would be the better parent.  Jonas and Robin have a lot in common.  They are both career-minded singles with no intentions of settling down in the near future.  I took to Jonas right away.  He's laid-back, witty, and charming.  He tries to make the best of a challenging situation.  Robin, however, just was not a character I could like.  She's battling her own past, but that doesn't excuse her complete lack of objectivity and humor.  Jonas has to change his fun-loving demeanor just to get along with her.The best part of this book was watching them become parents to Tony.  I was much more interested in the little boy than his aunt and uncle's relationship.  It's a very quick read with a little drama, a little romance, and a couple of steamy scenes thrown in to keep it interesting.  I really enjoyed the plot.  A more likable heroine would have made all the difference for me.
