I didn't care for these 3 books.  To be honest, I only tried to read two but I couldn't stand them, so didn't bother with the third one l  The first, Husband Wanted...the heroine hires a guy to pretend to be her husband so her aunt will think she is living a normal life.  Her whole side of the family is Kooky and the aunt is a good soul that just wants them to be normal.  Not bad to that point.  She hires one of the Carrington's.  He is trying to talk to her about a business deal and she won't give him the time of day, so he slips in this way.  It was okay up until the part where her sister comes to town, goes into her apartment uninvited and then proceeds to trash it and acts like nothing is wrong and she is just a free spirit doing her thing and the whole should just accommodate her.  That little scene set my hair on fire.  That did it for me.  Instead of throwing her sister out on her butt, taking her key back and telling her to call first the next time, she just falls in with it like it is all okay.  I quit reading.  No body would put up with that kind of behavior.  Ugh.The next a pilot comes home from a very long flight, is sitting in his hot tub after midnight in the dark when 3 very young children coming into his yard thru the fence and climb a fruit tree stealing fruit. After a few minutes a young woman, in pajamas, comes through the fence looking for the kids.  They are trashing his reputation based on gossip and rationalizing that their stealing fruit is okay since he is a mean guy.  He finally stands up to defend himself and they all starting screaming and run for the fence.  Of course, he is instantly smitten by the half naked girl and loses his mind.  She screams at him and defends HER children, telling him they have been taught to not talk to strangers giving the appearance of the perfect mother.  Guess it slipped her mind to teach them that they do not going on other people's property and steal fruit regardless of whether the owner eats it or not, and they do not sneak out of the house after midnight to roam the neighbor.  It was just unbelievable to me even tho I have known people just like her.  I couldn't handle it, I quit.  Since it was two out of three so far that I did not like I didn't bother with #3.  I liked a lot of the other Destiny Bay series but I just couldn't handle this one.
