A party-loving sports figure is not an ideal parent in
Alexis Brown's eyes. Too bad quarterback Dan Delito is the
only parent her niece has. Alexis isn't in a position to
raise the baby on her own, which means she needs Dan's help.
And that means she'll have to make nice with the unsuitable
man. Fine.
Much to Alexis's surprise, however, Dan is
good with his daughter. He also knows he needs help, so he
convinces Alexis to act as a nanny until he gets this
parenting thing down. And soon their uneasy friendship
changes into an unlikely romance. But can a football player,
a lawyer and a baby really make a family?
Linda Barrett has done it again… from heart wrenching to heart warming. This story throws two strangers together for the sake of a baby girl who they both love.
Quarterback Daddy begins with a newspaper clipping of the shooting death of Sherri Brown, who was nine months pregnant. From this heart griping tragedy, we meet Alexis Brown, Sherri’s sister and temporary guardian to Sherri’s newborn, Michelle.
Alexis, whose heart is completely captured by little Michelle, finds that with funds dwindling and foster care looming, her only option is to seek out Michelle‘s birth father.
Dan Delito is not only the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots, but also a man still grieving the loss of his wife, a man who’s enjoying his six-pack too much.
Alexis has serious concerns: Will this “party loving sports figure†be a good father? Dan wonders if Alexis is setting him up for scandal, or extortion, or her 15 minutes of fame? Will this hurt his team, his career?
Neither initially trusts the other. It doesn’t take long, however, before Dan discovers his daughter owns Alexis’s heart. Alexis cannot miss that Danny is immediately besotted by baby Michelle and will do whatever is necessary for her care and safety.
As the two deal with Michelle’s care, cracks appear in their wall of distrust. Slowly, a friendship develops and the possibility of something more.
First, however, there are big issues to confront. Will past traumas forever keep them apart or will they be able to reach the goal of true love and a happy family life?
You’ll be turning the pages quickly to find out how Alexis and Dan figure out the answers to these questions.
Quarterback Daddy is a contemporary love story with fully developed characters, great conflict, and a rocky road to its "Happily Ever After". I enjoyed this book! (Francine Infortunio 10:30pm February 13, 2010)
