GOTCHA!

Romance Contemporary

You know the expression -- you only get one chance to make a good first impression -- well Macy Tucker's pretty sure kicking the investigator, in charge of finding her escapee brother, in the family jewels is not going to be one. But Macy is used to rather over the top behavior, her family seems to have invented it, and pardon the pun knee jerk reactions. Living with a yoga training grandma and an ever sobbing mother has given her a rather slanted view of family life. So what's so great about having a normal family. Macy would like a stab at normalcy but it looks like the gods have other ideas. The women in her family are basically distrusting of all men after all men cheat, desert their families and die in their spaghetti -- in short they are just no good. Then Macy's life goes from never boring to hectic in the blink of an eye. Her worries start with word that her brother Billy has just escaped jail and is wanted in connection with the murder of another escapee and possibly one of the guards. Then detective Jack Baldwin shows up while she, using the excuse of pizza delivery, checks out the house belonging to some squeaky voiced chick who claims to be Billy's girlfriend. Here's where the first impression thing got slightly out of hand. Next thing you know Macy is attacked by someone and she protects herself -- well you get the picture. Let's just say Grandma Nan taught her well -- too well if you ask Jake who can't believe this little brunette has brought him to his knees. Better watch out Jake. You haven't seen anything yet. As he learns Macy is smart, sassy, sexy and unpredictable and he is definitely in over his head with her and her somewhat wacky family. Torn between his desire to protect her and get between the sheets with her Jack finds himself in a vulnerable position that he swore to avoid. But you see that's the interesting thing about love -- it's pretty unpredictable and can happen to the best of us. Gotcha! It is a daunting task to write a review about a book that will truly do it justice without giving away too much of the storyline. Suffice it to say once you get started with GOTCHA you won't be able to put it down. Kind of like a good chocolate cake -- can you really stop at one bite when the cake is beckoning. One more bite -- one more page and before you know it the cake/book is done. Fast paced storyline filled with little twists and turns -- couldn't ask for more. Craig will get you from page one. Enjoy.

SUMMARY

Macy Tucker was five years old when her beloved grandfather dropped dead in his spaghetti. At twelve, her father left his family in the dust. At twenty-five, her husband gave his secretary a pre-Christmas bonus in bed, and Macy gave him the boot. To put things lightly, men have been undependable. That's why dating's off the menu. Macy is focused on law school, and putting herself throughโ€”which means being the delivery girl for Papa's Pizza. But cheesier than her job is her pie-eyed brother, who just recently escaped from prison to protect his new girlfriend. And hotter than Texas toast is the investigating detective. Proud, sexyโ€ฆinflexibleโ€”he's a man who would kiss her just to shut her up. But Jake Baldwin's a protector as much as a dish. And when he gets his manโ€”or his womanโ€” Macy knows it's for life.
