Daddy by Surprise
Debra Salonen
Harlequin SuperRomance, Jan 2009, $5.50
ISBN: 9780373715404
Following the end of his engagement, dentist Jack Treadwell goes on vacation in Deadwood, South Dakota where the celebration of the “Days of ’76 gold rush occurs. There he meets Kat Petroski, a twice divorced mother of two (Tag and Jordie) at the bar she works as her first ex says in a “tits for tips” job; they share an instant attraction to one another. Motorcycle riding Jack hires Kat to be his guide in the area.
As Jack and Kat fall in love; each has a problem. She knows she falls for his type of “swoo” hunks who run on the wild side while he has issues wondering if he can be a good father to her sons; besides he also knows he is more a dentist than the ride like the wind image he has shown her while on vacation.
Title aside, this is a wonderful Black Hills romance due to the eccentric support cast who bring South Dakota alive one week before the Sturgis bike event is to occur. The lead couple is a nice pairing as she falls for swoo, but he may be “looking for adventure out on the highway” (Steppenwolf), but deep inside he is born to be a dentist not going wild. Fans will enjoy this engaging contemporary with strong characters who hook readers from the onset.
