Family Matters-Barbara White Daille

Family Matters
Barbara White Daille
Harlequin American Romance, Oct 12 2010, $4.99
ISBN: 9780373753321

In Lakeside, Illinois at the Lakeside Village planned community for fifty years old and older, attorney Matt Lawrence believes Brendan McBride of swindling people into reconstructing the shut down Rainbow’s End amusement park. Bren’s niece art teacher Kerry MacBride takes exception with Matt’s accusation though she knows she should wear a cape for all the times she has rescued her uncle and Gran from troubles they caused.

As Matt and Kerry argue in front of her family, the Village residents and when alone, their attraction for one another becomes heated. However, neither can move on to pursue their potential relationship until they reach an agreement, if they can, on what Uncle Bren did or not do, and if yes how to make retribution.

This is an amusing intelligent contemporary romance as the lawyer and the teacher argue, fuss and kiss. The support cast especially the impish McBride clan is an eccentric group who brings much of the jocularity to the charming lighthearted story line. However, it is the gender war between Superwoman and her “Supervillain” enemy that makes this an engaging battle of lips.
