Review
"Wyatt Harper finds his niece's birth mother desirable, but his history makes him wary. If they could let go of the betrayals and regrets of their pasts, they may find what's always been denied them, a future of love. Lacey's down-under setting is perfect for her imperfect couple, whom readers will root for. It also doesn't hurt that the heat between the sheets is as hot as January in Australia."

It was the third time she had seen him in two days. And because she had a vivid imagination, Fiona Walsh had created all kinds of possible scenarios as to why the most gorgeous man she'd ever clapped her eyes upon appeared to be following her every move.
Who was he? An admirer? Lottery official? Stalker?
Yesterday morning she'd spotted him across the road outside her house, leaning on the hood of his car and speaking into his cell phone. She'd gone to collect her morning paper from the footpath and hung around by the gate for a few minutes, feigning interest in her wilted herb garden. Then he appeared by the foreshore that same afternoon while she ran her dog along the beach. Same car. Same kind of well-cut clothes. Same dark hair and superbly chiseled features.
Now he was at the riding school where she stabled her horse.
Fiona eased Titan, her Thoroughbred gelding, to a halt in the center of the sand arena and lifted the rim of her helmet. The man remained by his car, leaning against the door as he watched her. There was nothing threatening in his demeanor. He appeared more mildly curious than anything else. With the idea he wasn't about to attack her and toss her in the trunk of his car firmly out of her head, Fiona experienced a strange warmth across her skin. Handsome, nice car, the kind of clothes that oozed confidence—she couldn't help but be intrigued.
He was on his cell again, talking as he watched her. Fiona collected the reins and clicked Titan forward. The big gelding obeyed instantly, and she maneuvered him toward the entrance gate. No more guessing games. She'd find out who the man was and just what he wanted. Right now.
She dismounted and tethered Titan to the hitching rail. Once he was secured, she pulled off her riding hat and wasted a few seconds adjusting her hair. As she left the arena and walked purposefully across the yard, Fiona watched him end his call, slip the cell phone into a pocket and straighten to his full, broad-shouldered height.
Ten feet away she stopped and clipped her booted heels together. He was ridiculously good-looking and appeared to be in his early thirties. Even though sunglasses shielded his eyes, Fiona knew he was staring at her. She suddenly had a silly thought about her appearance and wished she'd worn something other than her grass-stained riding breeches and century-old T-shirt.
Silence stretched like elastic. Finally, she summoned the nerve and drew in a deep breath. "I guess you're not here to tell me I've won the lottery?"
He cracked a half smile and flipped the sunglasses off. "No."
She clamped her hands on her hips and tried to ignore the way her belly rolled over when she met his perfectly brilliant blue eyes. "Then why are you following me?"
"I'm not," he said and took a step toward her.
Fiona widened her gaze. "Three times in two days?" She clicked her fingers. "That's quite a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence at all," he replied. "I've simply been waiting for the appropriate time to speak with you."
Fiona raised her chin as annoyance wove up her spine. He had a little too much self-assurance for her liking. "With me? What on earth for? I don't know you, and I—"
"Are you Fiona Lorelle Walsh?" he asked quietly, cutting her off.
She stilled and her breath grabbed at her throat. "What do you want?" she asked as suspicion crept along her skin.
He took another step. "To talk to you."
Fiona stared at him. He knew her full name? Who was he?
She had the urge to retreat. Get away. Put distance between herself and his lovely eyes. "I'm sorry, but I'm busy at the moment. I have to get back to my horse," she said and pivoted on her heels.
"Miss Walsh?" he called after her. "Fiona?"
She stopped midstride and took another breath, deeper, longer. Titan moved restlessly from his spot by the gate as though he sensed her unease. She spotted Callie Preston, owner of the riding school and her closest friend, walking across the arena toward the two remaining riders. If she needed her friend, Callie would be at her side in a moment. But she kept her wits. Whoever this stranger was, she wasn't afraid of him. Fiona turned around and faced the man behind her.
Her heart continued to thump madly. In the sunlight his hair appeared almost black and shimmered in a way she'd usually find attractive. But a voice told her not to think about him like that. "Who are you?"
"My name is Wyatt Harper."
She didn't recognize it. "What do you want?"
"To talk."
"What about?"
He stepped closer. "Perhaps we could go somewhere a little more private."
Fiona bristled. "This is plenty private."
He glanced toward the other riders and then back to her. After a moment he drew in a breath. "Okay. Firstly, let me assure you that I'm not any kind of threat to you."
Fiona didn't feel threatened. But her curiosity was at an all-time high. Sensing she needed every advantage she could get, she didn't quite let him off the hook. "I guess I'll know that when you tell me what you want." He smiled, and Fiona's insides gave a silly leap. "So, start talking."
He nodded. "Like I said, my name is Wyatt Harper." He pulled a small card from his shirt pocket and held it toward her.
She knew he stood still deliberately, allowing her the chance to move forward so he wouldn't appear intimidating. Smooth, she thought. And clever. She took a couple of steps, snatched the card and read it as she moved backward again. Sure enough, it said Wyatt Harper in bold print, with the title of managing director of Harper Engineering underneath it.
So, he had an impressive-looking job. It didn't explain what he wanted with her. "And?"
He met her gaze directly and took his time replying. "I'm here on behalf of Cecily Todd."
Cecily Todd? Fiona shook her head. "I don't know who that—"
"Cecily is my niece," he said quietly, interrupting her, "and the child you gave up for adoption fourteen years ago." Her world quickly tilted on some invisible axis. No. I don't believe it.
Oh, my God…is this happening?
She'd thought about this moment for years. Imagined it. Dreamed it and dreaded it. And her knees, usually rock-solid and strong, weakened like a bowl of jelly. Fiona bowed over fractionally as the air tried to squeeze into her lungs.
Breathe …just breathe…
He stepped forward but she raised a hand to warn him off. "Take deep breaths."
He was clearly concerned but Fiona wasn't in any mood to be grateful. "Yeah," she huffed and cast him a sharp look. "No problem."
"Perhaps you should sit down," he suggested and looked around. "There are steps by the house. You could—"
"No," she said raggedly and gulped in air. "Please.. just…stop."
He placed a hand on her shoulder. "I can't do that."
She grabbed her knees for support, took a deep breath and then straightened. He dropped his hand and stepped back. She drew in another steadying breath, trying to rally her strength.
"I'd like to talk with you about my niece," he said.
"Your niece?" she echoed vaguely, suddenly light-headed. Fiona put a hand to her temple. It was surreal. Dreamlike. As if it was happening to someone else, in some kind of alternate reality. "I feel a little woozy," she admitted.
He grasped her arm and this time she didn't ward him off. "Come on, you need to sit down."
She let him lead her toward the house. There were three steps, and he urged her to sit on the bottom rung. Fiona dropped her head between her knees. "I'm not normally like this."
"I surprised you," he said evenly. "I'm sorry."
"Surprised?" Fiona craned her neck to look at him. "You just shocked the hell out of me."
"What's going on here?"
She looked up. Callie stood twenty feet away. Her friend looked suspicious and regarded them seriously.
"It's all right, Callie," Fiona said. "I felt a little dizzy for a moment. I'm okay now."
"Who's this?" the other woman asked.
Fiona glanced at the man standing near her and saw his masked irritation at being spoken about in the third person. "Wyatt Harper," he said.
Fiona pulled her head up before her friend had a chance to respond. "Thanks for coming over, Callie, but I'm fine now."
She didn't look convinced. "If you're sure…"
"I'm sure," Fiona said quickly.
She lingered for a moment, nodded and then walked off in the direction of the stables.
"Friend of yours?" he asked once she was out of earshot.
"Yes," Fiona replied. "She owns this place."
He nodded vaguely. "Are you really feeling okay?"
"I'm fine, thank you."
He nodded. "About Cecily, I wanted to—"
"Are you sure?" she asked, cutting him off. "I mean, are you sure she's…or that I'm her."
"Her birth mother?"
She swallowed the heavy emotion in her throat. "Yes."
"If you're Fiona Walsh, then yes, I'm sure. I have documentation to support that you gave birth to Cecily."
She took a deep breath, drawing strength. "And you're her uncle?"
"That's right. My sister and her husband adopted Cecily."
A lovely couple. That's what she'd been told by the adoption agency. People who would be able to give her daughter everything she couldn't. Stability. Safety. A perfect home. She'd had fourteen years to imagine what they were like. Fourteen years where she hadn't known her child's name.
Fourteen years to dream about reconnecting with the baby she'd given up.

His-And-Hers Family
By NancyCinNC
His-and-Hers Family (Harlequin Special Edition) by Helen Lacey
This is the third book in the series and again it deals with a very emotional issue. I hope I don't give away too much of the plot in my review.
In His and Hers Family we finally learn more about the baby that Fiona Walsh gave away at the tender age of 15. She grew up with a selfish addict of a Mother and a Father she never knew. When she becomes pregnant her Mother "if one could ever call her that" drops her off to live with a Great Uncle, where she is talked into giving the baby up in a closed adoption.
Wyatt Harper has felt a betrayal of his own. Cheated on by his finance he is very cautious about others. But he is just stunned when he comes face to face with Fiona Walsh. He heads up the family's business. He's attractive, caring, protective.
Wyatt Harper has done a thorough investigation into Fiona's background. But some secrets are best not found. He wants to make sure his young niece Cecily Todd is not hurt by the woman who gave her up for adoption 14 years ago. He did not plan on being so attracted to her. Wyatt has been made legal guardian of his young niece and she wishes to learn of her birth mother after the death of her parents.
When I said it was emotional that is an understatement. There are so many tears to this book. From Fiona's heartbreak, to the betrayal that Wyatt came face to face with. And just being able to bring a Mother and daughter back together and build on a relationship.
I can't say enough about this one. It truly is worth the read. But it will require some Kleenex's.
5/5 stars
I received an ARC of this book from the Author in exchange for an honest review.

Good
By SallMallReads
I hate to sound so critical and picky but after waiting 15 years to find her daughter the first thing Fiona can think of doing is being in control of how Wyatt and her would discuss things not about being very open and more friendly. She sends him off. She also fell in love a little too quickly, I think just a few days after meeting Wyatt.
TOO much of the word sensible used to describe people. If I remember correctly in this series, Evie was the one that was describe as the sensible one but this book kept mentioning this word and right when it seemed like I wouldn't have to read that word I see it a few paragraphs later. There's TOO MUCH of the word sensible in this series and I did get distracted by this word especially in this book. There's a fight between them later on in the story for which I understood her reason for being angry but the stuff that they said didn't justify those reasons. I like head strong heroines but sometimes the females in this series sometimes show strength that is a little annoying or actually a little similar to the type of mistakes they made in the past and want to avoid or contradicting to what they say they want to do.
I didn't like this one as much as the first two but it was still a good read. With the exception of the above, I still like the series. It is well written with a good plot flow that gives the environment created in Crystal Point a real life feel to it with real life events and emotions. I can't wait to read Grace and Cameron's story!

I love a guardian hero
By L Cusack
This book had it all - secret baby, drop-dead gorgeous guardian, delightful daughter and most importantly a turbulent and 'worth waiting for' romance and happily ever after. Crystal Point just gets better and better. I love these books!
