About the Book
Suddenly a Daddy

The kind of man Eva Hubrecht, his boss's daughter, can trust. He knows Eva isn't happy about Jesse and Timmy coming to the Lost Dutchman Ranch, but the little boy soon starts to win her heart. Jesse can only hope that with time and patience, this rancher's daughter will find room in her life for him, too.

This book was a well loved library book that was reviewed.
“Finally a Hero” by
Pamela Tracy is the first book of her series 'The Rancher's
Daughters'. This was an alright book but had some problems at least
in my eyes.
I am going to start off
with what I enjoyed about the book. The writing itself was pretty
good for there wasn't anytime when I felt as if I was being bogged
down with useless details or left wondering about what was going on
because of too few details. The characters are complex with some
interesting back stories while one is not complex but that is okay
for it worked well. It was easy to like the different characters and
hard to pin point the bad guy right off. The story itself was great with one subject and lacking in another.
I love stories where
there is an ex-con who is trying to turn their life around and
honestly this was a great story in that aspect. So much is thrown at
the ex-con of the story that honestly, I think almost anyone would
have given up and taken off, but not this character. This character
stuck it out and of course as to be expected (and I am not saying
that in a bad way for I read fictional romance stories for the happy
ending) everything worked out perfectly for this
character. Things were cleared up, explained and dropped all the way
around.
What I, personally,
didn't care for was how unrealistic the story was. One character
went from distrust and not wanting the other character around due to
finances, and tired of dealing with people like this other character,
to suddenly in a few weeks to love without understanding really how
it got there. There was no chemistry between the two main characters
and no real interaction between the two main characters until the
last third of the book it seems. Then somehow in that last third of
the book a chemistry developed and interaction only increased
slightly.
All of the above problems
is why I didn't care for the book more. I love romances with the
happy ending, and that is why I read them. I can believe some love
at first sight stories that take place over a few weeks but that was
not the case with this story. I know that sometimes a sense of
realism needs to take a back burner enjoy a story after all they are
fictional stories so the author is given a lot of lee way but this
was more than that to me.
Again I enjoyed the story
of the ex-con for that was extremely well developed and everything
that happened in that story line felt has if it could happen, just
the romance aspect really fell short to me. I hope that those who
read the book enjoys it.
