  <default-description>Jack Travis leads the uncomplicated life of a millionaire Texas playboy.&#160; He makes no commitments, he loves many women, he lives for pleasure.&#160; But no one has ever truly touched his heart or soul.&#160; Until one day, a woman appears on his doorstep with fury on her face and a baby in her arms.&#160; It seems Jack is the father and this woman is the baby&#8217;s aunt. The real mother has abandoned the child to her more responsible sister.&#160; And now, Jack is being called upon to take responsibility for the first time in his life.&#160; With delicious romantic tension, characters so real they walk onto the page and into your heart, Lisa Kleypas delivers the kind of novel that makes you laugh, love; cry and cheer.&#160; </default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the third book in Kleypas's Travis quartet. This series has marked her debut into contemporary romances. Before &quot;Sugar Daddy,&quot; Kleypas specialized in historical romances, earning numerous awards. Her foray into contemporary romances has been nothing short of splendid. The quartet g...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64161811">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was an amazing book! I've read all three of Lisa Kleypas contemporaries and this one was my favorite of all. The story does not bore you with unnecessary details or secondary characters, it just grabs you from the very first page and each chapter leaves you in wonder what will happen next.

    <body><![CDATA[Like vanilla ice cream.  Predictable, but in an classic, satisfying way.<br/><br/>No big conflict, drama, surprise, and that could leave you feeling a little empty handed at the end (depending on what you wanted from the read).  But!  On the plus side, a whole lot of sweet falling in love going on...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52715373">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this book to the fullest. It is a chick - lit but it has substance.<br/>I would also have to rate it 18+ as there are steamy moments written in detail!<br/><br/>Situated in Houston, Tx. A story of a young woman who gets a call from her mother telling her to come pick up her 6 day old ne...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54685274">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love books by Lisa Kleypas, but this one was such a disappointment to me. Very rarely is there a heroine that I can relate to: one who doesn't want marriage or children. But then some miracle man and a kid get dropped into Ella's life and by the end of the book she's wanting life with the kid and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53409022">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Smooth Talking Stranger is yet again another great story in Kleypas Contemporary Romance. Jack Travis is the most easy-going of all the Travis men but he can also be quite obsessive and stubborn. He has never settled for one woman because they always seem to want him for his money or his name, until...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57374186">more...</a>]]></body>
