I personally hated DAISY'S BACK IN TOWN with a passion and would give it less than one star if it were possible. It was poorly written, the characters were not very well developed and the secondary characters grated on my nerves. There were too many holes in the story and the love scenes were weird to say the least. The back cover promised a fun read with hints of pink plastic flamingos, crazy relatives and muscle cars. Some poor publisher was obviously stretching the truth in hopes of selling a book that shouldn't have made it to the presses in the first place.

Daisy had several opportunities to tell Jack about their son. Instead, she was a coward for fifteen years and couldn't bring herself to say anything to him. When she finally went home to visit Lovett, Texas she flirted with Jack and she managed to seduce him, but up until the day she was leaving town she didn't say a single thing about their child. By the time I hit PAGE 193 in the book, I was irritated and ready to slam it against the wall. THE KID is the one who finally reveals himself to Jack. Keep in mind this is not a baby either. Nathan (said kid) is a snot-nosed, punk hair wearing teenager with an attitude.

Did I mention the worst part? Daisy's husband was Jack's best friend. They married when she was pregnant with Jack's baby and took off to start a new life together in Seattle.

There is no valid excuse for Daisy's withholding of the child - Jack is not a bad guy. In fact, Daisy is still very much in love with Jack.

This book wreaks of immorality and promotes stereo-types that women have been trying to break down for centuries. Maybe I am annoyed because I have worked in family law and have dealt with a few cases like this. Yes, it makes sense to hide the identity of a child if biological daddy is a child molestor or is dangerous or was abusive. But the hero is this book was a Very Nice Guy who treated Daisy with respect. He was a gentleman. The minute he was made aware he had a child, he instantly tried to bond with his son. He went out of his way to spend every available moment he could with that kid. Jack's internal thoughts about missing out on his son's toddler years were heart-wrenching. It made me wish Daisy would get run over by one of those muscle cars or stabbed by a pink flamingo.

Hated this book! Don't waste your money on it.(less)

Rachel Gibson, as previous reviews may also have indicated, follows a clichéd storyline with slight variations that features two independent adults who get into a relationship purely because of sex, but ‘accidentally’ fall in love. However, they continue to live in denial till a major conflict drives them apart only to bring them together forever once the problem is solved. Her books are funny but predictable. Nevertheless, they are highly addictive for some romance junkies like me.
Initially, I was very excited to read Daisy’s back in town for two reasons – a) it was the one RG book I couldn’t find ANYWHERE and b) it was my favorite plot – High-school-sweethearts-reunite-and-live-happily-ever-after. Sadly, it failed to live up to my expectations.
He loves me not.

Daisy Lee Monroe thought she’d brushed the dust of Lovett, Texas, off her high-heeled shoes years ago, but she’s come back home only to find that little has changed. Her sister is still crazy, and her mom still has pink plastic flamingos in her front yard. And Jackson Lamott Parrish, the bad boy she left behind, is still so sexy it hurts. She’d like nothing better than to avoid this particular man, but she can’t. Daisy has something to say to Jackson, and she’s not going anywhere until he listens.
He loves her not.
Jackson learned his lesson about Daisy the hard way, and now the only word he’s interested in hearing from Daisy’s red lips is good-bye. But she’s popping up everywhere, and he doesn’t believe in coincidence. It seems the only way to keep her quiet is with his mouth, but kissing Daisy had once been his downfall. Is he strong enough to resister her now? Strong enough to watch her walk out of his life again? Is he strong enough to make her stay?
Daisy, who had departed young, naïve and heartbroken comes back a lady; confident, accomplished and definitely not heartbroken. She has a business to run and a sixteen year old son to look after who, incidentally, shares the same genes as Jackson, her ex-flame from fifteen years ago. Jackson hates Daisy with a passion, and why wouldn’t he, she ran off with her best friend/his brother, while he was busy being an insensitive jerk on account of his parents sudden death. Now, with the brother conveniently dead, ‘Daisy’s back in town’ to tell Jack the truth about their son and bear all punishments like a self sacrificing, helpless maiden who hasn’t heard of a lawyer, EVER. From then on, they crash into each other too frequently, engage in not-so-friendly banters and deal with sexual frustration all the time.
In the end, after reading a long lost letter, from his dead brother Stephen, Jack comes to his senses and finally accepts Daisy, who for a change isn’t groveling at his feet. Jack definitely has a LOT of anger issues that remain unacknowledged.
“Mom”, Nathan called to her.
Daisy pulled her gaze from the tent and the fleeting glimpse of Jack’s bare back, the smooth planes and indent of his spine, the sliver of the white elastic just above the blue waistband of his jeans.
“Hmm?”
“ What’s a faaar ant?” he asked just above a whisper.
“ Fire.”
She chuckled and shook her head.
“Fire ant. They have a nasty bite that burns.”
Nathan smiled. “Well, why didn’t he just say fire?”
“ He thinks he did.”
The only scene that was remotely likeable was their picnic to the riverside. It was funny how, without even trying, they managed to behave and look like a happy little family. Jack catches a fish and bonds with his son and they together make fun of Daisy. It was believable, unlike the rest of the book, and a refreshing break from their usual fights.
Not the best book by Rachel Gibson but worth a read.

This is a hard novel to read at times. The secret baby plot is a lot harder to swallow here, because the baby in question isn't really a baby - he's 15. For me, it's easy to forgive and forget when the heroine doesn't tell the hero right away about a baby, but only if it's cleared up early on. It's a lot harder to justify after 15 years of silence.

The secret baby plot is a lot harder to swallow here, because the baby in question isn't really a baby - he's 15. For me, it's easy to forgive and forget when the heroine doesn't tell the hero right away about a baby, but only if it's cleared up early on. It's a lot harder to justify after 15 years of silence.

I remember having an argument with a friend about Daisy's actions several years ago. She couldn't accept that Daisy had kept her son a secret for so long. I, on the other hand, understood Daisy's reasons for not telling him in the beginning. I also understood how the longer she went without telling, the easier it was not to. I can't say I agree with it or condone it, but I understand.

On the night of Jack's parent's funeral, Daisy and Steven confronted him to tell him they'd gotten married - leaving out the part about the baby.

15 years go by. Steven dies and Daisy realizes she must tell Jack the truth about their son. She goes back to Lovett, TX (her hometown, where Jack still lives) to tell Jack the news, leaving Nathan (her son) behind in Seattle. All along Daisy always thought she did the right thing by not telling Jack, something Steven always fed into. But once she's back she realizes she made a mistake - that she robbed both Jack and Nathan of a relationship.

I think one of the reasons this works for me is that Daisy realizes she made a mistake and tries her best to make it right. She doesn't let Jack run all over her, but she understands his anger.

Jack is one of those over-the-top alphas who oozes sexual menace. While that can be off-putting in a lot of ways, it really worked here. I can't exactly say why it worked, but it did. His anger at Daisy is completely and totally justified, as is his anger at Steven. When he realizes the enormity of their betrayal..well, my heart broke for him. Not only did he lose the woman he loved and his son, but he lost his best friends as well.

Watching Daisy and Jack move forward with their lives and come back together was really hard at times. I wanted them to work things out, but I wasn't sure how Jack could let go of his anger. I worried that the resolution would come too easily, or that the true conflict would be brushed aside. But that wasn't the case. Gibson did a credible job of showing us how that anger can eat at a person.

Although parts of this novel are tough to get through, it's well worth reading. The characters individual struggles and hardships just make them that much more rounded and believable. (less)

Have I said before .. Rachel Gibson can write a tale? I know, so much it makes you nauseous, but it is true.

This is my first of her Lovett Texas series and I loved it. I can relate to Texas more than I can the northwest; Washington State is another of her venues. This book had the classic car loving Jack. He was a gear head from birth. He and Steven had a third best friend, Daisy. These three were like “three peas in a pod” throughout their childhood. Both Jack and Steven were in love with Daisy but Jack was winning… Then, tragedy strikes on several fronts. Jack’s world was upside down. Daisy gets clingy and he needs some distance from her. Daisy needed Jack in the worst way and when he pushed her away, she didn’t know what to do and turned to Steven, their best friend. Steven was leaving to attend college in Washington State. He and Daisy ran away to get married and left Jack.

Skip ahead 15 years. Steven has died – long bout of illness with terminal brain cancer. Daisy comes back to Lovett to make peace with Jack and the rest folks, is stuff of Texas legend. How do these two end up together? Well, it sure wasn’t easy. Just ask Daisy.

**Spoiler Alert START**
I do have an issue with waiting 15 years to tell a man he has a child when everyone else in the whole blamed world knows it. Even the child [teen-age] knows it and has from the time he was little. He was caught completely unaware. He was madder than a dog stung by a bee, but he had every reason to be. I don’t see how they could have gotten past this whopper. I wondered, if Steven hadn’t died, would she have told Jack anything. She said the timing was never right. Would it have ever been right?

If I wanted to get hung up on the story, and I very easily could have, I would lower my rating to 2 stars or less, just to make a point. The way Daisy and Steven handled the baby was wrong no matter how you looked at it. No way to convince yourself it was “the right thing to do” to keep the knowledge of this child from Jack. It would have been Jack’s choice, what he did with the information. It was just so much easier this way. Very screwed up.
**Spoiler Alert STOP**
I’m through with my rant and will leave my 4 star rating alone.

Another really good Rachel Gibson read. I’m on to read the next in the Writer’s series. Starts with the “walk of shame”, and ladies, who out there can say they haven’t had this experience?

Happy Reading!!

Quotes from Daisy's Back in Town

“Mom," Nathan called to her.

Daisy pulled her gaze from the tent and the fleeting glimpse of Jack's bare back, the smooth planes and indent of his spine, the sliver of the white elastic just above the blue waistband of his jeans..."Hmm?"

"What's a faaar ant?" he asked just above a whisper.

"Fire." She chuckled and shook her head. "Fire ant. They have a nasty bite that burns."

Nathan smiled. "Well, why didn't he just say fire?"

"He thinks he did.” — 16 people liked it

“I know about safe sex," Nathan said, interrupting Jack's thoughts.

Jack swallowed. "That's good." He smiled at his son, vastly relieved that there would be no hard questions about his own sex life.

"What I want to know is..." Nathan stole a quick look back at the tent. "Where is the clitoris exactly?"

Jack's smile fell and he opened his mouth. No words came out so he closed it.

Nathan had no problem forming his words, though. "And what the heck is a G-spot?” — 14 people liked it
