Read in June, 2011

Overall, I liked this book, but it sure had a lot of weak points--primarily any part involving a very poorly developed and uninteresting character named Daisy who is badly in need of a personality transplant. Since Daisy's out-of-wedlock pregnancy takes up much of the book (wow, imagine any guy who would have such poor taste as to screw Daisy, yuck, guess he has a thing for empty headed blow-up dolls) that means there is a whole lot of parts with the boring Daisy stuff detracting badly from the way more interesting story about her father and an old flame getting another chance at love. Thus, this book is difficult to rate. The 4-star rating is what I would have given the book if I had taken my scissors and cut out all the boring Daisy parts--which is what any half-way decent editor should have done. It was a while ago that I read the first book in the series, but I seem to remember the Uncle Greg subplots being an annoying distraction from that main story, but in this book, Uncle Greg is better developed and more engaging than in the first.
