The Mommy Wish
Message in a Bottle
To Somebody:
I think they like each other.
Molly and my dad, I mean. He hasn't been Mr. Grumpy in a long time and he's only watched jeppardy once. I will let you no what happens...
Your friend, Phoebe Anne Norvald
Molly McBryde is happy to captain her ailing grandfather's sailboat down the eastern coast to Florida -- but playing make-believe mommy to one of the crew? A driven career woman like her? She'd be way out of her depth.
But as she gets to know Phoebe -- whose obsession with vacuum cleaners hides her yearning for a mom and a real home -- and her dad, Eric, the widower hired by Molly's grandfather to help run the boat, Molly has to admit that Phoebe's fantasy might just come true.
Provided Eric asks Molly to sign on as second mate!

Aunque este harlequín ganó el premio Romantic Times 2005 al «mejor Harlequin American», definitivamente NO es una de esas joyas escondidas del formato breve.
Molly McBryde, independiente, soltera, con un buen trabajo, posición social y que vive en la excitante ciudad de Chicago... con total incoherencia psicológica hace un giro de 180 º en su vida. De repente, decide que el trabajo no le dice nada, que quiere casarse, ser madre y tocar el arpa céltica.
Todo ello, porque conoce a un viudo, Eric Norvald, con nena, la Phoebe del título.
O sea, novela con niño, pueblo pequeño donde todo el mundo cotillea. Añádele un argumento lleno de azares improbables, conservadurismos viejunos y final muy deus ex machina para entender por qué me costó terminar la novela y no guardo buen recuerdo de ella.
Ya dije en el Rincón de la Novela Romántica que me parecía irrelevante y le puse 3/10. Hoy lo redondeo a 1 estrellita.
