A Date with Dr. Frankenstein

Masters Brothers #1

by Leanne Banks

Is He Dr. Dreamdate?

Congratulations, Andie Reynolds! You know why the local kids call your neighbor Dr. Frankenstein. He never emerges from his big old house and spends most of his time concocting explosive experiments. When you went to visit, you half expected to be greeted by a mad scientist. Instead, you found yourself gazing at a pint-size version of the good doctor himself.

And what a good-looking doctor, too! It's hard to resist Eli Masters and his adorable little boy, but resist you must. They will only lead to heart trouble--the kind no medicine can cure....

She believes in creating stories for her readers that will allow them to escape into a place filled fun, emotion and sensuality.

She is grateful for awards and reviews and was particularly moved by a letter from a reader remarking that Leanne's book got her through a chemotherapy session.

I have to say I enjoyed the sequel of this book more than this. The hero is a scientist who has been granted the full custody of his son after his ex-wife's death and he is trying to be the best father but science comes easy to him than reaching a grieving five year old. Their neighbour is the heroine, a nurse who is a nurturer, that is how she defines herself since she is always taking care of people and kids. She raised her three siblings and then it turned out her ex-fiancée used her skill with kids to cheat on her by having his daughter stay with her, so the last thing she needs is to be attracted to another man especially one who is a single father. Since the heroine's heartbreak was relatively fresh I felt she blew a bit hot and cold, friendly one moment and then second guessing things a moment later which annoyed me. She was quite ashamed of how she had been duped so didn't tell the hero who was falling quite fast for her. I did feel for most of the book that the hero was more invested in her but overall a nice book.

Es buena la historia y el romance, el problema que tuve fue que el final me pareció algo incompleto, no quede conforme porque pudo ser muchísimo mejor en ese aspecto.
