My One and Only
Abigail Lee, the beautiful assistant to Harrison Montgomery, walks into Ethan Maddux's law office. With obvious attraction, Ethan wonders what she could possibly be doing in here. But when Abigail tells him that Harrison is in trouble, and needs his help, what is Ethan suppose to do? Ethan hasn't talked to his father in years nor does he want to, and so he definitely doesn't want to help him save his business. Will this woman convince Ethan to help his father, salvage their relationship, and maybe create a new one of her own?

Abby tracks down Ethan to save his estranged family's fortune, in the process uncovering the truth behind her own parents' murder. What the heck was this book? It seriously started as a four-star book and lost a star about every 100 pages. At the beginning, nice characterizations, intriguing plot (lifted pretty much exactly from Jayne Ann Krentz's Family Man, but if it ain't broke...), cute drama. A third of the way in, I started thinking of the plot as a connect-the-dots puzzle with about a quarter of the dots unconnected. So you could definitely see the gestalt, but it was annoying that there were little breaks (facts that came out of nowhere, inconsistencies and contradictions, and plot points and character traits suddenly dropped). The last third broke down completely. The mystery was ridiculous AND solved too early and the relationship resolution was inexplicable. At the last page, it felt like the product of three different authors being given a vague plot and told to write the beginning, middle, and end of a book without reading each other's work.

Abby Lee is working in Chicago for Harrison Montgomery. When his company appears to be going bankrupt, Abby approaches Ethan Maddux in CA - Harrison's estranged illegitimate son. Ethan and Harrison have never gotten along since he went to live near Harrison as a child, just prior to his mother's death. Abby is raising her younger sister Rachel after her parents were murdered in their restaurant. They fall hard for each other, but the secrets of his family's past and their connection to Abby's parents and their murder must all be cleared up before everyone can live happily ever after.
Fun story.

it was really ok for me. I finished it about two days ago, and already don't remember much of it. great for a time pass, though.
