About the author
Susan Meier
615 books456 followersGood morning! It's a beautiful sunny beginning to the day here in Western, Pennsylvania. I'm working on my 75th book. 75th! I'm very excited about that.
I've written some fun things ... those are the Silhouette Romance titles. I especially liked SNOWBOUND BABY which was book 3 of the Bryant Baby Bonanza series which also included BABY BEFORE BUSINESS and PRINCE BABY. But my favorites for Silhouette where the books of the Brewster Baby Boom series THE BABY BEQUEST, BRINGING UP BABIES and OH, BABIES! Where three bachelors inherit triplets. Those were fun to write. I go back every now and again and read them myself for a laugh!
My Harlequins are a little (sometimes a lot) more serious than my Silhouettes, but I always deliver a heart warming story that reminds readers that family and love go hand in hand.
You'll especially see that in FALLING FOR THE PREGNANT HEIRESS where Trent Sigmund decides to help his best friend Seth's baby sister Sabrina McCallan hunt down her on-again/off-again boyfriend, Pierre, to tell him he's about to be a father. Trent tries not to fall. So does Sabrina. Who knew real love had been in their backyard all along.
Sexy or sweet, funny or sad, my characters make some serious lemonade out of their lemons! :)
Because that's how I see life. I have three kids...one of whom has epilepsy. Raising him taught me (and my husband and our other two kids) that sometimes a situation that seems bad can have its blessings.

Very good book. The second Hinton heir has been found. Charlotte is well aware of who her father is and has no interest in claiming any part of his estate. She resents the way he abandoned her and her mother, breaking her mother's heart. Charlotte grew up determined that no man would have that kind of power over her.
I liked Charlotte from the beginning. She works in construction and has the respect of the men who work for her. She is independent and confident in who she is. When Jace appears to give her the news, she doesn't exactly jump for joy. It was fun to watch her push back against his plans and insist on doing things her way.
I liked Jace in the previous book (Cinderella's Billion-Dollar Christmas). He's steady and able to handle any crisis. I had to laugh at his confusion over Charlotte's reaction to the news of her possible inheritance. He is just as determined as Charlotte, and their back-and-forth over the issue was fun to watch.
Underneath the sparks of antagonism are sparks of another kind. Neither Jace nor Charlotte welcomes the flare of attraction. Jace was burned in the past. First, he was betrayed by his wife, making it difficult for him to trust. Then he made a mistake with a client that makes him even more determined to keep his distance from Charlotte. Meanwhile, Charlotte wants nothing to do with a man who has such a close connection to her father.
I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop. As her bodyguard, Jace is with Charlotte 24/7. It doesn't take long for them to discover how much they have in common. I loved watching them bond over mac and cheese, and Charlotte's look at what his job entails. The scene with Seth Simon was hilarious. The feelings between them grow, and I ached for both of them as they struggled with what to do. Things looked quite promising during the trip to Scotland, but an unexpected twist sent Charlotte fleeing back home. I liked the kick in the pants that gave Jace the motivation he needed to go after her. I loved his big moment at the end. It was both romantic and fun.
The scenes in Scotland and the epilogue were a great lead-in to the final book in the trilogy. I did not expect that revelation and can't wait to see how it turns out.

Are you looking for a wonderful afternoon read? Then book 2 in The Missing Manhattan Heirs series is the perfect choice. I read this in one sitting; once I started, I couldn’t put it down. The Bodyguard and the Heiress, will put a smile in your heart. I love Jace MacDonald and Charlotte Fillion, they are such a fun couple. Each have their own set of baggage and it’s fun to see how they figure out now to pack it up. What I love most about Susan Meier’s books is the joy your heart feels as you take the journey with characters that come to life. Love this book.

I appreciate a book that portrays a billionaire as selfish and unconcerned about the feelings of others.
