Baby, I'm Yours

My first by this author and a genre i tend to avoid but this book was entertaining. The characters are engaging, the dialogue witty and the plot not overly absurd. I think I will try more by Ms Andersen

This was my very first Susan Anderson novel and I was REALLY impressed. This book was so easy to read, so enjoyable. The main character is Catherine MacPherson, who is mistaken for her twin sister Kaylee. Kaylee has skipped bail, and Sam McCade is the penny pinching bail enforcer (aka "bail boy" or "bounty hunter") who has come to claim her. Sam takes Catherine on a wild and sometimes dangerous but always hilarious journey from Seattle to Miami. At first, Catherine is outraged and does everything she can to foil Sam's mission, but as feelings grow between her and Sam she finds a different part of herself - the spontaneous and carefree side of her personality that she has kept inside until now. Meanwhile, her twin sister Kaylee, who is the exact opposite, is finding the part of herself which is honorable and sensible. Wow, the romance and the hot sex scenes alone make this a book you just can't put down. The subplots and the humor make it irresistable. Kaylee's character kind of annoyed me at first, but then I found myself grudgingly liking her. My favorite line is in the epilogue where Kaylee is comparing men to well laid kitchen floors .... Loved it! I would definitely recommend this book, and I can't wait to read more by Susan Anderson.

Between this book and "Be My Baby", Andersen has gone on my automatic buy list. There are very few writers who can pen a hero as well as Andersen. In fact, only Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Linda Howard come to mind. I was shocked to see some of the bad reviews this book took on this site. "Baby I'm Yours" is a fresh, innovative, sexy, hilarious, light-hearted romantic comedy. If you like to laugh, and if you enjoy reading about feisty, quirky heroines who bring strong, primal males to heel, then this is the book to purchase. There's nothing quite as nice for a reading enthusiast as finding an author who can make you smile.

I've never read anything by Susan Anderson before, but if "Baby I'm Yours" is an indicator of how she writes, I'll be snapping up all of her books without a second thought. I especially like the cover art on her books. They are snappy and sharp and suit her writing style. I like how Anderson situates normal people like Catherine MacPherson and Sam McKade into her novels and bases her story not on an overly fantastic plot, but more a journey of two people who fall in love. I find that a lot of romance novels get caught up in the setting, regency England, for example and the history of the period and completely lose the characters. Without giving away too much of the novel, this is a writer not to be missed!

This is one romance that comes so easily. Cat and Sam are two characters who matched perfectly. The book really entertaining and 5 hours just seemed like a blink while I read it, laughing, giggling, most of the time. And it is hot too, you know!

"Baby I'm Yours" is a lot more entertaining than the other book "Be My Baby". BIY keeps you guessing on Cat's next smart move. And in the end you have to give her credit for her ingenuity, forget the weak, cry baby female character, Cat is what I want in a heroine. It's easy to laugh along. I fell in love instantly to both Sam and Cat and took pity to Sam's frustration dealing with the resourceful Cat. The secondary characters, Bobby and Kaylee - Cat's twin sister are given enough portion for us to know and like them, and a sweet love story of their own. Susan Andersen really knows how to balance the actions among the characters. Keep up the good work.
