McTavish and Twins

Mike McTavish was a bit slow on the uptake, he had no idea that his orphaned twin niece (Laura) and nephew (Matthew) were being treated badly by Caroline, even though other people had told him what she was like, he thought they were judging her because of her father, but she was a chip off of the old block(head). It made me wonder if he had a permanent memory loss as to how his parents were when he was a child. The twins run away at the beginning of the book, because Caroline (Mike's bride-to-be)cut Laura's hair, Matthew had turned shy because he had lost his parents, his home, and now they where being mistreated by Caroline at every turn. Mike didn't notice this, but it took Erin O'Connell only a few minutes to not only understand the kids fears but just what they were up against. So Erin went to battle.

She was surely just a gold digger? Why else would Erin O'Connell come back to Australia to live with ther grandfather? Mike McTavish was convinced she was only out for what she could get- but when he saw Erin handle his orphaned twin niece and nephew so tenderly, he began to doubt his own conclusions, particularly when he compared Erin with his fiancee, Caroline. Mike wasn't sure Carloine really cared for the children, who definately didn't care for her. But having commited himself to the engagement, how could he back out honorably? Even if not to do so would mean heartache for himself, Erin, and and the children....
