Crystal Creek #17: Shameless

From the Back...A suprising homecoming--It had been years since Rio Langley'd called Crystal Creek home. He'd always felt like an outsider there, anyway. And the flooding reflections of what he'd had--and what he'd missed--would always haunt him. But he wouldn't be around long. He'd come back simply to fix up his mama's old place, sell it and head back up to Wyoming. Then a baby landed on his doorstep and turned his head. And he was a goner.In my Opinion...I truly enjoyed this story. Rio is a deeply caring man with a lot of love to get. He has had some hard knocks in life, but he did not let that stop him. Rio falls in love with baby Emily and is determined to find her parents before she is put into foster care. Maggie, is a social worker and she knows that she should take Emily and put her in foster care, but she can't. Maggie cares for Rio more than she should. She does not want to hurt him, so she decides to help him as much as she can. Rio, Maggie, and Emily become a little family. The need to find the truth, however, before their family is blown apart. This was a great addition to the Crystal Creek series.
