I'm sorry, but I found the novel mostly boring and the main character unlikable.

For a book that screams "She doesn't need a man" about the protagonist, Miranda Steele comes across as an adolescent stuck between 'boys have cooties', while at the same time thinking only of (quoting) 'the luscious lips' of the other guy. For chapters. When she is not thinking about sexy detective, she is having fistfights with every cupboard sized 'evil' man and woman in town (there is a lot of them, apparently).

Then there is (sexy) detective Wade Parker and the 'I just met her in prison, she is accused of murder, but I know she is different!'. Of course, the rest of the world cannot see how special Miranda is, never mind that she behaves aggressively and unreasonably or that she manages to be insulting every time she opens her mouth ('I don't need a piece of paper to feel gratified' when she is asked about her studies in a job interview...)

What saved the book was the fact I jumped directly from chapter 15 or so to 29, where the "languid eyes phase" between the two protagonist was mostly over and we finally got back into the story. ( )

Good writing. She is witty and has some good one liners. Only got a 3 star because I felt the core plot was a little unbelievable. Really, a letter that randomly said “I was adopted, help?” And they were able to make the connection to her? But I will probably read the second one because overall it was an enjoyable, fast read.

Miranda is on a quest to find her missing daughter. But the daughter was taken from her as a baby; she’d be a teenager by now. And Miranda doesn’t even know if she’d have anything to offer her—just wants to know that she’s okay. Then she learns of a missing teenage girl who just might have been adopted in the right place at the right time, and she has to know more.

Someone Else’s Daughter by Linsey Lanier is filled with fascinating detail, making Miranda a truly different and intriguing character. “…patience… had never been her strong suit.” But fighting, working hard and working out… this once-abused woman is no shrinking violet now. She works on the roads, holds her own with the guys, is stubborn and learns well. So if somebody takes her in hand and trains her… she might find lots of people’s daughters and more.

Sensually direct, never sweet, and filled with contrasts and humor, Someone Else’s Daughter combines exciting action with intriguing mystery and sets the scene for more stories to come. It would make for great TV!

Disclosure: I got it on a deal and I enjoyed it. ( )
