An Unexpected Family Angie Bursten wants to find love on her own timeline. Tired of her family's interference, coworker Rick Jameson comes to the rescue--as her pretend boyfriend. Angie starts to spend time with Rick and his adorable daughter, Carly, and what began as a hoax soon feels all too real. Betrayed by the woman he'd married, single dad Rick is slow to trust. But seeing Angie with Carly, he can't ignore the way he feels for his beautiful coworker. And when Angie helps Rick with the toughest battle of his life--gaining full custody of his child--there'll be no more pretending. If they can open their hearts, Rick and Angie have a real shot at happily-ever-after. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The title was a bit confusing to me when I stopped to think about it. It almost makes it sound like either Carly (the child) was looking for a mother to love her or that Rick (Carly's father) was looking for a mother for his daughter. (Instead of it being a romance between Rick and Angie.)
There is also the complication of Glenda (Carly's mother) seeming to be more wrapped up in her work than she is with parenting her daughter. (And, as we find later, more wrapped up in her new love than in spending time with her daughter.).
It's a catch 22 for Glenda, I guess. She's trying to be a single parent who needs to work to support herself and her daughter. But this means that Carly is in day care much of the day and then Carly reports her mother often tells her to play by herself with quiet activities such as puzzles. When you add in that Glenda needs to find time for this relationship with John from Germany . . . a man who doesn't sound thrilled about parenthood or children from the little we learn of him.
On the other hand, I know that it's easier for the parent who only sees the child a limited amount of time to be considered "the fun parent" because he/she plans activities to do with the child and spends time with the child with minimum of disciplining.
I admire Rick for fighting to keep his daughter in the US instead of just letting Glenda have her way and take Carly to Germany. He is correct when he says the courts tend to favor the mother. (
