Double Dare - Christine Rimmer Casey Clinton was in a bind. Custody courts didn't favor single fathers, and he seemed perilously close to losing his beloved nephew. What he needed was a wife. And since his childhood buddy Joanna Vail had always stood by his side through thick and thin, why shouldn't she stand beside him at the alter too? Long-standing loyalty demanded Joanna wed Casey...something completely different drew her to his bed. But adult urges upset childhood chumminess, and emotions more daring than mere desire threatened their camaraderie. Had Joanna gone and fallen in love with her husband? And could either admit their commitment had more than a practical purpose? Molly Darling -Laurie Paige THE LADY, THE COWBOY.AND HIS BABY Prim, proper nursery-school teacher Molly Clelland had never met a parent like Sam Frazier. The man was as rugged and forbidding as the land he ranched. Yet his darling infant daughter.she could turn Sam to putty. That fierce paternal love melted Molly's heart. So when scandal threatened Sam's custody of little Lass, a marriage of convenience made her Lass's loving mom. But would sexy Sam ever make the straitlaced schoolmarm his blushing, breathless bride? THAT'S MY BABY! Sometimes bringing up baby can bring surprises - and showers of love.

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Romance, Fiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

Best when you want to settle into a longer reading experience.

Begin with its place in Romance, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. What must each character learn before the relationship can become believable?
  2. How do work, family, friendship, or identity shape the central relationship?
  3. Does the emotional resolution feel earned by the choices that came before it?
