BOOK OF THE DAY : His Brother's Baby by Blanche Marriott


by Blanche Marriott 





BOOK DESCRIPTION
Illegal cigars. Mistaken identity. Heated passion on a cold stormy night.

David Rutland has spent a lifetime covering for his errant twin brother and making things right. No more. Time for the irresponsible womanizer to grow up and face the music. But David isn't prepared for his world to be rocked when he meets the beautiful redhead who mistakes him for his missing brother. David doesn't know what's worse, deceiving his brother or deceiving this woman he's waited his entire life to find.

Gabriella Santori knows the meaning of a rock and a hard place. Lured by the big tipping Damien Rutland to save cigar bands for him at the cigar lounge where she works, she eventually realizes he's up to no good. She decides she's had enough and arranges a meeting to tell him, but she's taken back by the difference in him. He's not the creepy, macho, unnerving customer from the cigar lounge and before she knows it, she's smitten.

When Gabriella later discovers she's pregnant and learns that Damien is missing, she enlists David's help out of desperation. As the family waits for news of Damien's whereabouts, Gabriella can't help falling in love with the wrong brother...or is it? Must David forego the love of his life because of his twin's irresponsibility? And will they ever find his missing brother?


AUTHOR BIO



Blanche Marriott began writing romance novels in 1991 while balancing her career as a wood products manufacturing manager. She often joined the troops in the factory, working on sanders, drills, and saws. It gave her time to "talk" to the characters in her head and figure out what they would do next. In 2001 she switched careers and now works for a CPA firm as an accounting assistant, specializing in payroll.

She has completed 14 novels while staying active in 2 writing groups, serving on the Boards of Directors several times, and a number of conference committees. But the best part was the life-long friendships she's formed with so many writers, published and unpublished.

Her first published novel, KALEIDOSCOPE, won 2nd place in the 2003 WisRWA Write Touch Readers' Award for published authors. Her second book, WAY OUT WEST, won the prestigious New Jersey Romance Writers' 2003 Golden Leaf Award for Short Contemporary. WAY OUT WEST was also a finalist in the 2004 Virginia Romance Writers' HOLT Medallion Awards.

Her current novels are APRIL'S FOOL and HIS BROTHER'S BABY. She also has a non-fiction humor book, BORN TO BITCH, chronicling life's little annoyances.

Blanche lives in Rhode Island with her husband. She enjoys gardening, reading, and playing with her grandkids. You can visit her website, www.blanchemarriott.com, or email her at blanche@blanchemarriott.com, or follow her on Facebook (Blanche Marriott)


REVIEWS

5.0 out of 5 stars Different, Excellent, A page turner February 25, 2012
By REB
Format:Paperback
This Romance is unique and wonderful. The writer is a master as keeping us on tenterhooks, but we don't care because we can't stop reading anyway. Blanche Marriott has the golden touch when it comes to storytelling. This is not same old/same old, and what a refreshing change. I'll read anything she writes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent. January 23, 2012
Format:Paperback
Blanche Marriott is aces at taking a plot and turning it on its ear. You can't NOT keep reading to find out exactly how she's going to pull off Gabriella and David's--or Damien and Gabriella's--story. Enjoy. I certainly did. It's well written, timely, a bit of a mystery, and a wonderful addition to any library.

I downloaded this book before we lost electricity during Hurricane Irene and I's so glad I did. I loved how this author brought the characters alive. I hated to see the book come to an end. I'm an avid Harlequin reader and this book would have fit their line nicely. Loved it.
