No Longer Strangers


When zoologist Mitch Huntington agreed to be named in his best friends' will as guardian to their daughter, Emily Jane, he was sure it meant nothing more than pony rides, presents on birthdays, and an occasional day at the circus. Instead he finds himself up to his elbows in diapers and soggy oatmeal. While Mitch soon discovers that animal care and baby care are not the same thing, he quickly becomes totally devoted to the adorable little girl. But Cory Steele, Emily Jane's estranged aunt, will stop at nothing to rescue her niece from the clutches of this single Mormon man—even if it means pretending to join his strange church in order to gain his trust . . . and seize custody of the baby. Is Cory deceiving herself as much as she's trying to deceive Mitch? What's really in her heart? And what's best for Emily Jane? You've met Mitch's sister Amanda and read her gripping tale in the best-selling novel Winter Fire. Now Mitch's story will tug at your heartstrings as it explores the nature of commitment and selfless love.
This is a quick book to read. I have read it many times. I didn't realize until a few days ago, that it is part of a series. No I haven't read the first book "Winter Fire" of the Huntington Family Series. Luckily these books are written so you can read them together or as individuals, because they are stories about each Huntington's child adventures in finding love. I have ordered the third one and am waiting for it to arrive. I didn't know this when I ordered it, but now I am glad I did. I just have to find the 1st and 4th books of this series.

I remember reading this one. It was a good, quick read. I remember thinking that I cant believe there are people out there that can really lie this much.
Cant wait to read the other ones in the series.
