4 1/2 Stars

Romantic comedy has a rising star and her name is Shirley Jump.  In THE DADDY'S PROMISE (4 and a half stars, TOP PICK!) pregnant Anita has just moved to small town Mercy, Indiana. Her only friend, ex-boss Luke, is putting his life back together after a business failure and his wife's death. Anita adorably defies convention in several fresh and interesting ways and Luke has a few surprises of his own. Jump winningly conveys their chemistry and her deft touch with humor shines through. In the end, this is a smart and satisfying book about family, the one you're born into and the one you make for yourself.
