Ugh. The hero was good, I liked Wyatt, but there was absolutely no relationship between him and Claire - other than some random sex sparks. His relationship with Nicole, the sister was much more in depth, but she was so obnoxious I couldn't figure out why anyone would like her or want to work for her. She and Claire had tons of baggage which wasn't ever really resolved. Oh Nicole said she was sorry, sort of, but then basically her being a total bitch to her sister - and telling everyone she knew (who had never even met Claire and weren't likely to) how Claire was so awful was all excused because Nicole's just bitchy, but it's cute. Ugh ugh. ANd obviously, from this review you can see that way more time was spent on Nicole in this book (and Nichole and Wyatt) than Claire. 
 I'm also remembering that there are too many savants in Mallery's Fool's Gold series also. I stopped reading them because too many characters had unusual backgrounds - like Claire. The women are all complete odd-balls so the men not only need to be boyfriends/lovers but also have to teach them how to navigate the real world. In this case, the hero and his deaf 8yo daughter, who of course knew how to cook and do laundry (yeah, right!), but could also communicate perfectly well with someone who didn't know any sign language. 
 I won't be reading the rest of this series and probably won't dip into anymore Fool's Gold either.
