I loved It

This is the 6th in the Barone Series and is Alex Barone's story. He is a navy pilot on leave and meets waitress Daisy at rival Conti's restaurant. He is immediately attracted to her even though she is 9 months pregnant. When Daisy goes into labor at the restaurant, Alex whisks her over to his nurse sister Rita's apartment and she delivers Daisy's baby. Alex stays and talks to Daisy during the delivery and she names the baby girl, Angel. Alex is immediately enthralled by mother and baby and cannot believe some man let them go. He doesn't understand his feelings because he was jilted by his fiance several years ago and has not had a serious relationship since. Something about Daisy gets to his heart and he finds himself spending all of his leave time with her and the baby. Daisy is falling in love with Alex, but cannot believe a rich Barone would be interested in a poor waitress. Also, she has trouble trusting men after Angel's father left them. Daisy is sure when his leave is up, Alex will forget all about her and Angel. This is a sweet story and I liked seeing the sensitive loving side of this Italian hunk. Don't miss this one.

Good story

When waitress Daisy Cusak goes into labor at work, handsome Alex Barone steps in to save the day. Alex gets Daisy to his sister's house (his sister is a nurse) and then assists in the birth of Daisy's daughter. Alex is so captivated by Daisy and her daughter that he spends most of his leave from the Navy with them. Soon, Alex and Daisy find themselves falling in love. They both have baggage from previous relationships that makes them hesitant to get seriously involved again. The story is good but there are several mistakes in the writing. First Daisy has chestnut hair then blond hair then chestnut again. Alex pours her a glass of water but she gulps wine. Nothing major but I found it distracting.
