Amanda has been cut off. Cut off for good from her Daddys fortunes and left to rot in Hicksville USA. Well, Cuttersville Ohio if you want to get technical, and she only has $54 left to her name after Daddy closes down all her credit cards. Therefore, Amanda must do the unthinkable: get a jobsoon.
Danny Tucker is a simple guy. Farms his land, does part time construction, has a nice house and is pretty happyif a little lonely. Until the fateful day when Piper arrives on his doorstep.
After coming in from the field to a black pickup truck in his driveway, Danny gets the shock of his life. He has a daughter, an eight-year old daughter that he never knew about. Her stepfather dumps her on Dannys door and takes off. What the heck is Danny going to do with an eight-year old?
Matters dont get any better when Piper becomes attached to Amanda for some unknown reason. But things turn out ok when Amanda mentions shes looking for a job. Not only does Danny get some childcare, but he gets to ogle Amanda day in and day out. What could be better?
Slowly the feelings of lust Danny and Amanda have for each other blossom into something else. Something better and foreign to both of them. Piper becomes a beloved member of their off-kilter family, and Amanda needs to make a choice: Beg her Daddy to take her back, or stay in Hicksville. Oh the decisions.
Ok so the plot leaves something to be desired. I recognize that. I didnt have high hopes when I picked this book up in all honesty. But I was hooked from the first page. This is definite Chicklit at its best. I was instantly drawn to Amanda, Danny, and Piper. I loved their relationships, and even though the book is not long, McCarthy has a gift for developing a deep relationship between her characters in very few words.
I gobbled up Heiress for Hire. Dare I say it was even better than Little Lady Agency which I reviewed so favorably? Bottom line is this was a quick and heartwarming read which leaves me very sad that theres not a sequel.
