Book Description
Location: north of the Arctic Circle. Population: 150 (mostly men!) But the three O'Halloran brothers, who run a bush-plane charter service called Midnight Sons, are heading a campaign to bring women to town. Daddy's Little Helper: Mitch Harris is a friend of the O'Hallorans, and he's responsible for law and order in Hard Luck. He's also the widowed father of a little girl—although he never talks about his marriage. But it's not long before seven-year-old Chrissie decides that her new teacher, Bethany Ross, is the perfect candidate for wife and mom! Because of the Baby: Matt Caldwell, Charles O'Halloran's brother-in-law, is an easygoing charmer, still in love with his ex-wife. Karen's still in love with him, too. Her reaction to him the night of his sister's wedding certainly proved that. It also left her pregnant.… Now Matt wants her to marry him again—and not just because of the baby! "[Debbie Macomber] puts a new twist on the small-town romance." - Publishers Weekly

2 cutes stories in one...the 2nd installment of the Hard Luck series, Aug 12 2009
By Laura B - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Midnight Sons Volume 2: Daddy's Little Helper\Because of the Baby (Paperback)
This is a republish of Family Men: Daddy's Little Helper/Because of the Baby (Midnight Sons Series 3-4).Daddy's Little Helper
Mitch is a single dad raising a precocious little girl. He is a widow and not looking to remarry--the first marriage didn't work out well and he doesn't plan to go through it again. Too bad his daughter, Chrissie, has other plans.
Chrissie has decided the new teacher in town, Bethany Ross, would make the perfect wife for her dad. Mitch doesn't disagree that she is pretty and nice and he wouldn't mind getting to know her better, but he has no plans to marry her.
Cute as all the other Macomber books I have read. It does have the "cute kid" storyline, but it isn't annoying like some can be. Chrissie plays a big part in things, but not too much to make her seem like a bratty little kid.
Lots of continuation of the Hard Luck, Alaska town story. These stories need to be read in order...each one follows the next and relies heavily on the previous.
Because of the Baby
Matt still loves his ex-wife Karen, but she can't forgive him for not settling down. He never did follow through with any of his career paths. He has decided to rebuild the Lodge in Hard Luck and make it a tourist business with fishing trips, dogsled trips, and other Arctic Circle trips. He wants to make it work not only for himself, but to prove to Karen he can make it work. He wants her back, but can't seem to get her to listen to him.
When Karen comes to Hard Luck for his sister's wedding, one thing leads to another and in a few weeks she finds out she is expecting a his baby.
I want to first thank Debbie Macomber for NOT making this a secret baby storyline. Karen considers not telling Matt, but thank goodness that doesn't last for more than a couple of lines. Yea!
This is a reconciliation story. Matt and Karen have a history and need to move forward and put it behind them to make it work. They love each other from the start, but have no idea how to make it work.
Good story...not my favorite of all of the Midnight Sons so far, but good. It also continues the Hard Luck town story. It really does feel like a middle story...I'm looking forward to reading about Christian and Mariah and Duke and Tracy. Both stories have been building for a while. I did miss that John seemed to have disappeared. He just seemed to have dropped away after proposing to Sally. Hmm...

predictable, Feb 6 2010
By Abby's Mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Midnight Sons Volume 2: Daddy's Little Helper\Because of the Baby (Paperback)
I LOVE Debbie Macomber's work, but with this series, I feel like she isn't putting enough into her characters and it has becomes very predictable reading her books. This really disappoints me. Rather than cranking out many books, I'd wish she go back to character development and put some twists in there as well. I won't be saving this one.

This review is from: Midnight Sons Volume 2: Daddy's Little Helper\Because of the Baby (Paperback)
Love her Alaska series of Hard Luck, the way Debbie Macomber tells about all the Families is great.Midnight Sons, Vol. 1: Brides for Brothers / The Marriage Risk[[ASIN:0778326993 Midnight Sons, Vol. 2: Daddy's Little Helper / Because of the Baby]] Midnight Sons Volume 3: Falling for Him\Ending in Marriage\Midnight Sons and Daughters. All of Debbie Macomber books are great. These books goes from one Family to the next, which makes you want to continue to read all three of them. ( Have fun reading them. )
