Bachelor Battalion

     If this book had been a standalone I probably would not have gotten it, never mind read it; but because it was part of the Bachelor Battalion series, I had to read it... and am I ever glad that I did!  Appearances are not everything... and I should know that.  Glad to see that this truism once again proves itself valid.

   Even though it is now March, I'm behind in my reviews for the February Cahllenge ~ One Thing Leads to Another.  This is the first of four of my February books... and I've told myself that I can't start the March challenge until I'm done the reviews... which actually means that I cannot read until I'm done!  That's pretty powerful motive for me. 
     This is the third of Maureen Child's Bachelor Battalion series books that I have and the series is still just as enjoyable.  I'm definitely going to be doing a backlist hunt of the titles that I don't have... and of the fourteen that I know of I only have four, so you can see that I've got a way to go.  But it'll be fun!

     For a story with the prototypical baby-on-the-doorstep the back story was, I thought, very well set-up and explained. I loved the varied relationships that the H had with the people around him… and there were some great scenes that were laugh-out-loud funny. I could also see the h’s dilemma with falling in love; it wasn’t as far-fetched as some scenarios that I’ve read have been ~ and you do need the seemingly insurmountable problem with the romance. Another excellent chapter in another first-rate series!

     New line, new series. Since I read a review of one of Maureen Child’s Bachelor Battalion books, I’d been searching when, while at one of the thrift stores that I visit, there was one of the books from this series. I was tickled pink! In short order, I came across two more books from this series and then chanced upon a Silhouette by Request title with the second of the Bachelor Battalion books in the series… happy? You bet! So while I know that I’m missing a LOT of these books, I’m off to a good start. Yee haw!
