When I read this book, I really had no idea where Fletcher came into the large Bravo family, but finding a link to a definitive Bravo Family tree ~ especially including Blake Bravo's rather numerous, and often confusing, children ~ on Christine's site was heady stuff. I love being able to place everyone where they belong... and it just makes, for me, the stories flow that much better. 'Sides it was a lot of fun figuring out the whole fam-damily. I'm a bit of a dweeb, but I'm an organizational dweeb that likes my I's dotted, my T's crossed and every piece in it's proper place!
I've also noticed, as the saga progresses, that the steaminess levels definitely increas after the first few books... good one!

FROM the BACK:
"I WANT YOU. NAME YOUR PRICE."
Cleopatra Bliss had learned long ago to stay away from driven, powerful men like Fletcher Bravo. So when the handsome CEO of one of Las Vegas's most successful gaming resorts made her an irresistible proposal, she knew she was in trouble.
Fletcher envisioned great possibilities for Cleo's day-care center ~ including a special place for his little girl. But his desire fo the stubbornly independent Cleo was rocking his world...until he decided marriage ~ with all the fringe benefits and none of the obligations ~ would suit him just fine. And then he looked at his wife's burgeoning belly and realized he wasn't the only one keeping secrets....
MY NOTES:
Fletcher was definitely one of the more reserved of Blake's children; not only because of his childhood, but also his own personal experiences with love. But he has a beautiful little girl and she has his heart ~ probably the beginning of his salvation. Cleo was definitely the rest of the equation for Fletcher to find himself. And it didn't hurt that he was in business with a second cousin, Jonas Bravo (The Bravo Billionaire) but also one of his half-brothers, Aaron (His Executive Sweetheart). For the first time family was something that he had... and I really loved watching the changes in him. Wonderful story!
