English Girl in New York
ByPublisher Description
Rescued on her doorstep
After an annus horribilis, the glittering lights of Manhattan are irresistible to English girl Carrie McKenzie. She's climbed the Empire State Building, but can't get a smile from her gorgeous neighbor! Until a tiny abandoned baby on her doorstep brings her to his door….
Cop Dan Cooper has an obligation to protect, and with Carrie out of her depth, he must come to her rescue. Surely two pairs of hands are better than one? Until she becomes a distraction, not just because of her tempting curves, but because of the pain in her eyes when she looks at the precious bundle in their charge….

“I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
One of my guiltiest pleasures has always been reading Harlequin Romances. With a Harlequin Romance I know I am going to get a sweet story with a very happy ending. But when that story is also well-written and includes characters that I really grow to care about – Bonus! And that’s exactly how I felt about An English Girl in New York by Scarlet Wilson.
Carrie is a London transplant in New York trying to put her life back together after one of the worst years anyone could have. She barely makes it home before a huge blizzard shuts down the city. Imagine her shock when she discovers a newborn infant on her doorstep. Carrie immediately seeks help from her neighbor who she believes is a cop.
Dan is a police officer and with his protective instincts set to high, he steps in to help Carrie. Neither has any experience in taking care of a baby but with the whole city shut down, they have no choice but to work together. Finding the baby isn’t the only unexpected surprise they face. Imagine their shock when they discover feelings for each other.
The writing in An English Girl in New York was delightful. Ms. Wilson did an amazing job of slowly revealing the reasons behind Carrie’s awful year and Dan’s cynical attitude. Then she would throw in some wonderful humorous moments to lighten the tension. I could relate to Carrie and sympathized with her struggles. There is nothing sweeter than an alpha man falling for the charms of a baby and Dan was no exception. The interactions between Carrie and Dan were filled with so much emotion. Even Carrie’s conversations with their upstairs neighbor added another emotional layer to the story.
There isn’t hot, steamy sex but I don’t expect that from Harlequin. Instead, I was able to enjoy an emotional read about the start of a relationship between two people who are due some happiness. The ending was just a little too pat for me keeping the book from being perfect. But overall, An English Girl in New York left me feeling happy and satisfied.”
