Kit Brennan is a Catholic school teacher who has recently come out of a 10 year dead end relationship and a brief period of bad dates. She?s struggling with taking care of her sick mother, being there for everyone in her family and trying to decide whether or not she wants to be a single mother. On a weekend getaway with some girlfriends she meets Jude. She?s attracted to him but brushes off his interest as doing the right thing. Much to her surprise, when there?s trouble with one of her students, Jude shows up in her life again and she struggles with her feelings for him and the thoughts that her family wouldn?t like him and thinking that he wasn?t the right kind of guy for her.
I loved Kit! I think she might be my favorite Brennan sister. She?s easy to identify with from her need to be there for and putting everyone else?s needs above her own to her decisions on wanting to adopt a child as a single mother. Dealing with a mother who is sick, a date with a man who turns out to be the father of one of her students and moving forward with the adoption process, Kit has a lot to deal with. When Jude re-enters her life she tells herself all the reasons why he?s not the right person for her, but that doesn?t help her need to be with him. Jude, in the meantime, tells her that there can never be a future for them and does his best to stay away from her because he isn?t what she needs. Jane Porter did another AMAZING job with The Good Daughter. It was another book that I couldn?t put down and read it in a day. The very real life situations that she dealt with in the story easily connect the reader with the characters. The simmering attraction between Kit and Jude was great and I loved them together! I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series and can?t wait to see where Jane Porter takes us next in the lives of The Brennan Sisters!

Kit Brennan has always been known as the good daughter by her other sisters. She's a school teacher, loves to read and is always there for her family. While in Capitola, where her family has a beach house, Kit meets Jude. He's everything she's not and not someone that her family would approve of. He's a bad boy that wears a leather jacket, rides a motorcycle and has tattoos. They couldn't be more different, but there's just something about him that draws Kit in. Can opposites really attract? Or are their lives too different?
At school Kit gets a new student, Delilah. She's very withdrawn and not like the other kids. Kit finds out that Delilah is hiding a very dark secret. One that can threaten her very own well-being. Kit is caught between wanting to do the right thing as a teacher and adult, but not wanting to do anything that would potentially put Delilah in harm's way.
In the meantime, Kit is battling being single, but wanting a child of her own. She has been seriously considering adoption, but not getting the support from her family. They don't think that a single parent should have a child and they're not too keen on adoption. Will Kit listen to her family's advice or will she follow her heart?
Once again, Jane Porter has written another 5 star worthy book. This book is full of twists and turns, passion and romance and love and heartache. The author does a great job touching on some serious subjects in a tasteful, respectful manner. I really enjoyed reading this book and getting to know the Brennan sisters more. I think it's a story that many can relate to, but not a lot would admit to. I would definitely recommend this book to others. I would, however, suggest reading the first book in this series, The Good Woman, prior to this one. It will give a better sense of the dynamic of the family. I loved this book and read it in a day. It was one that was hard to put down and you didn't want to end.
