He's the last man on earth she should want…
For a guy she's fantasized about throttling, Jake Bradshaw sure is easy on the eyes. In fact, he seriously tempts inn manager Jenny Salazar to put her hands to better use. Except this is the guy who left Razor Bay–and his young son, Austin, whom Jenny adores like her own–to become a globe-trotting photojournalist. He can't just waltz back and claim Austin now.
Jake was little more than a kid himself when he became a dad. Sure, he'd dreamed of escaping the resort town, but he'd also truly believed that Austin was better off with his grandparents. Now he wants–no, needs–to make up for his mistake. He intends to stay in Razor Bay only until he can convince Austin to return with him to New York. Trouble is, with sexy, protective, utterly irresistible Jenny in his life, and his bed, he may never want to leave….
That Thing Called Love Mills Boon Silhouette edition by Susan Andersen Literature Fiction eBooks
Renowned photographer Jake Bradshaw has returned to Razor Bay after a 13 year absence. His wife died in childbirth when his son Austin was born. Jake was only 18 at the time, and his wife's parents convinced him they could care for Austin so Jake could go to college. Well, that was then....this is now! The Grandparents have passed away, and Jake is called upon to parent Austin. Jenny Salazaar is Austin's legal guardian, and none too happy to see the globe trotting Jake blow in to town. Jake's plan is to get to know Austin, and then move him to New York City, which Jake calls home.Jenny slowly comes to the realization that Jake can take Austin at any time, so she decides to work with him, to form a relationship with Austin. Austin is a very mature 13 year old, and does not react well to Jake's plan to move with him to New York. In fact, at times Austin is better at forging ahead with their relationship than Jake is. However, throughout the course of the story, we find out that the grandparents were instrumental in keeping Jake from returning to Razor Bay and his son. At this turning point, Jake had my sympathy and his work cut out for him, proving to everyone that he could be a capable parent to Austin.
Soon, sparks fly between Jake and Jenny. The conflict between them is very well fleshed out. Jenny needs the stability her life in Razor Bay offers her, while Jake is such a free spirit. They slowly start to resolve their issues, out of consideration for Austin. Both Jake and Jenny need to sacrifice for the best resolution of Austin's future. Jake especially has to work hard to repair broken promises, but he comes out a better man for it. Will Jake and Jenny be able to meet halfway, and stay together in Razor Bay with Austin? At times, the odds sure are stacked against them.
Jake's half brother Max provides comic relief throughout the book, and I sure hope the next book is about Max! This book is a magnificent beginning to a new series that I look forward to!

That Thing Called Love Mills Boon Silhouette edition by Susan Andersen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Like the book a lot, although the ending seems rushed, which is the only bad thing a really have to say. I really like that the relationship between the father and son grows slowly and 'naturally' instead of either being big hugs, love and laughter or complete denial and hate.
Just finished a 're-read of this one and I must say it's just as good the second time. Great book that everyone should read.
I really enjoyed the story. Jenny's love for Austin is true as his support system. When Jake comes into the picture, everyone has to do what is best for Austin and not the adults. Susan Anderson mixes humor and more complex feelings expertly.
Can't say much without giving the story away but I will say that this story did hold my interest and went into much more character development than most HQN books do which I really enjoyed as the characters were likable. I look forward to the next one.
I have had Susan on auto-buy forever, and this book didn't fail to disappoint! Maybe having a child the age of Austin helped, but I felt such empathy for Jenny. It's hard to be sympathetic to a character that's ignored his child for as long as Jake has, but as the story unfolded it seemed like he finally "got" it, and realized what he had missed. And the happy ending worked for me! I read Susan's books for one reason--they are witty, sexy, and fun to read--plus I like the kinks she always throws into the plot. Love it!
Although I thought this book was perfectly pleasant and easy to read, I couldn't help thinking as I got to the last page that I didn't really care for either of the main characters. And I certainly am not going to remember them tomorrow. Nor did I believe in their HEA because there was little (other than sexual attraction) to keep these two together. SPOILER ALERT I think my biggest disappointment was with the "Hero"; he had committed an ongoing big mistake for 13 years and then near the end decides to do it again. Although he doesn't carry through, the very fact that it even occurred to him to leave his son again was inexcusable and showed he really hadn't learned much. END SPOILER ALERT. The other major problem with this book is that one doesn't feel invested in the relationship -- very early on I found myself thinking that I didn't much care if H/h got together or not. That said, I am a big Susan Andersen fan and while this may not be her best, it was a nice way to spend a few hours. But if this is your first Susan Andersen book I would start with something else.
I usually love Susan Anderson's books. With the exception of Playing Dirty, I hadn't read her in awhile and was looking forward to reading That Thing Called Love since I could usually count on her for a good story in a genre that has a lot of only so-so or downright bad. But this book just fell a little bit flat for me. I felt this book lacked a lot of the humor found in many of her other books that I enjoyed and the characters just weren't that likeable to me. There was nothing redeeming about long-lost dad Jake, who truly and consciously abandoned his son. He came off as a selfish jerk who only cared about himself for most of his life, until he grew bored or disenchanted with said life, then decides 'why not' and goes home to his kid. He was an extremely unlikely character and I just didn't buy into his transformation into loving husband and father material. Due to my dislike of Jake, it became increasingly hard to like Jenny as the story progressed because I just couldn't bring myself to understand how she could fall so madly in love with this guy if she were truly as devoted to Austin as Anderson portrays her. Then I just found Austin's character downright confusing - there are times that he's written as the young teen he is (12 or 13) and then times he sounds like he's 18. I know kids are growing up faster these days than when I was young, but as a mother of young children, I just found the sub-plot of a 13 year old's budding romance storyline a little too "ick" for my taste.
