Product Description
Frederica Kimball had been waiting for the day when Nicholas LeBeck would fall as desperately in love with her as she had always been with him. Nick didn't know what had hit him...sweet, adorable Freddie, whom he'd always loved like a kid sister, was suddenly looking and acting like a sensual woman. The waiting was over, but the wanting had just begun

 best of the series June 8, 2008
This is the 5th book in the Stanislaski series, and my favorite of that series.
Freddie Kimball is the daughter of Spence Kimball from Taming Natasha. Nick LeBeck is the brother of Zack Muldoon from Falling for Rachel. They met back in Falling for Rachel, when Freddie was 13 and Nick was 19.
Back then, Nick was trouble, but becoming part of the Stanislaski family straightened him out, and he's now a respected composer. In fact, he's been asked to write the songs for a new musical for Maddie O'Hurley (Dance to the Piper). Unfortunately, his usual lyricist can't work with him.
Which is fortunate for Freddie, who offers her services, and after quite a bit of arguing, she convinces him to work with her.
What Nick doesn't know is that writing lyrics is just the tip of the iceberg of Freddie's plans. She's been in love with him for years, and has decided that it's time to do something about it.
Nick has trouble initially thinking of Freddie as someone other than a young girl, a sort-of-cousin. He's also troubled by his past, feeling that a former gang member is definitely not good enough for Freddie. And then there's the whole family looking over their shoulders. But Freddie's nothing if not determined.
There were the expected appearances of other family members from the series, as well as the O'Hurleys from another of Nora's series, but in this case, it didn't seem remotely forced. Freddie and Nick were members of the same extended family, so it would have seemed odd if the family hadn't shown up. And the O'Hurleys were a nice bonus, but also logical.
I always like the books where the hero and heroine have known each other a long time. Something about them knowing each other so well and falling in love with the whole person. Odd, because I was married within 6 months of meeting my husband, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Maybe it's the contrast with real life that appeals to me.
Surprise, surprise, I don't have any complaints with this one. It's just a sweet, feel-good book that leaves me smiling:
* I smiled when Freddie came to New York with her 3-fold plan.
* I smiled through all their bickering about the songs.
* I smiled at Nick's reaction to meeting Chantal O'Hurley (Skin Deep).
* I smiled when Nick wanted to get her some brandy or a glass of water "for the shock" after the first time they made love (well, okay, I laughed).
* I smiled when the family discussed Freddie & Nick's budding romance after the anniversary party.
* I smiled when Spence gave Nick a hard time & said it was his duty as a father.
etc., etc.
A GREAT BOOK February 21, 2007

We first met Freddie Kimball in Taming Natasha a cute five year old girl who immediately had a crush on Nick Lebeck in Falling for Rachel. Now Freddie sets out to get her man. Unfortunately, Nick only sees her as a kid sister so she has to show him that she's a woman. A great story.
 This Story is Too Cute!! May 7, 2005

We first met Federica Kimball when her father married Natasha Stanislaski in TAMING NATASHA. At that time she was an adorable 5-year-old with a smile that could melt a heart. Her aunt, Rachel Stanislaski, becomes involved with a rugged bar owner and his nephew, Nicholas LeBeck, who was trying to be a juvenile delinquent, until Rachel was assigned his case.
Years later Freddie decides that Nick has had enough time to realize that she's not a child anymore. Nick has always thought of Freddie as a kid sister, but she's about to make that stop! They're extended family, and extended family isn't supposed to have these types of feelings for each other!
WAITING FOR NICK is a fun filled romantic story that is still enjoyable even though it's predictable. Strong family values are evident in Nora Roberts' books, and this is no exception. Not a brain exercise, but definitely one of those feel good books that are a pleasurable way to spend a few hours.
One of my favorite stories! April 14, 2004

If you love Nora Roberts and love series you will love this series about the Stanislaskis! This is book five in the series. It's Freddies tale of love. Miss Freddie is all grown up (Natasha's step daughter) and moving to New York and moving in on Nick who she has been in love with for years. Nick, from Book # 3 (Falling for Rachel) is all grown up and not sure how to handle grown up and beautiful Freddie! This is one of my favorite series by Roberts. It's about love and family and loyality...a perfect read!
