This is Emmy Eugenes fourth book in this series and I’m mixed on my thoughts.
Holly claims she was sick that was the reason she ghosted on the marriage after three months then never told him about Sarah. Then gets upset with him because she leaves town and doesn’t tell anyone why and he assumes she left like before. Demands he respect her.
Rex is rightfully angry and has a hard trusting her. He of course demands she let him see Sarah, then goes out of his way to set her up so he can get to know his daughter.
