Captivating and sweet read
Hero’s Baby is a captivating read with a well developed story line and wonderful characters. That was such a great heartwarming story. Where second chance romance is filled with plenty of different emotional states of main characters. There’s a lot of angst, secrets and more misunderstandings that two people could chew. This all leads to uncertainty, to keeping secrets but slowly transform into steamy passion and then to forgiveness and love.
I enjoyed this read very much especially one smart little kid who had a strong urge to meet and then get to know his father.
Ray has missed out on over 11 years of his son’s life due to a misunderstanding that could have been avoided had Avery answered one call. Christopher makes learning to “dad” pretty easy, but it is a little harder to get Avery back. Avery’s reactions are understandable given her life’s story, but I think Ray should be more upset by the whole thing.
This is a sensationally heartwarming second chance romance filled with angst, emotion, uncertainty, secrets, steamy, passion, misunderstanding, forgiveness, healing, acceptance, and love. Ray is a former soldier whose heart was broken years before by the love of his life. Avery is a single mom struggling to raise her son after Ray walked away from her. Christopher is on a mission to locate his father. Hero’s Baby is a captivating must read with a well developed story line and wonderful characters readers will fall in love with. I can’t wait to read more from Aubrey Wright.

Love Christopher, his character was so ingrained in the story. That’s rare for a romance. He really was intricate in his parents getting back together and staying together. Love it so different from other books I’ve read.
A swoon-worthy alpha and his sweetheart gets a second chance
Hero’s Baby by Aubrey Wright is a wonderfully well written second chance romance with a former military hottie, a true beauty of a sweetheart and an adorable preteen. This is my first Aubrey Wright book and I so loved it! Well written, well developed characters as well as an engaging plot made this a page turner for me.
I fell immediately in love with these characters! Ray stole it right away with his acceptance of Christopher at once. Avery is so brave with her heart. She takes risks and the rewards are massively positive. Ray proceeds with caution, experiences some unsure moments, but realizes what really matters most to him; Avery and Christopher, so he does what it takes to keep them in his life. Speaking of characters, Eric and Mel are a hoot!
Overall, a very well written second chance military romance with just enough angst, plenty of steam and a whole lot of love. The HEA is just what I was hoping for for this new little family as a whole as well as for each of them individually.
This book has so much going for it. It has suspense, passion, chemistry, action, and drama. I loved Ray’s character he is so passionate and protective. Eric is something else, I’ve never met anyone like him. Avery is so strong, she’ll do anything for Christopher.

Hero’s Baby by Aubrey Wright
So picture a summer romance. A sexy military man, straight off the base. You date….you fall in love…..he goes overseas……you find out you’re pregnant. That’s exactly what happens to Avery in Hero’s Baby. Avery calls Ray to tell him the good news about their baby, and CLICK! Call ended. She didn’t waste any time on him after that. If Ray didn’t care enough to listen and share the joy of her pregnancy then shame on him right? Avery raises their amazing, smart boy wonderfully. He’s super intelligent, polite, and has amazing goals. But he doesn’t have his dad….until he sends an email to Ray. Ray thinks it’s a joke, he doesn’t have a kid. Low and behold, years later he’s face to face with the love of his life Avery and their son Christopher. How does Avery react to seeing her long, lost love again? How does Ray deal with seeing Avery and learning about his son? Talk about miscommunication!
This book pulled me from the very first page! Beautifully written. The characters feel so real. I love how Avery and Ray’s relationship rekindles. Ray has an instant love for Christopher. Christopher cares so much for his mom and Ray. Wonderful family dynamic built in this book. This story had some steamy scenes that just had you melting. Amazing HEA. Twists and turns too!! Great Job Aubrey Wright!!!
Sometimes Fate and Love Need a Nudge
Twelve years ago, Avery Stuart’s departing soldier-lover Ray Lancaster, left her with a gift as he shipped out for his new posting. He gave her a gift with love but also with consequences that she had to face alone. When 18-year-old Avery discovered that she was pregnant, she was anxious for the unknown future. And, she accepted Ray’s unexpected gift of a child—a child whom she already loved. Her immediate plans had been to attend Julliard—she had already been accepted—but plans can change. The next change of plans was housing. Her aunt and uncle who had given her a home when her parents had died gave her a choice—have an abortion or look for a new home. And so, she called Ray who was stationed in Afghanistan to seek his advice. But, when she called, he hung up. Brokenhearted but not broken, Avery moved forward, getting a waitressing job and finding new housing as she created a home for herself and her unborn but much-loved child.
Now, eleven-years later, Christopher, Avery’s brilliantly precocious and delightful son has given their lives an unexpected twist. He has located and contacted his father. Avery never tried to hide the truth from her son about his father’s identity, never imagining that Christopher would use that information to actually track down his dad. And, Ray—the same Ray who had hung up on her 12 years ago when she called him to share the news of their pregnancy—shows up while mom and son are visiting a local Seattle museum, as arranged by the clever son when it seemed that fate needed assistance.
So now, after twelve years of separation and silence, how can they go forward? How can misunderstandings and hurt of the past years be rolled back? And, is it even possible to move forward when so much time has passed?
Aubrey Wright’s second chance at love story is a sweet moment of finding the missing pieces of life and working to make those pieces fit in order to fashion a beautiful vision of what life could be with love and forgiveness instead of regretful shadows and thoughts of what might have been. Wright’s focus is always on the possibilities of love. With a knack for taking the unlikely and making it not only likely, but amusing, touching, and romantic, Wright always concludes in a HEA ending. Wright’s romances touch the heart and tickle the funny bone, leaving the reader with complete satisfaction.

I received the book as an ARC around 11:00am and finished less than 24hrs later, (I will definitely purchase this book to add to my collection) I absolutely fell in love with the characters and the story line as soon as I started it. I will definitely read again and again. I would recommend this book to my friends and look forward to more books written by Aubrey Wright.
Love this book. The plot was so realistic and shows how easily miscommunication can change your life. Perfect amount of heartbreak, healing, passion and love leading up to their happy ending.
Can he play Daddy?
‘Hero’s Baby’ has a good storyline, with likeable and realistic characters. It was an emotion-filled book, that was both heart-breaking and heart-warming.
This is a story about Ray and Avery. They had a history once, and miscommunication ended what could have been a wonderful life together.
So over a decade of time has passed for these two, and a lot has happened during this time. Ray has emotional and psychological scars left by the ravages of war – that can be incredibly tough to live with. And Avery has had her own struggles. One that will be the ultimate surprise for Ray.
Their son Christopher (whom Ray didn’t know about) writes to his father, wanting to find out more about him, and connect with him. This is obviously a huge shock to Ray, and he struggles with the thought of being able to take on a parenting role, and develop a relationship with his son.
He also has an opportunity to possibly mend his relationship with Avery. She is after all the love of his life. Will he be strong enough to take on those challenges? And will she want to risk being hurt again?
Ray and Avery still have off-the-charts chemistry, and harbour strong feelings for each other. There’s a huge possibility of life-long love and romance. Will they get the second chance they both really deserve?
This was another enjoyable book by this author – quite the page-turner. I highly recommend it.
