This book was very touching even though both have been lied to and mistreated is where the grandmother is soulbound down to she don’t know how to tell the truth but because of God a family still came out of it
This could have been a really good read if the heroine hadn’t been such a wimp who only thought about getting it on with the hero—a man who had turned his back on her when she most needed him. Even though she was now a doctor, she let everyone treat her like she was still the girl from the wrong side of the tracks, especially the mother of the hero! How dumb can you be?! The only saving grace was the daughter who proved to be more mature than either of her parents. Good story idea, weak story.
Really enjoyed all the characters but was left wondering where the baby was for the first 71/2 months.
a very light hearted book,
Real easy read romance
Fun, quick read
female character a little weak
Loved this book! Usually it’s the man who doesn’t know he’s a father, it was great twist on a story line.
10 years ago Amber was told that her baby was stillborn. Through her grief, she moved on with her education and is now a medical doctor. However, she must return to her hometown to settle her father’s estate after his death. What she doesn’t expect is to discover that her child lived!
10 years ago Jon was told that Amber rejected their child. Since then, he’s done everything possible to be a good father. How is he supposed to act when Amber suddenly shows up after so many years?
What follows is a much more emotional read than I expected. There’s a lot of emotions to process and untangle as well as the mystery of what exactly happened 10 years ago. How was Amber convinced her baby was dead? How was Jon convinced that she had rejected the child? Will they learn the truth? Can they find the love that once drew them together? And, in the midst of it all is their child who desperately wants a complete, whole family. Is it possible?
