Dysfunctional breeds more of the same. The Barnes family are rich, brash and famous. Each has used their god given talent to make headlines. Managed by a controlling mother that makes Kris Jenner seem timid, there is bound to be chaos in their high paced world. In The Baller’s Secret Baby, Ms. Alleman examines fame and all it’s trappings with a fast paced love story that had my head spinning. Reality, romance and sudster TV combine to tell a complicated love story with grit, heartbreak and heat. The Barnes are an interesting group.
** spoiler alert ** The Baller’s Secret Baby: Nick and Eden grew up together until they were 15 and a tragedy struck. After the tragedy Eden’s mom takes her to Texas after a disagreement with Nick’s mom before the accident.

He tries his best to prove it to her and is actually excited when they discover it is twins. After moving to be with him, outside forces once again work to keep them apart and almost succeed. Nick once again proves that he loves her and is faithful.
This story shows a man continually willing to show his love. Personally I would have gotten rid of his mother long before he did, but I understand she is his mom. Loved the twists and thought the other basketball players were idiots.
Bishop’s Desire: Chloe is struggling working two jobs to save up enough to start her own bakery. Bishop Eduardo Soto made mistakes when he was younger and is now determined to right them by serving the church. Neither can deny their attraction, but marriage is a must first. Will Eduardo accept who his father was? Will Chloe realize that all she wants a real marriage with Eduardo before it is to late?
After reading the other Barnes Family books, I was iffy when Lucinda popped up. I didn’t blame Eduardo for how he handled the news on who his father was and I was proud of him for not blocking Chloe from her dreams and willing to work with her. I did agree that Chloe didn’t see the whole picture before hand, but was happy when she finally realized that she loved Eduardo also. Steamy read.
Loved this set! The Barnes men look like they have it all, except a true love. These are their stories of how they get their own chance at love, even if the road is rocky and seems impossible. The stories are great and the characters make you fall in love with them…just a great set!
