DuhSheri was so sweet. Miguel was a mess. He had a traitorous fiance who caused him so much pain. The twins were the only thing that gave him joy. This story does a good job of creating a happy ending.
Tragedy + Tragedy + failure of communication= heartbreak or does it? This was a sweet, but tragic love story, my heart ached for the couple when they failed to communicate. They were both so miserable. You will have to read to find out the solution, was it ending in heartbreak or love? My heart ached for the couple, I actually had to put the book down because the couple was so miserable. I loved the characters, except when they were being stubborn
SecretsMistakes happen and are imagined. Secrets are kept to protect vulnerable people. I enjoyed the games that were being played that lead to a marve!ous ending to this love story. Mimi Barbour is a fantastic author who develops characters with great personalities that steal the readers heart.
Communication ChaosIf these two would have just talked! Crazy story, miscommunication madness, and cute babies. There were so many issues in this story that it just got boring. He thought, she thought, but they never thought together. Very frustrating. I did like the heroine more than the hero because he was just so stupid. He didn't trust easy but he should have at least asked. There's infertility, babies, in vitro, jealousy, secrets and dead siblings fueling all this angst. I liked the book th...
I really enjoyed this book. The way details came out as the story went along really built the tension and made the heroine's distress all the more heart-wrenching as they went along. It felt a little heavy-handed when he held her son's hospital bill over her, but otherwise I really loved this and it was all the more gripping when everything they misunderstood about one another felt legitimate. Couldn't put it down, stayed up very late!
The first couple of chapters were good, then it just went downhill. Too many editing issues (words misspelled, punctuation missing, etc). The two main characters kept going back and forth between being strong, intelligent to silly and dumb. Glad this was a free download (at the time). Don't waste your time or money.

This book reminds me of every single reason why I stopped reading "romance" novels some 20 plus years ago: women who are supposed to be strong but become weak annoying creatures once a man enters their life, asshole men who are raised to believe the world worships them and finally some asinine reason why they end up "happily ever after".These are the questions that plauge my mind even now: How did Sheri go from strong independent single mom to head over heels in love with the arrogant Miguel in
Very entertaining and enjoyable. I found myself quickly engaged in this story and in the issues facing the main characters. Sheri and Miguel were both very likeable, and there were some very emotional scenes as they struggled with their feelings for each other after the inevitable misunderstandings that kept the plot moving. A very smooth writing style had me turning pages as I became more and more engrossed in the story. The only quibble was an ending that felt too abrupt. There was a lot of mo...
I liked this story; the uniqueness of it caught my eye. I also liked both Miguel and Sheri. When it comes to Miguel, I have a question. How do you say Idiot in Spanish? Although to be honest, in some ways Sheri wasn't too smart either. They both suffered unnecessary pain because they didn't communicate very well. Of course, I could see why Sheri withheld one piece of information when she learned it . But if either of them had communicate better, this would have been a much short book wouldn't it...
A pretty good story with a HEA. I've read her FBI series, and found the writing style similar.The lost star is due to a common problem these days, consistantly poor editing, in the case of this book extra or missing words that cause one to stumble, interrupting the flow.
good storyA good story about a woman who becomes a surrogate for her friend. Unfortunately events take a different turn and she is left with the children.
I stayed up part of the night to finish this book. I loved the characters and felt they were well-defined. The story line took a bit of a turn from the ordinary which made this book even better.A surrogate pregnant with twins, for an infertile friend and her husband.Friend and husband tragically killed before birth.Uncle comes after babies, but surrogate mom used her own eggs. Can he just take them away?To whom do these babes legally belong to?Surprising discovery made about babies.Misunderstand...
A sweet contemporary romance that will tug at your heart. Although Mimi Barbour has written several novels in the romance genre, paranormal, fantasy and romantic suspense. This contemporary romance is by far my favorite. Sheri is a surrogate mother for her good friends, but an accident kills them before she gives birth leaving her with twins to raise. It's not until the extremely handsome and wealthy brother of the surrogate father, Miguel, shows up on Sheri's doorstep claiming the right to the
Nice readA lot of assumptions and a lot of secrets give an edge to the romance that keeps the interest going. Getting these things sorted out...well that is the story that Mimi Barbour wrote.
Having a babies a friend and her husband and in comes a huge curveball. Then Uncle comes and tries to take them but can he really?! All the misunderstandings and miscommunications threw a big problem in the way for these two people. When all they had to do was take to each other. I really enjoyed the story though.
