I struggled to put this book down all day. I was looking for a good second chance angst feast and this met so much of the criteria.The h had a great strength of character. She’d been given a raw deal in life and was not a quitter.The H was charming and an amiable character. We learn that the h (from a poor background and staying with her grandfather (who worked for H’s family) in his trailer) and H (his family and their money run the town) had a tryst at a bonfire when she was 17 and he was 20+....
4.5 By now, I should probably stop being surprised when a book’s cover is so completely and absolutely mismatched when considering the content. But, of course, once again I was surprised. This is probably the best and one of the more realistic approaches to “I had a kid and didn’t tell the father” type of plot. It does this book a disservice to only describe it in terms of that trope. I think this is one of those stories where even people who hate that trope could like it. Now that I got that
I enjoyed this book so much. Those who follow my reviews know I don't normally give 5 stars.One of the best secret baby stories I've read.The writing was so good.It starts with the prologue which has the heroine pregnant.The circumstances are a bit vague.We jump 6/7 years in a couple of chapters and the Hero and heroine meets again and he realises it's his daughter.The daughter is amazing. She has her issues and it is handles so sensitively.Loads of angst.Guilt over not being there for the heroi...
Look, I like a secret baby book and I can't deny it anymore, so when everyone running off to read the psychopath romance, I was like, but this other book, tho. Anyway, the writing is really strong; it feels mature and grounded in ways I wasn't expecting. The author has a very compelling voice, and the first half of the book is really solid if you can ignore that the hero is a cop and they live in an (seemingly) idyllic small town in which I suspect everyone is probably a white supremacist. And t...
3.5-3.75 starsSo this was also part of my TBR experiment since I'm in a book slump and nothing sounds interesting I decided to pick a random page of my TBR and I had to read something from that page. This time it turned out pretty good. I read this 400+ page book in less than a day and it kept my attention really well. I love Cate C. Wells's writing style and this kept me turning the pages even though I had some issues with it which is why I rounded up rather than down. "What does a good man d...
*** Book Q & A**** How did the book make you feel?: I wanted to love this book, but there were things that were frustrating to me. * How do you feel about how the story was told?: We get the backstory and read about how a small town rallies around their local 24 yo hero who supposedly knocks up a 17 yo girl. She’s driven out of town pregnant and shows up 7 years later. She’s still destitute and stubborn as heck. Hero knows instantly that he’s the father and that a big secret has been hidden from...
I enjoyed this book but....I know why is there always a but?For me it was too long. I found myself skimming several times.Shay was hard work. She’s done a brilliant job raising Mia but I found her exhausting.Also Kellum was just too wishy washy for me. I know, I know he’s a nice guy. But he was too nice and everyone took advantage.My favourite character after Mia of course was Dina. I really wanted more of her.
I'm quickly falling in love with this author. I recently read her rejected mate story , and I adored her phenomenal storytelling, so I immediately DL'd a couple more of her stories. And this story did not disappoint!! It was absolute....I loved Shay. I felt her heartbreak as this young girl was bullied out of her town and away from her family by evil assholes who thought she was beneath them. Shay fled her town and skated by the best she could, raising her young daughter by herself for years...
Gosh! The H is really dumb for a cop (lost one star there). But I like the way he loves the h and their daughter. Loved the way Shay (h) was protective and loved her daughter. It touched my heart whenever Mia (her daughter) would string full sentences or used new words and Shay would file that in her mental repository. I liked it that the h was strong.
