This was exactly my kind of book. It had romance, babies and love in it. I liked the characters a lot and even though the beginning was very sad, it made the book even better. It made the ending more special, at least in my opinion. Even though, it's fiction, it makes me, a hopeless romantic, believe in love even more. I also liked the plot. It's kind of unique and I haven't really read anything like it yet. It was totally worth the read. ( )

Jess has had a hard go of it, after her honeymoon her husband is murdered and she finds out she's pregnant, right out of a lifetime movie. Dan is there to help and be a rock for her and her child. Dan was also the murderers brother, crazy lifetime twist. This book had me teary eyed throughout it. It was an easy read a little predictable and not very realistic but it was a nice break from real life. ( )

Bruce needs money for drugs so he robs and kills Frank who has just returned from his honeymoon. Bruce's brother, Dan, feels responsible so he goes to the widow, Jess, offering her help in any way she needs - meaning financially. He feels worse when he learns she's pregnant and her miserable father-in-law is threatening to take the baby. He offers to marry her and adopt the baby to stop the father-in-law's threats. This marriage is for convenience and to protect Jess and the baby so when Dan falls in love with her he keeps quiet about it but continues to treat her well and hopes she'll fall in love with him too.

I really enjoyed this emotional story. There were lots of sad scenes but some funny ones too. It was well written (with editing issues) so even though it wasn't true to life it was a great escape. I mean would anybody actually agree to marry the brother of the man who killed your husband? Amazingly it works for them and you'll want it to turn out for this pair.

If you're looking for a romance that's out of the ordinary then this is for you. ( )

I got this as an amazon freebie. The overall premise of the story is extremely unlikely and fictional, however that being the genre of the book is expected. I did not expect the dept of characters and relationships that were present in the novel. Most authors that have their books on Amazon for free, at least from what I've seen/read, need a lot of help with the basics of the novel. Kristy K. James managed to draw me in, execute an almost seamless collaboration of multiple 'mini' plots, have detailed and believable characters, and still manage to use proper grammar. I would recommend her books to anyone who loves a good romance. ( )

loved it!
there were a bit of mistakes, but it was still great. ( )
