3.5/5 stars!

After a botched mission derailed the hero to take up alcohol abuse and the breakup of his relationship with the heroine, the hero wanted to apologize for his actions after seeking help. This led to learning about the heroine's pregnancy and the danger she encounters due to her reporting job. Will this help reconcile the relationship between the hero and the heroine?

This is a second-chance, surprise pregnancy romance. The couple in this Leslie North book is likable and I appreciated that they talked about their relationship. I liked how the hero sought help in the past and wanted to apologize to the heroine for his actions. I also liked how strong the heroine is when she knew what she wanted in the relationship. I also liked the action in this story and the supportive secondary characters that surrounded the couple. I did think that the story dragged a bit in certain areas of the story. Overall, another enjoyable Leslie North book.
