Whoa that was all smoke and mirrors and made up wacko conflict. Neither one of them had a leg to stand on as pertains to the secret baby. She doesn't tell him because he never called her after their night together. I'd think the whole horrific car crash the next day and 3 months in the hospital might have explained that. He's pissed because his one night stand didn't show up to hold his hand in the hospital. Meh. ( )

I never could understand why threats work with women in Harlequin novels.... like the guy saying, dance with me or ill get introduced to your parents. Or why the woman can't have a spine for once and not let the guy coerce or blackmail or browbeat her... especially when she's not at a disadvantage, here she's not poor or homeless or any such nonsense, but she let's him make her dance with him by force and dictate whether or not they will be having another conversation.

THE FLIMSY REASON SHE USED FOR NOT TELLING HIM ABOUT HIS CHILD, made the author seem to lazy to plot a better story. She was upset he didn't call after he was in a well publicized accident immediately after their night together... GIRL PLEASE.. GET YOUR LIFE!! THAT'S TAKING PETTY & VINDICTIVE TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. Made it hard to root for her because she came across as childish. OMG so he didn't call GET OVER IT!

Okay so my rant is over but sometimes one has to vent about the implausibility of M&B while still having a stack or so piled up to read... I would have like more of the child in the book and the parents too. ( )
