She was his mistress 2 years ago, then she got pregnant and told him. He had had a vasectomy and believed she'd cheated on him with a male friend of hers. He threw her out of his life. Now, she's had a slight accident and her mother has thrust care of her granddaughter onto the hero, she's tired of helping with unwanted babies and she wants the father to step up. The hero meets with the heroine again, but still doesn't believe he has a child, he insists on a paternity test. Of course he has to eat humble pie when he finds out he is the father. They resume their sexual relationship and he asks her to be his live-in mistress, both before he finds out the child is his, and again he asks after he knows.
This book is very passionate and a good read. The hero added the situation up in his head: father + mother + child = making the mom his mistress? In my mind the hero should have been doing a little grovelling and should be thanking the heroine for forgiving him for being such an asshole in the past. He thought he was in the position of power and he never apologized for throwing her out of his life (and taking up with other women, though he was happy to hear that she hadn't been with anyone else!).
Rating: 3.5/5 stars, it's hard to make tossing out the mother of your child and ignoring her for two years (where the hero has other lovers) sound romantic, but the hero had an intense and unique passion for the heroine, so that made up for it slightly.
