My Review:
They met four years ago and were friendly and worked together. One night they had sex and then he told her he was married and left. Soon after this, she ended up pregnant, and he ended up widowed (his wife had been in a coma). He returns to town four years later because of HER, he's never been able to get her out of his blood. He wants to pick things up with her, asks intensely if there's a man in her life, but his intentions change a little once he finds out she gave birth to his son and kept it from him. He now wants the child as well as her. She's not sure he wants more than the child.
This was a really good read, no ick factors, intense passion, everything they did suited the fact that she was a mommy and had a kid in tow, good characterizations. The hero wasn't a "cheater", he was torn up over having sex with the heroine four years ago, and he hadn't wanted to have sex with other women over the four years since. (Nice to see a hero who doesn't have sex with others)
Rating: 4/5 stars, a really good story with great characters.
