I don't read a lot of reconsiliation romances. Wait that isn't true because I read a lot of scorned lovers getting back together, but I don't read them about once-married couples. Probably because marriage is the end of my little HEA and I hate having my bubble broken.

So, I was a little wary about starting this book. But so many of goodreads were a-flutter over this that I gave it a go but I am SO HAPPY that I ended up reading it!

So interesting. So good. The characters were great, and complex. I love that the problems weren't all one sided, even though they appeared to be at first. But most of all I LOVED the ending pre-epilogue. Why? Because the romance, the love, was seperate from the baby.

I always whine, bitch and complain when the baby brings people together but it didn't here in some ways. The ending really showed the commitment and trust she had in him. So good!

I also LOVED the way the Henry was written. His dialogue and his behaviours. To me he was a subtle evil, and everyday sort of evil. Sometimes, I find that these sort of people slip into my life and so many times in books and movies we see the villain so clearly, but in life bad people, and the people that are bad for us, aren't always so obvious.

Obviously, I will be reading Marie Force again, a 5 star rating and a sport on my faves bookshelf ... that's not a regular occurance. When I started reading romances, I started with the Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Rachel Gibsons of the industry. While reading those books, I would get this feeling. I can't really explain it, but I can tell you that it's different from the feeling when I read other types of stories (like suspense, paranormal, smut, or lesser contemporaries). Now that I've made my way through the books of contemporary powerhouse authors, I miss picking up a new story and knowing I'm going to get so sucked into and involved in a story that the elusive feeling will come. I got that feeling with this book! I am off later today to see if I can find more Marie Force. I doubt this book is a fluke, I think she is fabulous!
