As far as unexpected situations go I think the one that
pretty much always is the worst kind of wonderful is a baby. You‘re in shock,
you’re thinking how, what, when, where, stupid questions because no doubt you
know the answer to all of the above. But then comes the really scary part is
how will I do this, can I do this?
Now that aside imagine if you really want a
family of your own, then of course an unexpected baby is not bad at all. But
when it’s someone else’s baby that shows up!
It’s what you always wanted but not quite how you wanted it.
In this read this is the realization for Lily Baker, she has for many years
dreamed of having her very own family, but when a newborn baby accompanied by a
so delicious man so hot he should have come with a warning label arrives on her
doorstep, she’s thinking she got more than she wished for.
But what Lily does not know is that Nic Johnson is not the
kind to love, nor is he really the father type either, not after the loss of
his son. But one kiss draws Nic to Lily
like a moth to the flame, but as we all know a moth will eventually fly off,
unless Lily can brink Nic’s dead heart back to life.
This was a very emotional roller coaster read, there was so
much sadness mixed with happiness that I found it hard to try keep my emotions
under control. The characters were well developed, the plot was a little too
familiar, almost as if I have read it before which with the amount of books I
read, entirely possible.
So with that in the back of my mind I went hunting though my
shelf and I found the book it reminded me about, the story immediately came
rushing back to mind and I immediately knew why this book was familiar, but
there is a huge difference with this one, Ellie Darkins did not try to
sugarcoat the tragedies in the book, she put it out for all the world to see, I
felt the heartache, the drama, the sadness that nearly tears the characters
apart. The other read never had it, it’s
by an unknown author and I don’t think I have ever seen her write anything else
so I hope that she is out there perfecting the craft of drawing on each and
every emotion the reader has to give.
To close off I will say “Well done Ellie!” you not only had
me emotionally drained at the end , but also showed me that there is always
happiness in tragedy , take it any way you can get it, even if it shows up on
your doorstep looking sexier than sin and carrying a baby!
4.5 star review
“ Be careful what you wish for, or it might show up on your doorstep
with a whole lost more than you expected!”
