I can really appreciate a book that doesn’t dance around real life issues. Down We’ll Come, Baby by Carrie Aarons is a story of love and how sometimes it isn’t enough in a marriage.

We’ve got a wealthy girl and the working class guy she shouldn’t want to be with. This isn’t a tale of how they fell in love but rather what happens when they feel like they can’t make it work any more. Though the blurb covers it, be warned that this book is about a failing marriage and struggles with infertility.

I’ve got to be honest…I really could not stand Imogen! I found her selfish and her family is just the worst. I understand some of the struggles she goes through, but other struggles stem from her drive to rise in her family’s company and get back into their good graces after marrying a man they didn’t approve of. I did not connect with her at all.

Theo, on the other hand, is phenomenal! He loves Imogen wholeheartedly, and I was feeling all his pain alongside him as I read. My only complaint with regard to Theo has to do with his dialogue and internal dialogue — I often found it unrealistic. That is to say that I felt like it was obvious that he was written by a female author. Does that make sense?

Overall, Down We’ll Come, Baby is an emotional rollarcoaster that I feel a lot of romance readers will love!
