Quickie Review:
This is a book I had such high hopes for and as you can tell from my rating, this book was NOT for me. It was one of the most toxic relationships I have ever read and I honestly can't believe this book came from Linda Kage. Its just nothing like anything I have ever seen her write. Also if you struggle with secret baby aspects that can turn toxic, then avoid this one here. My biggest issue was the heroine in this one and her reasons for keeping the secret. And to be honest I was not invested in their relationship at all. The child is the one that found the father, the mother wouldn't have ever told him and yeah she didn't have good enough reasons for it. I think the only aspect of the story that was redeemable was the father daughter relationship that is built within this book. I really adored that aspect and I could have cared less about these two being together. They weren't good for each other and there is a ton of mistrust especially on the side from the heroine. Basically she doesn't trust him at all, makes her own judgments, ends their relationship, tells him she had a miscarriage that was no miscarriage, and raises their daughter without him knowing. She knowingly deceives him from the truth and then is shocked that he wants time with his daughter. I think I would have DNF'd this one if it hadn't been Linda Kage at the helm of it. So just be aware before moving forward into this story.
