on Kindle. New to me author. Random audio book, cliche strong single mom, badly written kid and guy who feels guilty, Some of this novel, I'd like to say was boring but a better and more apt word would be slow, The start of the novel and middle parts were slow moving compared to others, However I did adore the characters, they were well written, The end of the novel perked everything up and made it much more enjoyable, I am a longtime fan of author Elizabeth Lane's historical romances, and I was intrigued when I learned she would be venturing into contemporary romance with the Harlequin Desire line.

good western Yıllar Sonra, .

This one was a total waste of reading hours, . . en realidad
Una lectura ligera y bonita This is the first book I've ever read by Elizabeth Lane and it wasn't too bad.


Common romance novel story line, boy falls in love with girl from the wrong side of the tracks, girl becomes pregnant, boy dies, and girl blames herself and vows to keep the child hidden from the boy's family.
Twin brother finds out about child and coerces girl and child to move in with him, sexual attraction ensues, Misunderstandings are cleared up and everyone lives happily ever after,

What I did like was the subtle deviation from the typical plot line, Instead of Jordan forcing Angelina to marry him or else have her child taken, he offers to bring her to the ranch so Lucas can live in a safer environment.
Even though Angie refuses at first, she does understand how it could be better for her son and reluctantly agrees but sets down a few rules to maintain her independence.
I admire that, she was stubborn but she also knew when to compromise with Jordan so they both could get what they wanted.
Lucas was sweet and although there was some unnecessary drama involving him and a snowstorm, I felt he played enough of a role in the story and wasn't just a prop pulled out for convenience.


Aside from the predictable storyline and some of the unnecessary drama both of which were easily resolved making them even more unnecessary.
I felt that the sex scenes were lacking, There were two supposedly hot trysts between the two in the book and while it started out good it ended all too quickly.
If you're going to write an explicit sex scene you should go all in or it ends up feeling like a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" moment.


If you're looking for a quick fluffy read

with little melodrama I would definitely recommend this book, Harlequin Silhouette DesireFor a moment I was expecting anguish story with misunderstanding that lead the Hero and heroine to their happy ending.


I was wrong,

Sure there was misunderstanding, but not much and I can feel the heat, There was angsty feeling but it's just not enough, The author's slow pace plot is a bit boring, the closure with Jordan's mother is not satisfying boy, how I hate that old cow! and I kind of want to slap Angie for not making up her mind.


There are moments when I want to stop reading but I can't, The storyline is good but I think it could be so much better than this, Great story Even though there was some hard times to get thru they choose their love over pride, Very good book. I liked both Angie and Jordan, Angie had been devastated by the death of Justin and the attitude of his family, When she discovered she was pregnant she decided to keep it to herself, When Jordan found them she had to decide whether to take him up on his offer of a home for them, I loved her independence and how she was doing her best to give Lucas everything he needed, She carried some guilty feelings over Justin's death and felt that letting Lucas get to know his father's family was the right thing to do.
But she was also attracted to Jordan and didn't see how a relationship had any chance of working, I liked the way that she stood up to Jordan's mother, She did have a bit of an inferiority complex which caused her to misinterpret some of the things Jordan said or did.
Jordan initially came across as pretty cold, I liked the way that he quickly came to love Lucas and was so good with him, He did have a lot to learn about how to work with Angie as Lucas's mother, but he was a pretty quick learner.
The biggest problem he had were his own guilty feelings over Justin's death and how he was keeping it secret from Angie.
There were a lot of things they had to face and deal with but were finally able to do it together, I found this book through the excerpt a day feature I subscribe to, After reading the first day's feature I bought the book,

It was good, Full of emotions but not much lightness to break it all up, I liked it and would check out Ms, Lane again. Really wish Goodreads and others would allow rating with half along with full, I keep going back and forth betweenampstars, It deserves more thanand yet I not sure i want to give it, I guess I will give it thebecause there were no major flaws,

Angie was devastated that her fiancé had been killed in a plane accident, before she was able to tell him that he was to become a father.
Having been called a gold digger by Justin Coopers family, among other things she felt no need to let them know either.


By a fluke Justin's identical twin brother Jordan Cooper saw her name on a web design, When he brought her web site he noticed a small child's head in a picture and hired a private investigator to find her.
After learning she had a son and listed Justin as the father on the birth certificate, he seeks her out and tells her he wants her and her son Lucas to come live at the ranch, because it is what Justin would have wanted.


Both are attracted to each other and had been before the crash that had taken Justin's life, Both feel guilty and feel they helped set in motion actions that lead to the crash,

At times the story just seemed to drag a little to me, Loved the way the little boy "Lucas" was portrayed, Also loved that Angie was not a pushover and stood up for herself, But yet something just seemed lacking for me and I can't quite put my finger on it, Good hero and heroine, a lack of discussions, some misunderstanding, I'm always a little skeptical when a character falls in love with the twin of his/her late spouse, And at times the boy talks and behave like an older boy would, but not ayo, Éste es el segundo libro que leo de esta escritora y hasta el momento me están gustando, Son historias ligeras, lindas, que te logran atrapar, Son perfectos para esos días en los que no sabes que leer y queres leer algo corto y lindo, Me gustó, a pesar de ser algo cliché, me gusta el hecho de que no es algo salido de la nada, si no una relación que pasó por varias etapas, lo único que no me gustó mucho fue las decisiones tomadas por el protagonista al inicio de todo.
