Her Baby, His Love

A woman who has endured abandonment by her parents as a child, and suffered unhealthy relationships with men finds herself pregnant and alone. An ex-con rebuilding his life finds himself drawn to her and wishing for a future he has only dreamed of. In a town called Charity full of wonderful characters who support each other, they build a friendship and love for one another. Written in a slow and deeply detailed manner, the story seems to dwell on the negative, live in the past more than the present, and take forever to reach a happy ending with few moments of happiness to get there.

I’m giving this one 3.5 stars … I’m not quite comfortable with giving it 4 but it definitely doesn’t deserve 3. As you can imagine this story spends a lot of time delving into trust issues. Taylor has had some really bad luck with men and so she’s pretty much at the point of thinking they are all going to treat her poorly. Then when she does meet one that seems like he could be different, he turns out to be an ex-con. Not having known anyone who has gone to jail, she’s pretty much only got stereotypes to go off of. It’s a slow process as Joe shows Taylor what an up-standing guy he is, regardless of a stupid choice in his youth. There is a lot of back-and-forth on the romance side of things as they both struggle with timing and their own histories. I can understand where Taylor comes from on a lot of stuff but Joe really is a good man and he shows it. There comes a point where I think that some readers might be tired of her attitude but luckily she figures things out. *** I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book.

Taylor and Joe are attracted to each other but the timing and circumstances seem to be wrong. Can Joe accept another man's baby? Can Taylor handle Joe being an ex-con? I enjoyed this sweet and heartwarming romance. The supporting characters were entertaining as well. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
