review 1: Another very solid, compelling contemporary romance. I love how Sarah Mayberry draws and shapes her characters, her leads and especially the secondary characters. None of them are paper thin and I feel like I know them a little. They are not there only to advanced the plot. They have a life of their own. I'm thinking about Rosie and Dominic's father that you get a glimpse of the man he is. I liked the story how the reader gets to see many point of view what it is to have children. Do you want children, can you have children, how you are a parent 'til the day you die. Unborn children, unexpected children, grown up children, wished children. The relationship between Lucy and Dominic is fun to watch grow and stumble (the stumble is indeed predictable but non unwelcome). I lik... moreed it. More like 3 3/4 stars but I rounded it up.
review 2: Lucia is pregnant; her boyfriend's long gone with a "nimble" yoga instructor; and she has to run her restaurant produce-delivery business on her own--not to mention give her Italian mother the news. Dom's family business supplies Lucia with produce...but he's always longed to supply her with more. Now that he's divorced, he still wants her--but will he mind reaping what another man has sown? Actually, the hero and heroine of this charming romance are perfect for each other in many ways, it just takes them most of the book to realize it. The themes of parenthood and fertility in its many guises--biological, adoptive, infertility, unplanned pregnancy, absent biodads, people who fear parenthood--are handled thoughtfully by Mayberry not only through the main plot but also a subplot about Lucia's sister. It's impressive that Mayberry manages to pull this off in a category romance given the length restrictions of the genre. less
