First, Hale needs to figure out if love can
ever happen by accident.
Review- 5 stars
I adored this book. ADORED IT!
At first, I was a little doubtful about how
the “arranged marriage” scenario would play out. Who can force that these day?
Wow, was I surprised? Misty Provencher was so creative in the way she spun this tale.
First of all, let’s swoon over Oscar, shall
we? Right from the first moment, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him. His
loyalty to his family is admirable. However, it was his ability to recognize
the level of love he would feel for Hale, right from the get go, that tumbled
me all the way in love with him. Oscar is a combination of Smooth and Suave,
mixed with just enough alpha to be oh so incredibly sexy. He is so patient with
Hale. The moment when he tells her that she is perfect for him and he is
waiting for her to see that he is perfect for her…I melted.
Hale is understandably confused and stubborn.
She obviously doesn’t believe in the “love” that Oscar envisions as quickly as
he does. So much of that stems from the differences in their circumstances
growing up. It was nice to see her thaw and start to give in to the feelings
that she was developing for Oscar, instead of remaining stubborn until the last
page (I hate when an author does that!).
This is a beautiful love story and I’ll read
it again and again.

Landon Grace is a stand-up guy, but running
about 7-bananas-strong, from tequila shots at Oscar and Hale's wedding
reception, what happened between him and Sher Simmons was supposed to be a one
time thing. A quickie, between the Best Man and Maid of Honor, at their best
friends' wedding.
But some one-night-stands refuse to be
finished in one night.
Especially when they return with a hard shot
of morning sickness.
Now, Landon is faced with a problem he never
thought he'd have to consider...
Just how much sway does a guy really have,
regarding a woman's choice to pursue or terminate the pregnancy of his child?
Review
If you haven’t read Hale Maree, I strongly
recommend that you do before reading this book.
Landon began endearing himself to me in Hale
Maree. He seemed so fun of fun and laughter. I was excited to follow up with
him in his own story. Writing the whole book from Landon’s POV was brilliant. His
personality was perfect for telling what, at times, was a very heavy story. I
loved being inside his head. He is funny, passionate, a little alpha dominate,
determined, and loving. His immediate acceptance of the baby and desire to be a
father, melted my heart. I ached for him in his fight for that little one. He
is the superhero of the story, not only in his pursuit of his child
(genetically or not), but his pursuit of Sher, who I didn’t always feel
deserved it.
Let me first say, I loved this book. However,
it will never top Hale Maree for me. Mostly because Sher really drove me crazy
for a lot of the book. First with the giggling, then with her determination to
terminate the pregnancy without considering the feelings of Landon. My heart
broke for him, and I really want to slap her upside the head. At the same time,
they complement each other, and I enjoyed watching them fall in love. I
understood her fear of raising a child with the other possible father’s DNA,
but I was disappointed that, by the end of the book, she was still unwilling to
have faith in Landon’s feelings for her beyond the genetics of the baby. I did
eventually come to love her, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t frustrated by her
attitude and decisions.
Overall, Sher and Landon are a fun couple, all
though Landon is absolutely what sells the book for me. He is dreamy…

About Misty ~
Misty Provencher is a long-term wife, mama, and author. The
first two are a bit more recent, but Provencher's writing roots date back to
the hieroglyphics she left in her mother's womb.
While Provencher can ride a motorcycle, knows how to Karate
chop, and has learned enough French, Spanish, and Sign Language to get herself
slapped, Misty's life is actually just the ruse she uses to connect with
people. She is totally enchanted with them and spends her days trying to
translate the soul bouquets of her muses into words.
Misty Provencher lives in the Mitten.
