Product Description:
Twins? The startling revelation that his affair with Jenna Baker had produced two little boys was almost impossible to grasp. Tycoon Nick Falco had never considered himself the settling-down type, yet now that fatherhood had been thrust upon him, he was determined to give his sons his name. But their mother wasn't about to let him back into her life…at least not without those three little words Nick had never, ever said.

Another one of those candy for your brain books. It was a good story. You felt for the characters. I felt for the little babies. And I was happy in the end. Isn't that what these books are for? A fun read.

I can't believe someone thought this would be a good enough story to publish. Give me a break, girl meets boy, gets jilted, gets pregnant, gets boy again. That's about it folks. I just can't get into these simplistic stories. Totally predictable and boring, no adventure, no beautiful lands, no complicated personalities....this reminds me of something a 13 year old would love to read.

This book was HORRIBLE. I am so embarrassed that I read it that I have tried to completely remove it from my Kindle, but unfortunately can only "archive" it.
I thought this was a romantic comedy based on the cover that was pictured, so made the mistake of not realizing this was a Harlequin romance type novel when I bought it. (Okay, I got it for free which the only reason I took it). That was apparent soon after the first page, but since the last time I read such a book was when I was a teenager, I thought I'd at least quickly read it to see if the genre has changed.
Well, the answer to that is a resounding NO!! I cannot believe the good reviews this has gotten. Either the author has a lot of friends, or there are a lot of women out there still believing in white knights and shining armor, or they are all naïve teenagers living a very protected life.
I KNOW this is a fantasy, but geez, an ounce or two of reality may have at least made it somewhat believable.
So, let me get this straight--a woman doesn't tell her billionaire boss she is an employee, sleeps with him, and then gets fired. What would really happen--when he found out, his attorneys and HR department would work out a "settlement". (And by the way, we are supposed to believe she is not at all interested in his money.)
Then, per the story, she gets pregnant with twins and she tries to tell him by EMAIL?????? This scenario is so ludicrous, I don't even know where to start. First of all, in real life, she would not be doing the contacting, her attorney would. But let's just say she is so convinced that the billionaire will respond better if she doesn't use an attorney, does any person in their right mind think that a billionaire actually reads their own email???? That's what secretaries and personal assistants are for. And even if he did look at his own email, which the story indicates he did but deleted without reading, after seeing the first 10 or so, he would have had his IT department set up a filter so he didn't receive them, or have his attorneys contact her for being a nuisance. At this point someone would have read one of the emails and he would have found out about the babies.
But no, she goes on a cruise to meet up with him. Amazing how a billionaire just walks around a cruise ship with no security. THEN, of all the MOST ludicrous things, when he finds out why she is there, he moves her into his OWN cabin to "keep an eye on her". Oh gee, I wonder what is going to happen next? To make it worse--she goes. This woman is so stupid, I found myself wishing some not so nice things would happen to her, but she has two babies, so I control my thoughts.
But alas, it is a romance novel, so the billionaire simply abandons his shipping business to sleep in her extremely small house on the sofa until she agrees to spend forever with him. And I went into my bathroom......

That's one of the problems with the Kindle. If I'd been in a bookstore, I would have realized that this was a too-short, too-simple romance story. So predictable, and so unbelievable even for a simple romance story. Not even worth a beach read.
