Kathryn Brocato's Sutherland's Pride is a perfect book to read while under an umbrella at the beach or wrapped beneath a blanket in front of a warm fire. Ms. Brocato did a wonderful job building her heroine, Pride Donovan. I could almost taste the pain and betrayal this young single mother felt when she came face to face with her baby's father, Flynn Sutherland.Some may think Pride is too hard on Flynn, but not this reader. He held his own son in his arms and still believed that Pride cheating on him. I loved Flynn's character, but I wanted to reach into the book and give him a good "Gibbs slap'' a time or two. Talk about not seeing beyond the end of his nose.But Flynn grew on me. He believed the worst of Pride, even though he loved her, because her own father did the same. When he finally realized what a terrible mistake he made, he won me over completely by standing up and taking responsibility. He faced Pride, told her he was sorry, and asked her to forgive him. How can you not love a guy like that?Ms. Brocato was brilliant not end the story there. The ball was now in Pride's hands. She had a made a few mistakes as well. She didn't just have to forgive Flynn, but open her heart to possible hurt again. She watched her parents live years in a terrible marriage because they couldn't forgive and forget. But Pride realized that her life didn't have to be like her parents. She could create a loving family for her son with the man she never stopped loving. She just had to forgive herself along with Flynn.Sutherland's Pride is a delightful romantic contemporary about rekindled love and second chances. Find a quiet place, and disappear into this fast reading romance that is guaranteed to pull on a few of your heart stings before you reach an adorable happy-ever-after.
