Please note this review was written by a reader who has never met the author, and still wants to post a five-star review for a stranger's book.`The Baby Race' took me by surprise, mainly because a contemporary marriage of convenience sounded forced and (dare I say it?) a tad trite. But by the end of the first chapter, I found myself caught up in the ins-and-outs of a spunky heroine who is determined to prove to a social worker that she can provide a stable home for her young half-sister, and a tormented cowboy hero who is willing to do almost anything, even comply with his autocratic grandmother's baby race by entering into a marriage of convenience, for enough money to save his horse rescue ranch.Elysa Hendricks has crafted the kind of characters I would enjoy meeting, not to mention an interesting plot that drives the story to its compelling conclusion. This book held my interest until the last page, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a heartwarming romance about likeable characters, family warmth, and small town life.
