This was ok but there were lots of parts that I just could not relate to. It seems the heroine was way to annoying and for no reason.  She is left a child by the mother's will.  She raises the baby for just a few months and is very attached. I get that.  However, the child's uncle, that had no idea his sister was pregnant, had a baby, left it to this gal, and then died.  Our heroine blames him for not being there for the sister.  REALLY, she was a rebellious teen that loses herself in a crowd of misfits, gets pregnant, then winds up in Hawaii.  And he is responsible because he is her brother? I had a sibling like this and there was NOTHING anyone could do to convince her to not throw her life away.  But, to get on with the story.He comes in with a big lawyer to fight for custody.  She proceeds to tell him how it is going to be?  I did mention that she was broke and really has no way to get herself a good lawyer so she goes to a friend that went to law school for help. Really, seems like she would have got more with honey than vinegar.  She has no visible means of support. lives on a boat in the harbor (great for toddlers), etc.  She is not a prime candidate to raise a child.  The only thing she  has going for her is the will.  Not sure it would stand up since it was a teen that made a lot of bad choices and was very ill when she wrote the thing.  It just seemed like she could have tried to get along and share the baby and it would have won her more points with him.  She didn't even want to let him see the baby after meeting and learning he was the child's uncle and his only family.  That just seemed stupid.I found this heroine to be very annoying.  I did just give up reading. I found I didn't care for the heroine and was really rooting for the uncle. I guess the whole scene just got on my nerves.  It was ok as much as I read, but I wouldn't read it again if I understood the characters at the beginning.  I found I really had no sympathy for the heroine, her actions bordered on "her problems" rather than doing what was best for the child.
