Review: Boring and over-emotional
Rating: 2 out of 5

he book had a rocky start for me...I just couldn't get into the tone of the writing...it was a little unpolished for my liking. The story starts by being told from the point of view of Jake and it was fitting for a 20 year old guy...but it just wasn't sexy. Then we flash forward 8 years and we find out that Mira got pregnant from pre-ejaculation...hmmm, not a great start. But she couldn't tell Jake because she couldn't find him...but lo and behold, they randomly run into each other at a PT office in Seattle, where we learn Jake lost a leg in the war. I was willing to let all of this back story go and give the book a chance because I liked the reunion interaction between Jake and Mira and I like that she told him right away about their son. But I got about halfway through the book and I just got bored...every time I thought we were going to get into the romance..there was just a lot of talking about why they shouldn't do something. It just bored me. In the end, the book was a bit to over-emotional for me. I really should just learn my lesson about books like this...I don't like the "I got pregnant but the guy doesn't know"...story. It's never been done to my liking. I would read this author again...as long as there are no kids involved.I received a title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
