Sheri has twins, and she was meant to be a surrogate mom, but something changed. And now there's a stranger knocking on her door.Author Mimi Barbour keeps her reader's intriguingly unsettled as her romantic novella, The Surrogate's Secret, begins. The stranger's obviously going to be a love interest, but quiet surprises are waiting, keeping the reader pleasingly glued to the page. Of course, Sheri's not the only person dealing with past hurts. And she's not the only strong character in this tale. Miguel and his mother are used to fighting and winning, and just might turn out to be the good guys in a curious romance that travels from DC to the jungles of Columbia.All the requisite misunderstandings, strong characters and determined  individuality can't keep these two away from hot romance, and the story ends with their bodies as entangled as their lives. The Surrogate's Secret is a tale filled with twists and turns too, and, if they're not always plausible, they are definitely fun and make for an enjoyable short read.Disclosure: I found a free ecopy and enjoyed it.
