This story is what I call "light reading".  I have not read many Harlequin novels, but this seems to fit in with the format of the others.  There are no major obstacles to overcome and the story line flows quick and easy.  Although the main female character insists that she and her love interest have dynamically different personalities and could never begin a long-term relationship, their chemistry always suggests otherwise.  The shock of the pregnancy washes over the hero rather fast, and he seems to warm to the idea of moving from confirmed bachelor to having a wife and child in record time.  The reunited couple moves past the initial awkwardness of the situation with subtle ease and then seem to settle into a cozy and cute routine.I enjoyed reading this multicultural romance, but wish there was a bit more to the tale -- I wish we could have spent a little more time with the couple during the summer whirlwind romance (that resulted in this unexpected life change) -- I wish we could have learned a little more about the hero and his military career -- I wish their was less time spent on the future mother-in-law's adventures in online dating.  Otherwise, I was happy with this purchase (happy enough to buy it again after I accidentally returned it...don't ask, I have fast figures and a slow CPU).  Going forward, I hope that Harlequin adds more multicultural romances to the line-up of new releases from their main publishing house instead of pushing most of them into the imprints.
