Review: Premise is a little yucky
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is a sweet, relatively clean romance novella with a clear happy ending. However, it's a rather odd premise that never set well with me. A young woman gives birth to her boyfriend's baby. He has deserted her, denying the baby is his, but his parents take her in when she begins to have complications. Soon after the baby's birth the boyfriend's brother returns from overseas duty, discovers the heroine in his parents' house with his brand new nephew. He falls in love with both right away. The resulting romance has a bit of an ick factor, especially since she obviously was with the brother just months ago. However, the author is careful to point out the differences between the brothers and that there's a reason for the heroine to choose Radley over Cameron. Cameron isn't a complete cad, but he is immature and was never in love with the heroine. Depends on whether you can overlook the fact that they become one large, strange family.
