This has all the elements for a gripping story: girl from the wrong side of the tracks who makes good; rich, powerful guy; cute baby: drunken mother, evil father, etc. So what needs to be there to make it successful?First, the author needs to brush up on her verb tenses, especially the "perfect," to make the references less jarring. The writing is quite choppy at times. Second, the heroine runs hot and cold towards the hero, and he is the same towards her. One minute they're panting after each other; the next, they're throwing distrust left and right. Third, the baby seems to be the big draw at making them a couple--"instalove" once he meets her. SPOILER+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Why then, does the hero abandon her and the baby for a week at a time whenever something upsets him? He does this even after the h has been attacked by someone close to both of them. The baby has just lost her mother. Wouldn't he realize that security is especially important? Stick around for crying out loud!Why 2 1/3 Stars? Weird rating, I know, but I finished it even though I wanted to hurl it across the room several times. I would even be wiling to read it again if it undergoes editing.
