Pros: The book had a good pacing.  It was nice to follow their story over time.  Cons: none of the twists could be followed because they were just not given much information so we could not care about betrayals or loss.  But none of that was good enough to overcome the fact that I never liked the heroine. Spoilers -  Spending so much time drinking and at happy hours she didn't strike me as a good mom.  She drunk enough that she should have had DT's after she got pregnant. She wasn't a good worker, didn't know her own staff or wasn't even considerate.  Author went overboard about epidural and did not have the mom even nurse her baby even though she had no outside job and it would have been more realistic if she was breastfeeding since it is safety issue. I am surprised that they didn't slip poison into food to kill the baby and possibly the whole family.  And she didn't even wrestle with the morality of his profession when she found out.  If I wasn't bored I would not have bothered to finish it and I definitely won't bother with the sequels.I hate to say that about a book because the writer has potential.
