SPOILER ALERT ***********Many romance novels nowadays seem to follow the plot where a woman has a baby, the man doesn't know about it and she doesn't tell him because "he might take the baby away from her" and demand full custody. Well, why would he bother? Unless there is a powerful family involved, the man is a control freak or the mother a drug addict, there is no reason why a man would take a child away from its mother, nor would the courts allow it.The hero, Simon, arrives when Jenna has an accident which renders her comatose. We are not told how he finds this out, but he discovers Faye, Jenna's best friend looking after Hannah, Jenna's daughter. They soon discover that Jenna has lied to Faye and not told Simon about the child.Nothing much happens in the plot, no twists to speak of and the supposed passion between the main characters is mediocre. What was implausible was Simon making an idiotic decision which is resolved in a couple of pages at the end of the book.IMO, the author missed an opportunity to infuse emotion and depth to the story. Even the heroine's childhood background is stereotyped and uninteresting.A book about which I would have to say - "Little ado about little."
