I generally won't do a review on stories that I find tons of errors and flaws with because I'm not a writer so to me anyone that can bring a story together with a great plot, beginning, middle and proper ending the book would generally be a plus to me but I felt that this story was so promising and with proper editing could have had the potential to be a five star book! Also at $4.99 which I feel was a tad much for a story with so many errors, I was definitely giving my opinion on this one. However the concept of this story was great but there were tons of issues that continuously confused things for me. Like how at first it had been a year that Lucas grieved his wife then it turned to three years. Even the synopsis said three years. The entire situation with "Biological Baby daddy" really just made zero sense to me as well! I've  always loved stories of Devine Intervention, fiction or fact so although there was error after error I continued to read, pulling for the story to unfold beautifully. I get the whole "Marriage of Convenience" and I'd say that it was a bit too quick and unrealistic in this book but hey this was her story and that's how she choose to write it. One minute Bailey was in college the next, there was never any mention to her attending classes at all. There was also an issue to me with how Bailey knew the marriage was just to help her out her child was not biologically his but she would constantly say "Our Baby" and quickly expected so much emotionally from Lucas which I found just crazy as hell. I could see if Lucas had been around her the entire pregnancy watching her stomach swell and attending appointments etc. then okay he would have been building a bond but that wasn't the case so I didn't understand how Bailey could have expected anything other than his name and benefits! Lastly although she was adopted, she still had parents who raised her as their own and loved her, she was a college student living in the dormitory, Okay I get that but what I didn't understand is why in the beginning  after the incident that led her to meeting Lucas was she made out to be an extreme charity case with nothing, and no one, when she obviously was doing okay providing for her self as well as receiving prenatal care! I didn't feel any real love chemistry between Lucas and Bailey so along with that as well as everything plus more that I mention above I would rate this book 2 to 2 and 1/2 stars! I  have another story that I've purchased from this Author and I'm hoping that I enjoy it and the issue with this book aren't present in it as well!
