As Jack try's to save his son and Gina he will have to decide if he has room in his heart for anyone but Hayley.UGH this book was a pain and very hard to read. This story was about Jack, and Gina but they star of this book was Hayley Jack's deceased wife. I don't pretend to have a clue what it would be like to loose a spouse but if I am reading romance I don't want my hero to love his ex or deceased spouse more or close to the heroine and Jack loved Hayley period. If you asked me who Jack loved at the beginning of this book I would say Hayley, if you asked who he loved in the middle of this book I would say Hayley, and if you asked me who he loved MOST at the end I would say Hayley. She was mentioned more than Gina and in fact at 93% Jack says he loves them both, seriously. I was so sick of hearing about Hayley while reading this book that I struggled just to finish it.I also get that hiding a baby is wrong Gina shouldn't have done it but I also understood it Jack made it clear he still loved his wife and didn't want kids and there was nothing between them. But Gina was still wrong. Having said that I think through most of this book Jack was a jerk, and I think he treated Gina like crap and I also got sick of him complaining about how much Gina made. Get over it she rich but she made it all on her own and used to be homeless give the girl a break and grow up. I do think this book was written very well but in the end I think Gina and Eli deserved someone better, I also think in the end if Hayley had come walking in the door that Jack would have dropped both Gina and Eli for Hayley(oh how romantic).thank you Netgallery for an ARC copy to review
