I’ve never been a fan of secret baby plots so I wasn’t sure how well I’d like Serenades going in even though I love author Nikki Duncan’s work. She managed to make it work without making the heroine look like a martyr and the hero a scumbag. In addition she managed to convey how much these reunited lovers still felt their connection even being separated for 14 months without contact. It was easy to feel the pull between these two, the need, and even the love though neither one was quite sure what it was at first. This is absolutely one of those holiday stories that will melt your heart as well as your silky holiday panties!You have to love Aimee Smith the fun loving waitress who enjoys renaming the drinks she serves in Hauk’s Whispering Cove bar to suit the season. Who wouldn’t want to try a Dick the Halls or a Pina Cock-a-lada? Aimee and her sister, Carmen, haven’t lived in town long but the minute they landed they were adopted in as residents and even when Aimee found herself unmarried and pregnant, they wrapped their arms around her and supported her throughout her pregnancy and delivery. Aimee never imagined being a single parent yet she had no issues with raising her baby, she only wishes her father felt the same way.Singer and songwriter Josh Bryan can’t wait to get back to Whispering Cove. Since he was last in town, his life hasn’t seemed right. He’s come back for a special Christmas concert but he’s also come back to see the woman he can’t get off his mind. Filled with regret for not contacting her sooner, Josh is back and hopes to rekindle what they started; he just doesn’t realize how much things have changed in the last 14 months.I admire Aimee’s strength and dedication to her daughter and they way she’s handled everything that was thrown at her when she least expected it. She’s a strong woman but she also has a great support system to help her and she’s so thankful for them all. Josh is one of those men that women adore but because he’s an artist, he’s a little flighty and a lot self centered, however I like the fact that he admits right off the bat that he regretted the way they left things before. I also love that once he knows about his child, he makes no bones about how important both Aimee and they baby are to him. He doesn’t question, he doesn’t make accusations, he simply accepts and that bought him some major points in my book.I really loved this story; the hope, the joy, the reunion, and of course the new life that changes them both for the better. Serenades is sure to warm your heart and fill it with the holiday spirit we all enjoy!Review copy provided for an honest review.
