I know I’m going to love this series, The Woman of Willow Bay, just from reading the first book. Nan Reinhardt builds a location for her story that is a place I would love to live without making it so ideal it doesn’t seem real.On the one hand it’s the well-known secret pregnancy from an instance of unprotected sex trope but because it has gone undetected for 16 years and the “baby” is now a teenager, there is a new and interesting spin on the story.As soon as the baby daddy comes to town it is impossible to overlook the similarities of father and son, from their ginger hair to their genius-level musical talents. When Carrie decides to introduce her son to his father she is too late. He’s already figured it out for himself.The last section of the book is a lot of waffling back and forth about where Carrie and Liam will live, and all the complications that their relationship brings up. Will one of them have to sacrifice a beloved career? How will Jack take the news? Is there a compromise that everyone can live with? Ms Reinholdt is very creative with her solutions and produces an ending that is highly satisfactory. Good book. Good series.
