I empathized with Jess at the start of the story.  How she felt so depressed after months of losing the only man she loved, to the point of thinking of ending everything drastically.  Thankfully to those who genuinely care for her, whether a friend or not, who saved her from doing something that she will regret the rest of her life, that is if she will not end it as well.  The emotions were so real and you could just feel with her.The joy of finding out she bears the only memory of her late husband within her has also come so heartfelt and you could only rejoice with her.  But the good part stopped there.  The marriage proposal to keep her baby safe from her father in law was so absurd.  To top it all, it came from the brother of her late husband's killer.  I don't find it amusing how such a company owner and supposedly bright person like Dan could only think of marriage as the solution.  But anyway, that is part of the love story so let's just go along with it.  After all it will actually endear Dan to the readers.  The way he tried everything to protect Jess and later on her baby is remarkable.  In fact Dan is the only loveable character in the book.I didn't like Jess and how she acted so helpless most of the time.  I mostly didn't like her idea of depending completely on Dan to support her and her child.  If there is at least some pride on her, she should've shown to Dan and his family that she actually didn't need their help and show them how strong she truly is.  I also didn't like the fact that Dan's mother and sister got mad at Jess, for what?  It is after all her son/brother who murdered Jess' husband.  Dan was right when he said that Jess shouldn't have been in that position and be with them, had his brother didn't kill her husband.I still would recommend this book, as the story is still beautiful, thanks to Dan.  May not offer you an in-depth romance but it at least shows you the start of one towards the end.
