Review: Unrealistic even for a romance
Rating: 2 out of 5

Romance fiction always has an element of fantasy/unreality included, otherwise there would not be the misunderstandings and making-ups which are mandatory of this genre.In the case of The Surrogate's Secret, there is one glaring mistake - the clinic would never have NOT told the client of the mix up, and left it to the surrogate to spill the beans somewhere down the track.The stand-off between the parties goes on for what seems like the better part of the book, the reasons for which are unbelievable. The housekeeper's angst is never explained satisfactorily and the ending is lame.Unfortunately, not my favourite romance novel. This is not Ms Barbour's finest effort.
