This wasn't a bad book. More specifically, this book kept its promise as far as the general requirements for the genre were concerned: there was a tortured alpha male who was sexy and yummy.  The female lead had her own baggage to carry and tried very hard to come to terms with the threat she was facing. Stereotypes? Well, not really because the heroine still fought hard with the long—term consequences of childbirth and the effects on her body and the hero didn't mind to take on the manny job — although he was military man.The main characters were both likeable. However, there was neither enough character development, nor enough background information on the lead persons. Hence, the characters remained shallow and acted in strict frame within the plot.  Not even some really funny dialogues and situations between the hero/ine and the twins couldn't hide this lack.The plot itself was unproblematic and straight forward. No twists and turns. The roles were clearly assigned.  Maybe that was my problem. I would have appreciated a more complex story line and definitely more presence, action and interaction on the villain's part. I also totally missed the bad guy's insights and how he intended to reach his objective.Without giving anything away, there is a happily ever after. However the ending was far too rushed and didn't live up to my expectations. No epilogue or a glimpse at the couple and kids as they had worked out their issues and differences. What a pity!If you are looking for an easy and quick afternoon's read, you might want to try this one.
