More
than a year has passed since Paige told her boyfriend, Mitch that she
was pregnant. More than a year since he disappeared from her life.
Fortunately, Paige has a strong support system and doesn't have to
cope with everything on her own. Her daughter, Brianna is now seven
months old, and while things aren't a breeze, Paige has put Mitch in
the past and is ready to move on.
Mitch
has had a rude awakening, finally recognizing what he gave up when he
decided to desert Paige. He wants to be a part of his daughter's
life, though he doesn't think he can get over Paige's betrayal.
When
Mitch comes back home, he finds that he can't just waltz back into
Paige's life and insert himself in as Brianna's dad. He starts to
realize what Paige gave up to have his daughter and how much she
still means to him. He begins to acknowledge that his feelings for
her have not vanished, but will she ever forgive him for leaving her
when she needed him most?

Beverley Kendall
created a great story with characters that reached out and grabbed me
emotionally. I could feel Paige's pain and understand Mitch's
feelings. Both of them felt betrayed by the other. Paige had no
choice, she couldn't run away from the difficult situation, while
Mitch chose to run and hide.
I thought that
Paige really grew up into a responsible young adult and a good mom.
She didn't shirk her duties or try to make excuses. It took Mitch a
bit longer to gain his maturity, and there were a few places that I
though he deserved a slap upside his head to knock some sense into
there. But he quickly saw that he was being unreasonably unforgiving
to Paige.
I liked that Mitch
didn't immediately forgive Paige, it made the story more realistic.
But I loved that Paige made Mitch work for his forgiveness. He had a
LOT of grovelling to do, and he needed to prove that he wouldn't
continue to run away from his problems.
