Very sweet & simple contemporary romance story. I feel like i’ve read at least 5 books with an identical storyline but it did the trick, I still enjoyed the read. Plus I always appreciate an emotionally intelligent hero.

I wanted to love this….
I’ll start by saying secret babies are my jam. I love them. But I feel let down with this one.
Barrett and Sage met in a club in Atlanta when she was out with her college friends celebrating graduation and he was with his friends celebrating graduation medical school. They have insta-attraction and spend an earth shattering night together. In the morning she’s in such a rush to get back to her hotel to check out that she can’t wait the extra 30 seconds for him to find his cell phone, so she scribbles it on a piece of paper. Which he instantly loses. They both wanted to see where things could go, and both spend the next six years pining over the other. She also spends it raising the daughter he knows nothing about. She accepts a job in the small town he happens to live in, and their paths cross. Here is where the problems start. She believes he “used” her and never intended to call her (which let’s be real, regardless of their sparks it started as a hookup. You can’t be so mad). He is still head over heels and wants a relationship. She is supposed to be an attorney, but she is sort of TSTL. In six years she never considered what would happen if she found him? She said she would have to “start looking up Georgia child custody laws”. Really? As an attorney, particularly one more this might be pertinent, she never did that before? Then she goes on and on about how she always puts Eden first, but spends a month dating and sleeping with Barrett while hiding her existence. She tells herself she’s deciding if he’s trustworthy, but she must think he is trustworthy enough to date and sleep with.
“ I could date him without getting Eden involved for a while, and check him out. I could make sure it was safe to involve Eden before I told her about him and introduced her. I deserved a chance to be happy, right?”
What is that? She deserved a chance to be happy playing boyfriend/girlfriend before telling him he has a daughter? Pure. Selfish. She honestly behaved like a teenager and not a grown woman who is supposed to be an attorney. This book is like 90% internal dialogue, so you get front row seats to the immature thoughts. Overall, it left me frustrated.

horrible leading lady
The heroine in this story acted like a victim through the entire book when the hero was an amazing individual. Her number gets lost and it is all his fault according to her but she didn’t take his number, or ask his last name. Everything was poor me she hid his daughter not because he was of questionable character but because he might break her heart and because she had a crappy relationship with her own father. Ugh I hated her, he was amazing and I just wanted him to leave her sue for custody and live happily ever after. She was horrible, poor kid.

You can not help but become invested in the story and the characters. I loved how strong she had to become for herself and her child. This was a sweet, lovable story. If I could, I would give this book 100/10 stars.
