Pregnant With The Soldier's Son by Amy Ruttan, Amy Ruttan

5.0

This is my second read by [a:Amy Ruttan|2561526|Amy Ruttan|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1229532030p2/2561526.jpg] and I thank the author for sharing what she did at the beginning of the book.

A lover of classic heroes, Ingrid found and lost her own within the prologue, but the encounter did leave her pregnant.

The story starts in all its hot glory and then bam! It's straight to seven months later and how I loved that time jump. Hurrah! Dr Ingrid Walton is an orthopaedic surgeon who has always led a safe life, except for that one night when she broke all the rules.

The new trauma surgeon at the hospital where Ingrid works, Dr Clint Allen is surprised to see a very pregnant her, the one he spent one night with from so many months ago, from before when he had to leave for his overseas assignment and was looking only for one night.

THEY'RE SO FREAKING ADORABLE!!!
Really, especially when Ingrid releases her wrath upon Clint. Hilarious! And when the baby barfs on daddy dear.

I love pregnancy romances, but this one was about so much more. It was about two people who claw back to life even after the deep traumas they suffered. It was a story of hope, of healing together, of seeking/taking help when it is needed.
Although some grovelling wouldn't go amiss at the moment.

That forever seems to work! Haha... There is a surprise toward the end of the story. And the way Clint bonded with baby Jase was adorable or not, depends on your perspective. But I definitely liked how it was not all cute baby stuff as it usually happens in romances. Oh no...this one would gross you out, but in a good way.

It was sorrow and joy and magic that created this story. Sorrow at what Clint thought he could have had before his tour of duty; joy at what as a reader I felt when they (Clint, Ingrid, baby Jase); however broken, always came together as a family; and magic at the way the author created this tiny world of these three wonderful characters.

This is the first time ever that I didn't feel the need for an epilogue in a story. Truly magical!
