gamz 's review for:

The Baby Secret by Helen Brooks
3.0

A sweet story of a couple working through lots of misunderstandings that separated them on the day after their wedding.

Although the name is somewhat of a tease because the baby in question was no real secret. The h walked out on her husband after one night together because her witch of a mother told her her husband had another woman. This led to a separation and lots of misunderstandings between H and h.

I have to hand it to the H though, he worked his butt off to fix his marriage. The h's childhood issues and wicked witch of a mother was the reason that she could not trust the H.

I also loved William, the h's bff. He was in love with her but understood she loved him like a brother. So he was there for her but never tried to make a move on her. He only wanted to see her happy and was there with excellent advice when she needed a friend.

It took the h a loooong time to come to the realization that she had a good thing, but I blame that on her witch of a mother and the horrible way the witch raised her.

Overall, an absolutely enjoyable read, even if the h was steeped in insecurities and annoying at times.
