Nice angsty read. The heroine, Kelly, had been abused by her religious zealot of a father for years. One night she sneaks out and ends up pregnant by the hero, Dan. When she realizes she's pregnant, she goes to Dan for money for an abortion but he wants the child instead and convinces her to have it. He already had one child that he had no contact with when his old girlfriend married another man, Dan's best friend. He really wants to be a dad. Kelly blooms under Dan's care and Dan realizes that he wants not only his baby but also a family with Kelly. Well written. The emotions seem believable. The story is not bogged down with too much recovery stuff. Mostly it's the developing feelings of the two main characters. This is a sequel to [b:Vow|614729|Vow|Dallas Schulze|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176339189s/614729.jpg|601170] which is the book where Dan's old girlfriend marries the other man.

Definitely a keeper for me. ( )
