You know I wonder if Anne Mather ever had children. Between this and another book of hers that I read recently I've got to believe the answer is no. Here the heroine is so afraid that the hero will find out that she is pregnant that she doesn't want to take care of her son who is in the hospital with a bunch of broken bones and is going to need a bunch of after care. And I know, he's her stepson but she has been his mother since he was 3 years old. She married and stayed married for his sake. Don't tell me that she is not his mother. In the other book it was the hero who felt only a "lingering responsibility" for his 23 year old son. WTF?

Well anyway, I didn't care much for the heroine of this book. She was basically an idiot for keeping her pregnancy secret. And then when he did find out, she refused to let him be any part of the process even though he told her he loved her. Meh. ( )
