A friend sent me this in a box of Love Inspired Books. I think I've read at least one of the others in the "Alaskan Grooms" subseries--only because Love, Alaska having Operation Love where they invited single women to come find husbands sounds familiar.

The pluses:
*Paige and Cameron have a history--which makes it more believable to me that they'd get engaged and married in the time frame covered by this book.

*Paige and Cameron have worked through several issues by the time they get to the point of engagement, which makes me think they'd continue to do so in the future. And they do both seem to be looking out for what's best for their daughter.

The minuses:
*These types of books make it seem like you can have a child whose existence you hide from the baby's father, then just reveal it one day and the baby's father will A) Accept the baby without reservation and B) fall in love with you and the two of you will live happily ever after. Please do not plan to do this in real life and expect the same results. Could it happen? Yes. Will it happen? Unfortunately, I can more likely see the baby's father wanting a DNA test to prove paternity.

*The issues seem to get cleared up awfully easily. Cameron reads the letter from Paige's father and suddenly he's ready to follow her to Seattle if that's what it takes--never mind all the soul-searching he's done about loving Paige again up to that point. Cameron hears that Paige got a trust fund from her mother and that's why she was spending money at that crucial juncture (does she have no sense? The town thinks she was in on the embezzlement and she's spending money on a Hawaiian vacation? No, no one's going to question that at all.) and he just believes her and all is forgiven that he doubted her? ( )

Alaskan Reunion (Alaskan Grooms #2) by Belle Calhoune

Alaskan Reunion brings you back to Love, Alaska a small town trying to increase its population by enticing women to come meet their soulmate. Paige hasn’t come to meet her soulmate. She is returning because of a promise made to her dying father and to introduce her daughter to Cameron, the father that know nothing about her. This book is about people jumping to conclusions in trying times and taking actions before the truth is known. It is also about faith, forgiveness, second chances and getting things right with your soulmate. This is the second book in this series and I’m looking forward to the next one. I recommend this book to anyone that likes a good clean romance
