About:
The love of your life… or your biggest mistake?
It’s hard, meeting your ex after so much time apart. You remember the hurt, the tears and accusations, but you try not to show it. You smile politely, even while your heart beats faster.
You watch as he looks down into the stroller, at the beautiful blond-haired blue-eyed baby kicking his little legs in the sunshine, whose innocent smile lights up your world.
You see his face change. You know what he’s thinking.
The next day he calls. His voice is shaking. He wants the truth. Is it his child?
You hesitate, your throat dry, good and bad memories swirling in your mind. You’ve missed him so much… but can you ever trust him again?
After a sleepless night, you arrange to meet, agreeing that the most important thing is doing what’s right for baby Tom.
But months later, when the sirens wail in the night, you have to admit: you never thought either of you would go this far…
Review:
I have read this author before and found her books excellent, and this was no exception. Whilst the suspense rose I could see the trap that was being laid and the natively of Sam. I wanted his close friend Miranda to warn in but alas she doesn’t believe it is her place. I wondered at times why Sam couldn’t see Miranda’s love for him and why he couldn’t be happy with her and her daughter, giving him the child he craved. I loved Joyce and reading about the development of her character but shocked at how she meets her her demise. Will Naomi stop at nothing to get what she wants. The author leaves you with some doubts along the way, and gives you food for thought, if we want something so badly we create the image that it is right for us, in Sam’s case, Tom looking like him. However the ending will floor you, it was not something I saw coming.
