It had to
be a joke.
Any minute
now, a van would drive up and Ashton Kutcher would slide the door open,
laughing hysterically at my melodramatic performance on the front porch.
But nothing
happened.
The words
on the page jumbled into a toxic mess my brain refused to comprehend, much less
accept.
Please consider this letter as a formal request
to arrange a paternity test (DNA).
I barely
remembered Chelsea Airy.
That wasn’t
true—we’d gone out once, and we’d been friends for a while after. But I hadn’t
heard so much as a peep from her since I’d gotten married. I’d reached out a
handful of times, but she’d quit responding and fell off the face of the earth.
There hadn’t been a text, an email, a phone call, not even a Facebook message,
much less a stork in the last five years.
My wife
could forgive a lot, but she’d never wanted children—much less another woman’s.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I went in to it thinking I knew how this story was going to go from reading the synopsis but I was so wrong. James unexpectedly receives the news that he has a child he knew nothing about and after that bombshell the story takes us back to the past and we start to find out James' history with his wife Cora and the events leading up to James shocking news. I don't want to go into too many details about the story if I can help it as I really don't want to spoil it for anyone. I loved James from the start. He's pretty much the perfect man and that doesn't change throughout the story. Not once did I hate him even though he came across as a bit of a walk over at times, I still really liked him. I did struggle at first with Cora and I'm not sure why. I think maybe because we get everyone else's POV first it made me warm up to them quicker than I did with Cora but by the end I loved her. This story spans years, from James and Cora meeting at school up to the present day. There's plenty of details and history to make you feel like you really know all the characters and there's plenty to keep you interested. You feel the same highs and lows that the characters do and i was desperate for James to get his HEA. |
