Not one of Greene's best. It just didn't wow me as much. Hero lived with a gambling addicted father and fears he is like him. h is his CPA. h is attracted to H and has feelings for him but when a child he doesn't know he had is dropped on him, h starts doubting whether she really knows the H. Of course she falls for how in love he is with his son.
Molly and her boss have some chemistry going, but she sticks to nice (boring) men and because of family dynamics, he is convinced that he isn't one. A woman from his past, suddenly produces a one year old baby, claiming it is his son, dumps him on Flynn and disappears. Since Flynn has no idea what to do with the baby, Molly steps in to help and along the way they find each other. I give this just an ok, because it did not have the depth that the story deserved and then just suddenly ended.
I want to give this book a 3.5 stars. I liked it more than 3 but there were a few things that held me back from a 4. Whenever the hero said he loved the heroine we were told again and again in what seemed like the same words why she couldn't believe in them. After a while the repetition felt like it was being pounded into my brain.
