Wow just wow how anyone could do that to a baby is just unreal. I can see why he hid his son away like he did. I can also see why he thought she was to blame. I couldn't imagine what she went thru along with what he went thru. The things he was able to uncover were just heart breaking. I look forward to seeing the next chapter for them.

Wow
One of the best books I’ve read in awhile. I suspected Katherine and for a minute Molly but never imagined the twist with the father. This was a great mystery and I enjoyed every page.

This is the story of Astrid and Logan. These two split up after a tragedy. Meeting again after five years apart hasn't diminished their feelings for each other. I enjoyed this second chance romance as secrets are revealed and christmas magic lends a hand. This story hit all the right notes for me.

Astrid and Logan were engaged, so happy and expecting a baby. When things go wrong around the birth and she loses the baby and Logan, Astrid leaves for five years. Logan and Astrid are both back in town for the holidays with family when they cross paths. Astrid doesn't understand why Logan is so angry as he is the one who left her. Will all the secrets and misconceptions come out in time for them to grow close again? Who did that to them? Lucas is precious and a huge surprise. Can they make something work? So much time has been missed. Loved the characters, their backstories and reasoning. Determination and chemistry plays a big part. The storyline is so real with all the deception, secrets, and hidden agendas. Very understandable as to why things turned out the way they did, but determination can help correct so much. Can they get past it all? Will their families accept them again? Five years is a long time when a child is involved. Terrific ending.

Lacey Kendrick is one of my most favorite authors. I know when I read one of her books that she will deliver a quality story that I am going to love. One thing that I really like about Lacey is the fact she is not afraid to write something different keeping her stories unique. She always keeps me on my toes which is a huge contributing factor to why I love her books so much. Her plots never fail to be original and intriguing with wonderful characters making for one exciting and entertaining read. Honestly, Lacey surprised me this story and just keeps proving to me that she has a true gift with story telling. I am so excited to see what new adventure Lacey will take me on with her next book.
Astrid and Logan shared a beautiful relationship and planned on getting married. Astrid was pregnant and they couldn't wait to welcome their little girl into the world. Logan is busy trying to save the families business and is gone a lot. Unfortunately, Logan is on a business trip when Astrid goes into early labor and there appears to be something seriously wrong. Now, five years later these two return home for Christmas, but things are very different from the past they shared. Astrid returns home to share Christmas with her family. Logan isn't alone - he now has a son. When they unexpectedly run into one another Astrid's broken heart comes back strong and she is feeling very confused and hurt. Logan feels nothing, but anger towards Astrid and her past actions. One thing is for sure the attraction they shared for one another still exist and neither of them know what to do about it. How will Astrid feel when she meets his son Lucas? Can old wounds be healed? One thing is for sure - what they believed actually happened the day Astrid went into labor does not match up.

Astrid and Logan were young lovers expecting their first child and planning a future together when tragedy struck. The loss of a child and the man who said he loved her, but instead abandoned her has left Astrid wary of love and relationships. Five years have passed and she has come back to her home town to spend the holidays with her sister and father for the first time since the loss jog her baby. Logan is also back in town on his family estate and is still safeguarding the secret he has kept for five years. Their first encounter his hostile, awkward and tense, but so many emotions are simmering below the surface for both of them. They each carry a deeply held pain as well as a deep sense of betrayal. Logan’s glare so filled with anger and loathing confuses Astrid. He r reachion during their encounter also confuses Logan. He wonders how she could look so hurt and bewildered after what she did. As their story continues, we learn their horrifying story, the truth of what happened five years ago is revealed, and two broken hearts are finally mended and given the chance to forge a much deserved happily ever after.
I loved the chemistry of these two together and the way their friends worked to bring them together for a second chance at love. Both Astrid and Logan found the strength to move on after tragedy, to keep moving on instead of becoming mired in the grief, anger and despair. Their story is both fascinating and compelling, as well as heartbreaking.

Logan and Astrid's first connection had sparks igniting between them that led to them expecting a baby. When she went into labor early, she was led to believe that she lost the baby. Fast forward five years later and she and Logan meet again only this time Logan is livid with her and she can't understand why. When the truth comes out it will lead to some eye-opening revelations that will devastate Astrid and bring her and Logan together again. This story had me glued to the pages from start to finish with the twists and turns that it takes to get to the truth.

This was an okay read for me. There were parts I liked but most of it felt rushed and I ended up finishing with more questions then answers.

Sorrow
This story was a heartbreaker. When the full truth came out once, they allowed the other to explain, and the trust was able to come to light.
One person was a surprise to me. that caused the extreme hurt.
Very good story

I have read lots of Lacey's books but this one is her best yet that had me reading at 4.30am to find out what happens.
This book is beautifully written that had me in tears of joy and sadness and other moments so shocked I could catch files where my jaw dropped!!!
All I'm going to say about the book is Astrid and Logan fell In love young he worked with his father's company but his father got ill and Logan had to takeover sooner than he thought, which meant lots of travelling. During this Time Logan and Astrid got pregnant but it all ended badly. Astrid thought one thing and Logan another which led them to break up. Astrid moved away and Logan stayed at their hometown building up his business. Then the book Skips to five years later and Astrid feels it's time to move back home. Will she see Logan? What led to their heartbreak five years ago?
Will they be able to rekindle that strong love they once had?
This book is the most emotional story I've read In a long time. Some parts of it was shocking and I didn't see it coming. Others had tears falling Non-Stop. This is a must read for those who love Lacey's books but also a must for those wanting to read a beautifully written love story.
This is a 5⭐️ 10/10 book of the year for me.

This was a different kind of billionaire romance story I have read to date - and a good thing! I’ve been accustomed to domineering alpha men who are super rich and come across a woman of lower social status. This one was not that way at all and I LOVED it!
Logan and Astrid have history….as young kids. They had a love so deep and inseparable at a young age and while engaged were essentially torn apart from each other after giving birth to their child…..But by who and why? That is the question that you find the answer to as you read this story.
To avoid spoilers I won’t say more about the plot but I LOVED the characters in this story. Logan, wealthy and successful business man, who took over his fathers company upon his death. This business was struggling and Logan knew he had to work hard to build it back up. He couldn’t seem to figure out why Astrid had disappeared the very day she gave birth.
Astrid, beautiful young woman, full of life, you can tell she’s always been loved by everyone which is why Logan had gotten so heavily drawn to her. When they were together she supported 💯 percent and I can’t help but admire her. While engaged her and Logan become with-child. And on that day she went into labor and delivered her child, everything in her life changed. And things are not always what they had seemed….
Love, anger, grief, forgiveness, loyalty, betrayal and second chances….This is a must holiday story to read!!.
