Megan returned to the remote ranch, and to the man who couldn't forgive her, with a two-year-old boy in her arms and a look of sadness in her eyes. Sending away the young, beautiful mother was impossible, for her child was also his, and now that he knew about Michael, Kel would never let him go.

Nice, enjoyable, typical Dallas Schulze book that was going along nicely until you are hit at the end with the secret baby and an abrupt ending.

“Michael’s father” is the story of Megan and Kel.
Heroine is hired as the hero’s housekeeper, and from the moment they meet sparks fly. He wants her as his bedmate, having burned by an ex wife before. She has faced enough rejections in her young life.
When her tenure ends, and she finds herself pregnant, she ends up making a tough decision.
The consequences forms the climax of the story.
If you like secret baby plots, this is an underwhelming one. I wish there was more angst, and the heroine’s reasons for hiding the pregnancy didn’t fully convince me.
Safe?????
2.75/5

1st, I want to clear something up, because the description on goodreads wasn't really accurate of the book.
The book opens with the h applying for a job as temporary housekeeper for the H. The 1st half of the book is spent on the 4 months the h works on the H ranch, and as each fight their ever growing feelings for each other and a very well written sexual tension. (When i read the description i expected the relationship to be revealed in flashbacks or shared stories, but thats not the case, the reader gets to read the whole development of the H/h love. )Then, in the middle of the book, the temporary job is over, and it cuts to 3 years later, where the h writes the H to please come see her, and when he does she reveals the existence of Michael.
I liked it, I found the love believeable and the tension palpable, but like most DS books the ending was a tad abrupt

Oh the dreaded hidden baby plot. Handled better than some, but still angers me. Proceed at your own risk.
