Sparrow
A single shot echoed across the lobby, changing Madeline Sparrow’s life instantly. Moments ago, she was a young newlywed, pregnant with her first child and on her way to her first O.B. appointment. Now, she sits in the back of an ambulance, confused by flashes of Roger falling to his death and the gunman's lips upon hers.
As the months pass, she keeps the secret of her pregnancy, while trying to deal with the unfathomable loss of her beloved Roger. It only deepens her sense of loss, when his family attempts to take everything she has grown accustomed to away from her, by accusing her of an affair with the eligible doctor, Benjamin Clark, whom she met the day of husband's death. There was an immediate connection between the two, something that neither could explain. Madeline is the first woman that Benjamin has been drawn too, since the untimely death of his 20 week pregnant wife, Julie, in a tragic car accident. An accident which he blames on himself, and desperately tries to make amends for, by saving the lives of others.
Forced to leave the home that she and Roger created, Madeline moves to a new city, hoping to leave all the stress of the legal battle behind. But she didn’t expect to fall in love she didn’t expect to be loved. On the eve of that love blossoming and her impending labor, Madeline becomes a victim of violent crime. She finds herself fighting to regain her freedom and save the life of her child.

Not what I expected but wonderful anyways!
For some reason I expected this story to be a mystery. It was actually a romance with a little bit of suspense near the end and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I liked the characters, both the main and the secondary, and enjoyed watching the relationships develop.
There were some grammatical errors or typos (not sure which - for example 'brought' was consistently used instead of 'bought') but the story was so good that I was more than willing to ignore these editing issues.
The story was clean even though the main characters were clearly attracted to each other and interested in sex (no sex took place and the kissing was not explicitly described). There was no bad language ('crap' was the only exclamation) and no religious discussions. The little bit of violence is vital to the story and not at all graphic.

Wonderful!
Sparrow is a beautifully written, spellbinding story. I loved the characters and the relationships between them. The villains are detestable, yet don't take up too much of the story. Surprising climax. I loved it!

Excellent
This is a definite five star book, I will be looking for more of your stories. Really liked the video I'd characters and the fact it is not a cliffhanger
