Un enfant pour toi

McCain Brothers #4

by Linda Warren

Un enfant pour toi, Linda Warren

Macy est bouleversée : Warren, l'homme qu'elle aime secrètement depuis l'enfance, vient de lui avouer qu'il l'a toujours aimée aussi et qu'il veut l'épouser. Mais comment pourrait-elle lui dire oui ? Depuis l'échec de son mariage - un échec dont elle a préféré taire les raisons jusque-là -, elle s'interdit de se laisser aimer, et surtout de s'engager de nouveau : car si elle a divorcé, c'est qu'elle a appris qu'elle ne pourrait sans doute jamais mettre au monde de bébé en bonne santé, jamais fonder de foyer... Dans le même temps, sa vie prend un tournant inattendu : elle se retrouve soudain responsable du bébé de sa demi-sœur, qui vient de s'enfuir en laissant l'enfant à l'hôpital. Aussitôt, Warren lui renouvelle sa proposition : il veut l'aider à élever le bébé. Former une famille avec lui, ce serait merveilleux pour Macy... Pourtant, elle n'imagine pas accepter son offre sans lui dire la vérité. Pas plus qu'elle n'ose imaginer comment il réagira si elle lui confie son douloureux secret. Se détournera-t-il d'elle ? Choisira-t-il d'aller vers une autre femme, une femme capable de lui donner des enfants bien à lui ?

Good Read

A really enjoyable reading experience.Mystery,suspense,laughter and 😢.But all in all the story was good.I'll be looking forward to reading more from this author.

[Anne Holly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Solid story, with interesting characters. The hero is the main focus of this story, which is fine since he is the more interesting of the MCs (the heroine is a bit weak). Beau comes off as a bit too good at times, but he's certainly a sweetheart, and it's hard not to like him.

There were more than the average amount of typos in the copy I read, with a number of odd word choices and errors, which did hamper my enjoyment a bit.

This is the second McCain Bros story from Linda Warren I've read - out of order, and by chance. I like the close-knit family aspect, but it's kind of implausible that this much drama would happen to a single family. Perhaps the family is just cursed?

ETA: Re-read, 22 July 2014. This held up reasonably well for a re-read. It's still pretty ridiculous when they launch into their litany of McCain Traumas, and it makes me laugh when they do (repeatedly), but it's a solid, if soapy, read. I'm not very certain I connect with the heroine's dilemma (egg donors, anyone?), but I liked the characters and felt for them. The typos are still there, but they didn't bother me as much this time. Might hang onto this for yet another re-read in the future. Still a 3/5, I think.

I have a new respect for Harlequin thanks to this author. The understanding of self and the understanding of human emotions and their complexities and meaning of second chances so beautifully written. Most books under any genre is about romance and not true love but this book is definitely all about love with all its "heartache, pain, suffering and happiness. "
