I have read so many crappers lately, and after I usually just move on without reviewing. I felt I had to review this one. I usually LOVE these types of stories. The Hero wrongly misjudging his wife and kicking her ass out, leaving her destitute while trying to raise her baby alone, is totally my jam. This story is shit though. The plot sucks, the writing is very immature, and the story is just terrible. I wanted this one to be so good, but it's just not.

Okay I hate to talk bad about any book that is actually written and published, self or otherwise, but this book was just too immature and scattered. It was just not a finished product. I read it but I don't think it is good at all. I liked the story line but what did he do during that year. Why did it take him a year to believe in her again? Just too many unanswered questions. And it sounded like it was written by a very young person. I think she can take this book and edit it some more, have someone else edit it and I think it could be a nice story one day. It just needs better grammar, less immature thoughts and more showing and not telling. It almost read like a teenage diary. I applaud the author for publishing it and finishing a story but make it more readable. I think the foundation is there.
The story line is guy thinks wife is cheating, dumps her, divorces her, leaves for a year even though she is three months pregnant and she has the baby alone. He comes back Ito her life like nothing happened and it's just discombobulated and very hard to get through. They re-marry and there is a bunch of jealousy and fighting and secrets. Just a lot of stuff and not enough writing to make it worth while. Hats off to the author for trying though.

I am participating in a Kindle Unlimited challenge so I'll be binge reading for the next month:)
This book had a bad rating on KU, but I am always willing to give a book a shot. The book features Rafael and Milliana who have been happily married for 4 years when Rafa comes home angry and kicks her out of the house....and she's pregnant.
These plots are pretty far fetched, but I've read a few books like this the Regretful Husband, and there was a Greek tycoon one by Maya Banks also. This book didn't work for me for a few reasons. First, the author took the "throw your preggers out" trope and made it a bit more ridiculous. First, he gives her divorce papers the same day that he receives a photo of his wife cheating....cuz that's possible.
Next, after kicking her out pregnant, and missing his daughter's first 9 months of life, he just shows up at her door...and she leaves him alone in the baby's room (with the baby) then the next day she goes to visit him and leaves the kid with him at work. No woman would ever do that.
The book is pretty juvenile and the characters are very immature. The sentence structures are short and choppy. The h speaks out loud to herself constantly rather than having internal dialogue. I do not know anything about the author, but I wonder if she is very young. The h says a lot of silly immature things like....
"oh, wow. I've never met a gay person." or "trash can with a cake on it" or "Fudge-nuts, I need to pee"
Plus, situations are completely unrealistic like...
-the Dr says she fainted because she hasn't been taking prenatal vitamins (um no)
-their nanny nurses their baby (it's not 1700)
-she's in a car accident and is in a coma, which the Dr informs Rafa she will be in a temporary coma that will last a month or two.
When she finds out some dude purposely broke up her marriage (knowing she was preggers) by photoshopping a picture and blackmailing Rafa's tech dept to testify the photo was not photoshopped (eyeroll) because Rafa slept with his mom (before marriage) double eyeroll...she feels sorry for him and forgives him.
But...when the Dr tells Rafa while in her temporary coma that they lost one of their triplets and she needs to keep her stress down when she wakes up... he decides to wait to tell her they lost a baby...practical...but when the BFF finds out she rushes over to tell her cuz fuck the stress Milliana deserves to know...Milliana is soo upset she leaves Rafa, talking to herself about
how she hates him and will never forgive him...
I really wanted to be generous because I suspect a kid wrote this, but this book is terrible. The main characters are jokes and the plot is ridiculous.

The couple: Rafael and Milliana
Romance trope: divorce/betrayal
Length: 202 pages
Plot: Rafa and Ana have been married for four years and she is pregnant, but he comes home one day, presents her with divorce papers, and kicks her out. A year later she has had the baby and started a new job at a restaurant when she runs into Rafael. He wants her back but she doesn't know if she can trust him again.
Commentary: Let's start small. There were factual/practical errors. At one point, Rafa hands the baby to his housekeeper and tells her to nurse her. I am sure there are wet nurses still out there working, but handing your baby to a random worker of indeterminate age and expecting her to just suddenly produce milk for your child (and doing it without even asking if she or the baby's mother if she minds!) isn't really how that works. At the end of the story, the day Milliana gets home from the hospital after delivering two babies, he has her get dressed up and attend a party. That's not how childbirth works. Ana mentions that because she has one color of eyes and Rafa has another, their baby has a perfect combination of both colors mixed together. That's not exactly how genetics work.
More than those factual errors, though, is the sloppiness of the plot. There were bad or missing transitions, too much action within a short time frame, lack of cohesion, etc. For example, the hero tells the heroine he wants her back, but for months he never mentions his reason for divorcing her in the first place, as in why he accused her of cheating and being a golddigger. Once she finds out - from someone else - she instantly forgives the guy who set her up (and is mad at Rafael for being rude to him).
All in all, this was a very juvenile story that probably needed to stay in the files as a writing exercise on the way to something more polished.
Grammar/formatting: needed another round of editing/proofreading. Some of the issues might come from second-language translation problems, for example, calling it "Danish land" instead of Denmark.

Horrible plot
Horrible plot. Milliana's character has no backbone what so ever. She is annoying. Rafael is an arrogant jerk who orders Milliana around. And they treat the baby like a toy. The author is a teen and you can see it in the writing. The characters have no consistent/ meaningful behaviour. Poor story. Not worth the time. So many unnecessary details

Well, please don't waste your time. Those 5 star without reviews were probably created by the person who tried to write this book or by friends. I always think that you can't make yourself a writer, you have to be born to tell tales no matter your age. But this person here was awful. If I don't like a book, I walk away without giving my input, because I don't like to talk down on someone's work. Maybe she/ needs to mature, maybe she/he needs classes and I don't want to discourage her/him. Maybe she/he can improve. But don't publish something like this before going into editing. Her male character was basically a robot, the conflict was enormous and when they got back together there was communication and no explanation. She did no research on ANYTHING. Female character has a really bad accident, was in a comma for a month and she woke up to drinking a glass full of water and went home the next day as if nothing happen. I mean, I'm no doctor but this is impossible. Even on small procedure you don't wake up fully from anesthesia and drink that much water without wanting to puke. She pregnant with triplets but because of the accident she lost one and Rafael knows she's been dealing with anxiety and depression, he holds back that info for her own good. Oh she forgives the man that cause all her trouble and forgives him but her husband who she says she loves even though he uses as his personal doormat can't forgive and tries to fly away But she has her twins and the next day she's at a party with family. It was awful. If you really want to continue, please take classes on how to develop your story.

The premise of the book is interesting, but the execution is terrible. It’s so poorly written that I can only assume the author is either incredibly young or a non-english speaker. The copious number of grammatical errors, timeline irregularities, plot holes, and stilted writing make it difficult to concentrate on the story. It could have been a worthwhile book if it was better edited and “researched”. Small oversights such as the H being informed of his his wife’s infidelity when he’s at work, serving his wife with the divorce papers when he gets home that evening, and it being done deal in less than a day? Divorce laws in the U.K. don’t work that way. Or the fact that the MCs’ healthy first born daughter only started crawling when she was around 13months old, when babies start to crawl at around 6-10 months. I forced myself to finish reading this book, but it was a mega waste of time. It’s not worth the money or effort.

So much potential
I can see where this story has so much potential, but it missed the mark in my opinion. The mfc is a pushover and it seriously pissed me off. Dude kicks you out and divorces you, while pregnant, no explanation given, and he gets forgiven immediately when they happen to run in to each other a year later?!?! Yeah....no. And let's not get started on his controlling behavior.....but the whole time, the mfc is, "Oh, I'll do what he says for my daughter to have a father," and, " I still love him even though he treats me like a doormat!"
Honestly, I think my 3 stars were gracious.

I found this book by accident while looking for another with a similar name. So thought I'd read it and see how it goes. I really enjoyed it and it was just the right length as well.
The way in which the book went was the opposite to what I wanted at first but after reading it all, I came to the conclusion that we all are human and make the wrong choices when angry and it's not until you calm down you realise what you've really done.
This is a real love story between two people that finds plenty of ups and downs. Will they ever have a happily ever after? This book is a must to find out.

I absolutely hate these characters. After the "hero" Rafael accuses Milliana of cheating and not being the father of their baby, he kicks her out and makes her sign divorce papers right there by the door. He leaves her with nothing for years and then sees her one day and wants her back. And Milliana? She lets him right back in her life and heart without even demanding an explanation or apology.
When she eventually learns what happened and even when she discovers more betryal, she forgives everyone just as immediately.
UGH.

In all fairness, I got to 46% of the book and DNF because I could not get past this heroine with no backbone. She saw this man uproot her life, deny her and her baby, and when he says come, she comes, he says sit she sits etc. what a wasteman and a useless woman...I did not enjoy this read one bit. the writing style was not well done either. I won't recommend this read if you like a strong heroine and a smart man with some common sense.

Couldn't finish it
I don't even know where to start.
It's very childish and I struggled to not roll my eyes with its story line. One minute the characters trying to be strong next minute she doing exactly what she said she wouldn't. Unnecessary description in most part then chops and changes are made where the story needs importance structure. Really a waste of time.

Choppy Disjointed writing- reads like a robot
This is a terrible boring story. The female is treated horribly by her husband and then becomes a total doormat and just let him come back to her when he finds out she did not have an affair. Actually, she says she doesn’t want to return, but then he threatens to take custody of their child. No remorse. Boring writing.

Mistakes in Love
This is a good storyline about love only makes you stronger second time around. This is a couple that have a second chance on love ,and marriage. And it begins with a a divorce.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel from the first page until the very last. It has been a very rare occurrence that I could just pick up a book and read it in one day; but, I was captivated by these characters and their amazing love story instantaneously.

Poor plot line and under rated writing.
The book lacks a genuine plot line and little to no character identity. It's poorly written and very mundane. Overall I would not recommend this book.

Yikes! I am surprised kindle even has this book on here. Felt like I was reading a book on one of those foreign apps where the writing is bad and the storyline awful. Do not download. 👎🏼

Not something I’d recommend
It was all just amateur writing and kept running around. I honestly felt like the author couldn’t stick to one plot or direction.

Sorry!
Sorry, this book was pretty bad. Needs editing and the writing was very junior high. Felt no connection between the characters.

This was a sweet book with some harsh reality. People,will so,etc,es believe the lie even when they should know better. But correcting that wrong is what changes everything
