About the author
Tara Taylor Quinn
378 books1,458 followersTara Taylor Quinn began her love affair with Harlequin when she was fourteen years old and picked up a free promotional copy of a Harlequin Romance in a hometown grocery store. The relationship was solidified the year she was suspended from her high school typing class for hiding a Harlequin Romance behind the keys of her electric typewriter. Unaware that her instructor loomed close by, Ms. Quinn read blissfully on with one finger resting on the automatic repeating period key. She finished the book in the principal’s office. Forced to leave her romances in her locker after that, Ms. Quinn’s typing skills improved - a fact for which she is eternally grateful.
With over 80 original novels, published in more than twenty languages, Tara Taylor Quinn is a USA Today bestselling author with more than seven million copies sold. She is a winner of the 2008 National Reader's Choice Award, four time finalist for the RWA Rita Award, a finalist for the Reviewer’s Choice Award, the Bookseller’s Best Award, the Holt Medallion and appears regularly on the Waldenbooks bestsellers list. Ms. Quinn writes for Harlequin and MIRA Books. Reviewer, Cindy Penn, wordweaving.com says, “Amazing character development is the hallmark of author Tara Taylor Quinn’s work. Indeed, Taylor’s profound observations of human nature and intimate understanding of values and priorities lends extraordinary psychological depth to all her work.”
Tara Taylor Quinn was born and raised in Ohio. Though she wrote her first story at the age of seven, her professional writing career began ten years later when she was hired as a stringer with the Dayton Daily News in Dayton, Ohio. She attended Wright State University and graduated from Harding College in Arkansas with a degree in English and Journalism.

Ms. Quinn is a Past President of the Romance Writers of America and served for eight years on the Board of Directors of that association. She has a wide range of experience as a public speaker and workshop presenter for writers groups around the country.
When she’s not home with her owners, Jerry Lee and Taylor Marie, or fulfilling speaking engagements, Tara loves to travel with her husband, stopping wherever the spirit takes them. They’ve been spotted in casinos and quaint little small town antique shops all across the country..

I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I definitely would. The gut wrenching emotional journey that these two characters had gone through over the years really made an impact on me. I really felt like this was happening to me. I couldn’t imagine what I would have done. I applaud the author for a well-scripted book. It is a good sign when the story can pull such emotions from the reader and there were such highs and lows here. Even though I would have to put this down a couple of times as my emotions all over the place. While this is a part of a series, you do not have to read the prior ones to enjoy this.
This book is written in a dual POV format. I love that as it gives me that glimpse into the characters’ thoughts. I more fully understood the characters and their actions during a scene that way. With this book I really felt one with the character, Annie. There was a fade to nothing so I could recommend this book to anyone.

Finding their way back
Annie thought she wanted to start a family by having the child she always wanted but little did she know the direction her life was about to take.

I like Ms. Quinn's books 📚. I'm sorry I stopped reading this story 📖 at chapter 3 because it didn't grab my interest.

I really wanted to like this book as the other parent portal books are really good. There were parts of this book that were really good and parts that I just wanted it skip pages. There was just too much internal conversations with the characters off on their own which really made it a difficult read.
