Every single book this woman writes is filled with wonderfully complex characters and plot twists you never see coming. I loved Mateo Beltran and Corey Madsen who manage to fall in love in spite their best intentions and all the baggage they brought. And the delightful little girl who started it all. Another "outstanding" story to warm the heart.

Only Cheryl Reavis can get me to read a book with such a drippy title.  Reavis is one of the finest writers around, but it took me months to decide to read this book.  By the end of the first page, I was hooked. The lead characters are wounded warriors, eeking out an existence. Corey is a widow and a three-time loser at the baby game (she's had three miscarriages). Matt is a military man down to his toes, who finds a baby left in his Corvette.  Of course, he denies that the baby is his. Social Services gets involved and asks Corey to keep the baby for a couple of days, while they sort things out.  Of course, there's no other foster mother around, so Corey keeps Short Stuff.

This book is only 250 pages, but be prepared to ride a rollercoaster of emotions.  The story is complex and nuanced.  Even the secondary characters make the storyline spin faster. Everyone thinks they have the right to be involved in Matt and Corey's decisions. This is a different kind of contemporary story.

Cheryl Reavis hits it out of the park once again.

If you want a story with characters that are relatable and a story that keeps you turning the pages than Cheryl Reavis' Little Darlin' is a sure thing.

not her best, traumatized but condescending hero
