A very sweet quick read. Sometimes I need a good harlequin romance mixed in with my sexier books.

I liked it! It was cute! We've all read this story a gazillion times but this is a fun little rendition of it. The ending gets iffy, but the epilogue was adorable enough to pull it up!

Muy buena conclusión de saga. Ha sido el final perfecto; muy, muy bonito. La pena que encuentro a estos libros es que son muy cortos, pero bueno, están muy bien. Este va en la línea de los dos anteriores, una historia mucho más profunda.

É muito engraçado, por quê? Os homens dizem que as mulheres são complicadas, mas em alguns casos, os homens são milhões de vezes mais complicados que qualquer mulher.
Neste caso Kevin é complicadíssimo, além de ser maravilhoso, gostosão e sexy. Claro, ele jamais seria feio. Mas, acredito que ele tinha boas intenções e amava Leah.
O problema é que os homens tomam decisões em relação às mulheres em momentos errados, mulher não gosta que o homem seja magnânimo com ela, a não ser quando ela quer terminar a relação, entende?
Do contrário. A Muller quer que o homem seja egoísta e possessivo, por ela.
E quando ele toma uma decisão sem consultá-la aí a casa cai. Ele coitado, pensa que a está protegendo de algum sofrimento. Mas na realidade não está permitindo que ela tenha uma opinião sobre o assunto.
Depois, ele fica magoado e triste porque ela o faz sofre, também o que ele esperava?
Ainda bem, para a sorte do rapaz, ela também o ama.
Recomendo.

4.5 Stars.
This book was very enjoyable. I liked that the characters knew one another, and had an actual relationship—they had held conversations, had shared with one another, had spent time together. And though they were both stupid at various times, it seemed realistic. It was realistic that Kevin, who had built up so many walls around himself, even against his family, would push Leah away when he learned of his sickness. And it made sense that Leah would be wary of Kevin after he broke up with her like a royal jackass. The last half star is lost because it was very shitty of Leah to have kept Carly from Kevin for so long—and for her to have even contemplated never telling him about his daughter. And Kevin forgives her very quickly for that, too, which didn't seem quite realistic.

Best book in the series, after reading so much about Kevin in the previous books it was great actually reading his story. I also liked that there was some medical drama and that Leigh was a doctor. Carly just synched it for me since I love the name and observing the Parents' interaction with the baby.

A sportswriter dumps his pediatrician girlfriend because his aplastic anemia may kill him and the treatment will probably leave him infertile. Yet a year later, she shows up...with his secret baby! Adventures in diaper-changing ensue, and we all know how romantic that is. Cute.

This is one of my favorite re-reads. The black sheep of the family who I adored when he got his story. :)
