©2016 Kaylee Ryan (P)2019 Audible, Inc.... Not really the story that I had hoped for. Quite insensitive also, in my personal opinion.
Melissa getting to hold Knox and have their photo taken, squeezed my heart so tight I choked up. This was my favourite part of the story, Melissa's dream of having a family finally coming true.
It wasn't the worst story but I felt that the emotions within it were only surface deep in general so I wouldn't recommend it.
Not really the story that I had hoped for.

Kendall is a nurse and she is impressed with Ridge's determination to be the best dad for his son.
Excellent narration throughout bringing the story to life ❤
A knockout emotional story

I gave up around 80%.
Basically, the choice to have Melissa’s POV for the prologue would have worked if she was a part of the book (even if just in spirit). Then, the choice to have only Ridge’s POV for the first six chapters would have worked if it wasn’t so stunted and sporadic in emotional range and tone. THEN! It would also have worked if Kendall’s introduction wasn’t so sudden after, arguably incredibly traumatic events of the week before.
I don’t care how emotionally mature you are, if you had stumbled upon your one-night-stand pregnant with your baby and I’m a coma, only to have the baby come early, the mother wake up and died within minutes… yeah you would not be jumping into relationship territory. You’d be exhausted, traumatized, probably overwhelmed with a baby, and not working dammit.
It just… didn’t make any logical or emotional sense. From the immature adolescent bet, to re-introducing Melissa only to kill her off, to the lack of precision/detail for the entire hospital portion of the book, to Kendall’s and Ridge’s insta-love, then the 180 on Stephanie’s personality? Yeah, every portion of this book was all over the place, wanted to be emotional and angst-filled, yet never went deeper then surface level.
I didn’t believe the instant Daddy-reformed image of Ridge, I didn’t like his weird friends, and the romantic arch was shallow at best.
The only saving grace here was Teddy Hamilton, as Callie Dalton was too stilted and robotic, but not even he could save this story.
I 100% understand the criticism here, and want to echo the others that say: don’t spend a credit on this my dudes.
This book was so weird.
