Summary

Self-made business owner Dale McGuire has always enjoyed two things in life: women and fast cars. Now in her mid-30s, she's restless and can't work out why. Then one day a 10-year-old boy turns up, claiming to be her son, and her simple ordered world turns upside down.

Rebecca Harper bears the emotional scars of her father's crimes, and now she has two rules: never let anyone get too close and never admit weakness. Thanks to an anonymous egg donor, infertility didn't stop her from having her son Jake. Now pregnant for a second time, she's horrified when Jake brings home the woman he believes is his other mother.

When distrust turns to understanding and passion, can Dale and Rebecca, two women bound by fate, make a family neither expected?

pregnancy

there's nothing better than the birth of your child, and I have 5
this story has depth, covers several issues, and mixes them superbly well, great writing.
the narration is 6☆, all accents are correct and continue throughout flawlessly, but also with the context of tone.
wonderful romance

Amazing voices, amazing story

The narration of this book is utterly superb, from childlike Jake, posh Rebecca and cheeky Glasweigan Dale, the voices truly make the characters.

Tears guaranteed as the characters develop and became really personal. The story is sweet but addictive.

Heartwarming

I really enjoyed Dale&Becca's journey, that Jake had an active part in the story and that it wasn't angsty. I only disliked the occasional point of view from the bad guy-girl. It's a Pet peeve of mine. Other than that the narrator's different accents was also a highlight for me. They really brought the story to life.

not bad

This is my first audio book and I quite enjoyed it, not as much as reading but still. The characters were good the narrator was good with the accents. Just wondering how she knew what accents each character had. I enjoyed it all the same listening to it in my van.

Loved the story

The storyline was original & I loved that. The accent the narrator used for the MC was terrible. I struggled to understand a lot in this audio & i had to rewind it quite a few times. I think the writing & author is great but i wish for a better narrator & the accent left out of it.
