Heroine Was Extremely Repetitive and Selfish Causing Boredom!
Kendra Jenner, a journalist, was on the trail of a hot story in Santa Estella when she gets caught in a hurricane. She finds herself in the arms of the man who kept her safe and she left the country carrying his child. Her search for this man was fruitless...his name, Paulo, not real. Little did she know he was the man she had contacted to help her find Paulo after she returned home. He knew she was trying to reach him...hmm...a couple days of unprotected sex...did he not question whether she could be pregnant with his child?! What was with him, even though he was undercover, that he did not contact her in any way? His excuse for not contacting her...you should have told the man you spoke with (himself) that you were pregnant...really?? She should spell that out to a stranger...or who she believed was a stranger. It does not make much sense.
Three years after their fated meeting and lovemaking, he arrives on her doorstep to claim his child and her.
It is all downhill from this point. Her diatribes bordered on cruel, thinking of no one but herself. Her claims of protecting her son were ridiculous. Her refusal to completely share Matthew with his father was extremely selfish and so unfair to the Daniel. She would not listen to any opinion or advice from those who loved her and wanted nothing but the best for her, Matthew and Daniel. Her continual complaining was so repetitive that I wanted to pull my hair out. I almost quit reading several times but I kept thinking it would surely get better. My Kindle was at 94% when it started its turnaround and the book ended at 98%. For me, there was so much negativity that it overshadowed the outcome. She only thought of her own pain and really did not take Daniel's pain into consideration. Her behavior contributed heavily to my dislike of her and that dislike did not change when things took a turn for the better. It was too little, too late. Daniel deserved so much better than he got and there were times I thought Matthew would be better off with him instead of Kendra.
I am sorry that I cannot recommend this book. It was extremely frustrating and repetitive which contributes to the boring factor.
Even with a HEA, it troubles me to still feel sad and sorry for the way the hero was treated after finishing the book. I like to see that factor resolved, but it just didn't happen.
