The story begins with the heroine Lea travelling with her little daughter Molly to visit the hero Reilly. Five years ago Lea and Reilly shared a night together, Lea had left in the early hours never seeing him again and did not tell him that he is Molly's father. Reilly is surprised to see Lea again, he was angry that she left as he felt they had connected and he is even more angry when he learns of Molly's existence. Lea informs Reilly that Molly is very sick and needs a bone marrow transplant,

What I liked about this book: the setting, Riley, parents' love and determination to save their child, touching upon a controversial medical issue.
I really liked the Australian setting. I rarely read books with settings outside the UK and the US, and it was a pleasure to immerse myself in this world. The author was quite good with that.
I liked Riley. He had his own set of problems, but as the reader, I was able to see his POV and thus understand why he viewed Lea the way he More...

I really liked this book. It has angst and heat and Romance with a capital R.
It's set in Australia, and opens with the heroine coming to see the hero. She's terribly worried, and her daughter is very excited. She's going to meet her dad. But Mom wants to talk to him first. We also gather that the child is sick in some way. Fragile. However, the girl doesn't stay in the car like she's been told. She comes barging into the difficult reunion scene-mom and dad had a one-night stand seve More...

I actually really enjoyed this and I wasn’t expecting to. I thought it was well written and even though it got a bit too sweet for me in places, had a good plot to it. I liked the fact that it broke a couple of Mills & Boon stereotypes for me. I didn’t even realise it was one until I saw a bigger version of the cover. I also thought it was easy to read and after a while I forgot that I wasn’t reading a proper book. I did see a couple of issues with the typing but there wasn’t anything too crazy.

Set in rural Australia, a woman tracks down the man who fathered her daughter during a one-night stand. She has an unusual request: her daughter is dying of aplastic anemia and cord cells from a full sibling might mean a cure. The father, a rodeo rider with infertility-causing testicular damage (all that bouncing around on bulls! but fortunately he has banked sperm!) is initially reluctant, but willing--his only condition is that he gets the baby. It's a tough ride from here to romance. I rea

(ePub, not Kindle.) Reilly and Lea had a fling several years that produced a child. Lea meets Reilly again to ask for his help after her daughter became sick.
In spite of the few but noticeable typos, this was a pleasant surprise for me, because I enjoyed the development of Reilly and Lea's relationship over several months. They started out as strangers (in spite of their past) and got to know each other with a few bumps and tense moments.

Enjoyable story about the outback. As a Silver Brumby fan, it was great to have brumbies in the book. However, having had a C-section, I did get pulled out of the book towards end because the heroine was way way too active almost immediately post recovery. You can barely stand up straight!
But it is a good escapist read and Nikki is an up and coming author

I can't tell you how much I loved this book. You'd have to see the puffy blurry eyes to see how much I sacrificed to read this. It was wonderfully romantic, with characters that you instantly wanted to be or be with. I want to make it law that everybody reads this book. Its not too long, it falls straight into the storyline and its free on Amazon.

What a refreshing change to read a book not set in the the UK or USA!
I really liked this book, like the characters and how they intereacted with each other based on their preconceived ideas about what the other person was possibly thinking and feeling.
A good ending too!!

It was okay.........I did think the end was a bit rushed even for a romance!!.......the little girls illness ad been so much a part of the story that it would have been nice to actually follow her through a bit of er recovery!!

I found this book such a sweet and delightful read. It wasn't too long and didn't bore me with too much information. I was disappointed slightly because the book didn't offer an insight into the couple's life after the baby was born. There was an epilogue but it wasn't enough for me. I wanted to read about their new life together. Despite that minor thing, the book was good.

The complications in this story make for dramatic conflicts. Nikki Logan doesn’t let up on the angst, and with a terminally ill child involved, this book is guaranteed to be a tear-jerker. Luckily, it’s a romance. With an epilogue!
Reilly starts off acting like ye olde heartless hero bent on revenge for Lea leaving him after one night—‘as cheap as a motel television’—and not telling him about the baby. But it’s not long before he’s mush. We don’t see the story from his point of view, so More...

This was an OK Book.. Lea should have informed him about the baby sooner instead of waiting until she need another baby for parts to save her daughter...

Just can't seem to get through this one. Putting it down. As a DNF, do I rate this a 1?

I can't even look at this book's cover. I show it to everyone for laughs. Then I read terrible written sentences to them for more laughs.
Yeah, it's painful.

Not bad but not great. Some grammar issues it's. An ok read to pass the time.

This book is not badly written, and I can see it appealing to a lot of people. Unfortunately, it's just not the book for me, as I don't like romances built around a pregnancy.
