These are four "aww, ain't that sweet" stars. The hero was just a sweetheart. And he had a heavy French accent. Usually in romanceland the heroes all have perfect English or American accents even if they are not native speakers. So kudos to the author for giving him a thick accent. And he had a stalker who was pretty realistically bad. It was well written and the plot was interesting and it all held together pretty well.

Thought this was going to be a bit serious - what with dead husbands, multiple accusations of rape, gruesome scars, pneumonia, potentially fatherless children, gold diggers, and psychotic breakdowns - but OMG, the flowery language that came out of this one was unbelievable. I liked the Lancelot/Guinevere connection, but did they really have to go so 12th century? Could have been great if it wasn't quite so poncey. :)

lancelot was andrea's knight in shining armour. lancelot wanted marriage when the baby was not even his. i cud probably understand if it was love at 1st sight or if they shared hot stirring chemistry! instead they had a more or less platonic friendship, which was very monotonous to read about!:S

Como a maioria dos livros da série Baby On Board, esta estória é uma delícia.

Adoro tramas onde os personagens se encontram de forma inesperada e de alguma maneira conseguem compreender as necessidades um do outro.

E por fim curar seus desamores e cicatrizes.

Além da magnífica região onde se passa a estória, com muito encanto e magia.

Acredito que seria bom conferir!

Recomendo!!!

To me this was a really light read. Nothing jumped out making it super special other than it was pleasant to read and get to know the characters. I didn't feel any real emotional attachment although the story was very sweet.

I actually love this book. It is written very well, I couldn't put the book down. However, if you are one of those people who love conflict, this book isn't for you. Everything was a bit too perfect. It is good for a bit of light reading.

A heart warming story about a woman who lost her husband without knowing that she was pregnant, and a man who just left the army service to be with his father.

I liked the way the story went :)
