Child of His Heart

Hason Sisters #1

by Joan Kilby

He raised one child who might be his own. Does he have it in his heart to do it again?

Fire chief Nick Dalton has a lot on his plate. He's had to move to a small town in Washington to get his twelve-going-on-twenty-year-old daughter away from the rough crowd she was hanging out with in Los Angeles. He's also struggling with the knowledge his late wife imparted on her deathbed - their child might not be his biologically.

Erin Hanson has returned to the small town she grew up in to come to grips with a failed romance, and Nick is just the kind of man to make her quickly forget her woes. But suddenly she has a more wrenching situation on her hands - she's pregnant with her ex-fiance's child.

Erin knows Nick loves her. Now they both have to find out if he can love her baby, too.

Reviews

[Connie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story was very gripping. The relationship between Erin and Nick was wonderful to read. The relationship between Nick and his daughter Miranda, well it was heartbreaking. There was so much going on that you really didn't want to put the book down. I loved the POVs from all three. It was wonderful to see that. Love shows that being a father is not just being a sperm donor! A wonderful tale.

A sweet romance that I think was something I so needed to take a break from the heavy nonfiction.
Starting over is hard, but what's it like starting over to find forever?
That is the premise of this awesome book! I loved it!
Thank you, Ms. Kilby, for a lovely romance.
