Brooding Rebel to Baby Daddy
Reunited by a question:
Will he be her baby’s father?
Living in LA brought Sable Sutton everything she thought she could possibly want. Just not what she truly desires—a family. Then she realizes the answer could be back in her small Australian hometown with her first love, brooding bachelor Rafe Thorne. He’s the only man she’s ever felt at home with, but will he be prepared to take a leap of faith on her outrageous proposal?

Very much on the quiet side, if you need plot galore this likely won’t be for you, but those who like a story more focused on the internal it’s an emotionally satisfying read.
I felt like this was a little bit of a departure from what I consider Ally Blake’s signature style, not quite as much banter, not quite as many quirks and unique flourishes in the descriptions (though there are still some gems in there), at first I missed the abundance of those things, though the further I got into the story the more I understood that going a little more low-key fit these characters.
While I cared about Sable and enjoyed her photography (you could really feel her passion for it and her artistry), I didn’t always have a handle on her decision making, although the more I’ve thought about it, the more I wonder if that was maybe the point with her, after so long of trying to please her mom and others or do right by Rafe, she was struggling with reaching out for what was right for her.
Rafe’s a man of few words, yet I found him easier to read than Sable. It was clear from the start no matter how much he outwardly denied it, that he still loved her and I do love a hero who’s a bit tortured from pining, his vulnerability, the scenes where he’s suffering through the aching thought of her leaving again were among the best of the book.
