After Brady Collins’ ex-wife dies, he receives devastating news—his nine-month-old son Sam isn’t his son at all. And Sam’s wealthy maternal grandparents want custody of the child. Brady knows he’s in for the fight of his life. But regardless of what any blood test says, Sam is his son, and Brady will go to any lengths to keep him.
Brady’s attorney tips him off that one major life change would virtually assure him of winning guardianship of baby Sam at the final hearing: an impending marriage. And his friend Hope is willing to step in as the loving and devoted fiance.
Local radio celebrity Hope Daniels has been driven by a solitary goal her entire life, and after a happy accident she’s finally offered her dream job. But if the truth comes out about her arrangement with Brady, she may miss the chance of a lifetime and stand in the way of a dear friend’s dreams.
As Brady and Hope make sacrifices to help each other in their times of need, they risk uncovering a truth neither of them expects to find.
Hunter writes the most romantic stories ever! I love the way that she creates characters for whom you’re cheering from the very first page. She balances the obstacles and the sexy, keeping you on firmly on their side, even when crazy circumstances get in their way.
That must have been really hard with this book, because the story starts off with an impossible situation – and one that’s about as unromantic as you can get. Despite that, I enjoyed the intentionality that she imbues Hope and Brady with. The story only gets better the further in you go, and even though you can see some of the problems coming, that doesn’t make the plot any less dramatic.
I love babies, and throwing a baby into a romance story always ups the fun factor for me. It’s not just about the feelings between two adults, but there are bigger and deeper issues at stake, and in this story, there are spiritual lessons, too.
If you like sweet stories of romance and love with a deeper flair, give Honeysuckle Dreams a read. You won’t be sorry.
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
