More surprising than being a father

Is what it takes to be a dad

Nicholas Weller is stunned to discover the adorable baby abandoned in the middle of his art gallery is his son. Asking teacher Emma Blake for help is a plea of desperation—he barely knows her, after all—and clearly, she has her own misgivings. But under Emma's tutelage, Nicholas is soon juggling diapers, formula…and unexpected feelings for her. He’s passing the lessons on fatherhood, but is he ready to graduate to family man?

 

Heartfelt characters, emotional back stories and just enough adorable sass to keep me hooked page after page! The fifth book in the Home to Oak Hollow series quickly grabbed my attention with a surprise/abandoned baby and I didn’t want to put it down even for a minute. I really enjoyed the honest goodness of the main characters and how they each had their own emotional scars to work through.

Nicholas is a genuinely nice guy in spite of his cold upbringing, but finding out he’s a dad when he doesn’t feel like he ever had an example of one is hard to swallow and he finds himself floundering. Lucky for him he picks just the right person to teach him the way.

Emma has a heartbreaking back story but has such a warm and giving heart that she manages to carry herself forward into whatever life brings her no matter the trauma she herself has suffered. I really liked her.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a small town romance filled with subtle drama, heartwarming characters and happily ever afters freely flowing!
