Summary: too much emotion
Review: I did not like this book. The author goes on and on about the characters hidden emotions. When a romance is really great the reader can feel the chemistry without having to be constantly reminded of it by the author. This book did provide my daughters and I with a bunch of great laughs because it was so repititious to the point of being funny. I have all the fortune's children books, but as this titles suggests: Fortune's Secret Child should have remained a secret!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: His hasty judgment had more consequences than he knew
Review: Upon her return to Pueblo, Arizona, Cynthia McCree needed a temporary place to stay in order to handle her father's estate. Always happy to help, Kate Fortune directed an unknowing Cynthia and her son, Bobby, to the home of Dr. Shane Fortune. Shane is shocked to see Cynthia six years after he summarily dismissed her from his life. He is even more surprised to find her with a five-year old son. Though their reunion begins precariously, Cynthia soon finds herself battling her attraction for Shane while Shane speculates on Bobby's paternity.

Shawna Delacorte continues the Fortune's Children: The Grooms series where it left off last month. Her narrative is fluid and engaging though her point of view shifts quickly from one character to another rather abruptly. This disrupts the narrative and makes it difficult for the reader to adequately understand her characters sense of development. As a result, it was a bit hard to sympathize with either Shane or Cynthia. Cynthia is a strong character through her devotion to her son. This devotion is unswerving. Instead, it is Shane who needs to learn from his hasty judgment six years ago. Instead of learning, however, it seems as though Cynthia and Bobby's love and admiration for him is a stroke of good fortune which he takes advantage of.
