Shattered expectations and unwitting mistakes drag a couple through the trial of their lives, a marriage of convenience, and ultimately, a lesson on the importance of faith, love, and family.

When Beth discovers the one she loves has deceived her, she flees New York City without telling him she’s carrying his child. Two years later, she must return to New York from Connecticut and face her baby’s father.

Just when Phil decides to forget his love for Beth, she reappears with shocking news. He won’t forgive her for what she’s done, but he’ll do anything to rescue the little girl he didn’t know existed.

With Phil and Beth at odds, nothing short of a miracle from God will change Melissa’s fate.

Good story, but sometimes POV is hard to follow

This is a good story about mistakes, misunderstandings and forgiveness. The action kept me listeninig, although I felt like chapter 21 could have been deleted, as I saw no reason for the accident to happen.

The best romance ever !!!

wonderful story, brilliantly written and narrated, I listened to it in two days, kept me wondering and carried me into another world till the end , highly recommend it .

New take on secret baby story

There are many books with a secret baby storyline but I assure you this will be a new take. I’ve never read a book like this one. The story is new and different. This is a clean romance that touches Christianity, morals and values but I felt it was ok and not preachy or “in your face”. When you listen to this story remember it takes place in the early 90s. It may seem implausible with how things are currently but when you remember it was in the early 90s you can get it. Good narration and a new twist on a secret baby story makes for a worthwhile time. Recommended!

Great listen that kept my attention!

I love to read but it’s difficult for an audiobook to keep my attention. This is the first one that did! I loved the story and couldn’t wait to keep listening to this couples story!

A lesson learned

I really appreciate the biblical principles that were taught in this book. If we all could realize that God’s teachings are for our benefit and not because God wants to restrict us to make our life so we can’t have any fun. He is trying to keep us from a lot of grief and regrets. Our young young people need to hear the message of abstinence! I really enjoyed listening to the narrator, Sarah. Looking forward to Diane’s next book!

Great Story

I really enjoyed this book . The performance made you really care what happen to the characters and that everything got straightened out. You get so swept up in the story you have to know how it ends, loved it!

Melissa's Fate

An excellent story about how a man and woman's sin caused danger in another's life. But it shows how after repentance God blessed their lives. It is s bit sexually explicit when describing their marriage night.

Emotional and Inspirational

This is a wonderful book that inspires one to think about the need to be honest and open in their relationships. It is also a very realistic picture of what can happen even when a person thinks they have made the right decision. Trusting and following God is the better way, as seen in this story. The road to a relationship is long and hard, but God's hand was in it all and worked it out for their good. Hard book to listen to in places, but well written and I enjoyed it so much.

Sarah Kisko is such a wonderful narrator! She just makes the book come alive. I'm always so happy to see her name on a book I want to hear!

I requested this book from the narrator and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Clean Romance

This is an interesting and original clean romance. The characters are well developed. Sarah Kisko did a good job with the narration. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily written this review.
