Several years ago I discovered Kristi Gold with her book Fall From Graceand from that point forward I was hooked on Ms. Gold and her books. When I sit down with one of her stories I know that I'm guaranteed a good read, and one that I will not want to put down.
Her latest title, HIS BEST MISTAKE is no exception. Kevin O'Brien never fancied himself a settle down sort of guy until he met Leah Cordero. Then he truly wanted nothing more than to marry and raise a family much like his own loud boisterous family. However, fate steps in, and Kevin is diagnosed with a potentially fatal disease, and should he survive it could leave him infertile and he decides that is more than he should ask Leah to deal with, so he breaks up with her.
Leah is hurt and angry at the way Kevin breaks up with her, and really wants nothing to do with him again. Yet, again fate steps in, and Leah now has a young daughter who was fathered by Kevin and she battles with telling him about Carly's parentage.
Leah and Kevin both have issues they must work through in order to be good strong parents for Carly. Kevin's family figures prominently in the story, but not so much so as to overtake the story...but enough so that readers feel the family's influences on Kevin and Leah.
I really enjoyed HIS BEST MISTAKE even if at times I wanted to strangle both Kevin and Leah and yell just get over it already and make up. However on reflection those moments when I wanted to yell I realized are the emotional moments that make up a life and help to make a one dimensional character jump off the page and make me think he's the person living next door to me. It takes a talent such as Ms. Gold has to do that.
If you're a fan of category romance and the SuperRomance line in particular then HIS BEST MISTAKE is a book not to miss.
So
imagine his surprise months later when Leah appears on his
doorstep with a babyโhis baby. Once his shock
subsides, Kevin insists on being a part of his daughter's
life. The best way to do that? Move her and Leah into his
house. It doesn't take long for him to fall head over heels
for his little girl and remember everything he loves about
her mother. Now he has to show Leah they can become a
forever family.
