Idaho series Book 1), A Baby of Her Own (Dundee

Absolutely loved this book! Written well and keeps you wanting more. This story is so real. You can picture yourself in the character's shoes and go through their journey with them. Love Brenda Novak's work!

This was a heart touching story of two sisters and the love they have for each other. One was unable to produce a child of her own,so she finally decided that she would adopt. Life was happy for awhile until the older sister was diagnosed with cancer. She had frozen her eggs, and her wish was that her sister would use them to have a baby of her own.

With the arrival of her thirtieth birthday and with her best friend's plans to move, Delaney Lawson longs to fill the empty places of her life and her heart with a child of her own. Acting completely out of character and swept away by her impetuous best friend's encouragement, Delaney and Rebecca drive to Boise to find a man. Never mind Delaney's virginity; one night of naughtiness will fill more important needs.
Connor Armstrong noticed the women the moment they entered the bar. The woman he comes to know as Delaney wears a sinful dress that completely contrasts her attitude. Connor has vowed to give up his dissolute life, but Delaney proves to be temptation he cannot refuse. Their night together is magic, but when Connor says that he wants to see her again Delaney escapes without leaving behind a trace of her identity.
Three weeks later, the test strip turns pink and reality sets in. Delaney's foolish plan was successful, but the consequences are much greater than she expected. Worse, Connor has moved to town to take over his grandfather's ranch. And when he tracks Delaney down and learns of the pregnancy, Connor makes it clear that he will not simply walk away. It seems impossible that Connor can overcomes his feelings of betrayal, or Delaney her feelings of guilt, especially as events spiral completely out of control for both of them.
Friendship, family, and offbeat personalities sparkle in A BABY OF HER OWN. Brenda Novak once again displays her dazzling gift for creating characters we believe in, who make us react whether it be with a laugh or a tear, resulting in both vivid drama and entrancing tenderness. On one hand, Delaney struggles with the tick of her biological clock, a desire to be loved, and her wish for a child. On the other hand, Conner's own need for family and an opportunity to prove himself compliments Delaney's personality perfectly, but the struggle to prove his sincerity to both her and his grandfather pushes him to the limit. In addition, Rebecca carves her own place in readers' hearts with her purple hair and brash attitude that conceals a heart of gold, causing readers to eagerly look forward to her tale next year. Delaney's loving but meddlesome family and small town likewise spring to live with a charm that all big city dweller occasionally long for. A BABY OF HER OWN comes very highly recommended.

Cute story with some angst-ridden characters which is well written and edited so this was a fun contemporary western romance. Rich adopted Conner Armstrong has a one night stand with 30 year old virgin who tricks him into impregnating her, but not for the reasons that he assumes. I loved the best friend Rebecca and there is hints that there might be another romance story with her and Josh in it which I would totally read because Rebecca was probably the most interesting character in this story.

What a heartwarming romance story! A great start to the Dundee, Idaho series. I fell in love with the characters especially Delaney and Connor since this is their story. A fast paced and enjoyable story.

I enjoyed this book but parts were a little unbelievable. Some of the characters were fun, some a little more opposite and a couple were mean. It was certainly interesting, not knowing what was going to happen next.It had a real cute ending. I gave this a 4.5* rating.
