Product Description

Pregnant . . .and alone?

When Katie Rogers returns to Dundee, Idaho, it's not because she wants to. It's because she's disillusioned, broke -- and pregnant. She was going to make something of her life in the big city. Instead, she's paying a high price for trusting the wrong man.

Booker Robinson is the man she didn't trust, the man she'd left behind in Dundee . . .and the first person she sees when she comes back. But despite Booker's notorious past, he now has a successful business and a home of his own.

He's also spent two years getting over Katie. She's the last person he wants to see. But when her parents refuse to take her in, she doesn't have anywhere else to go, and Booker soon finds himself with a roommate -- one who needs a father for her baby . . .

Katie's vowed she'll never trust the wrong man again. But sometimes a man isn't everything he seems. And sometimes he's more . . .

Pregnant and Alone...
Katie Rogers made a horrible mistake when she left the small town of Dundee, Idaho two years ago. She thought that she would make a great life for herself in San Francisco, especially since she was leaving with a man she was sure she'd marry. The only problem was, she was leaving the man she truly cared about back in Dundee. Her parents and friends had convinced her that she would be making a huge mistake if she stayed with Booker Robinson, an ex-con and the town's outcast. Katie didn't realize that leaving with Andy was the mistake - until two years later, when she was forced to come back to Dundee, penniless and pregnant.

Booker Robinson can't believe that it's Katie, the last person he wantd to see, standing in the rain beside her broken-down car. He's spent the last two years trying to forget the woman who had rejected his marriage proposal and broken his heart. He offers to take her to her parents' house, but once her mother slams the door in her face, telling Katie she's made her bed so lie in it, Booker finds himself offering Katie a place to stay until she gets settled. He's determined to keep his distance from her, but how can he do that when he's never stopped loving her?

I really loved this book, I had a very hard time putting it down! I could sympathize completely with Katie, since I had been in her position before. Booker was an incredible character - strong, protective, loyal, and understanding. I kept wondering through the book how Katie had been able to leave him behind two years ago! There was an excellent cast of secondary characters, including Josh and Rebecca Hill, who had their own story in Brenda Novak's 'A Husband of Her Own.' Although there were several running subplots, the book didn't seem too 'busy,' and it just painted a great picture of real-life people struggling with real-life problems.

This book was an excellent story of second-chance love. Best of all, Brenda Novak is writing more stories about the characters in this book, so I will definitely keep my eye opened looking for more books from this great author! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great book to read. It's definitely a keeper!
