Description from the publisher:
Will their pasts get in the way of
their future?
Luke Ward was New York City’s best and brightest young physician until a freak accident changed everything. Now he’s taken a position as the staff doctor at a large retirement village in Abeline where he plans to live out the rest of his days hiding from the painful truth he’s traveled so far to escape.
When the father of her unborn baby walks out on her, Mandy Rockwell decides to swear off men for good. She refuses to give up either her baby or her dream of opening her own bakery, so naturally she doesn’t have much space in her life for anything else, especially not yet another broken relationship.
They both have everything to lose, but somehow Luke and Mandy can’t ignore the spark that ignites between them. Will they be able to make a future together, and what will happen when their pasts come calling?

MUST LOVE MOMMY is the fifth book in
the Alaskan Sunrise series. These can be
read in any order. Previously released
as SHE WILL BE LOVED, Cupid’s Bow, Third Generation #3.
I can’t say how much I loved this
short sweet story. I couldn’t put it
down. Lucky for me it was a vacation day
for me and I didn’t have to. I stayed in
bed late and read, read, read, and I was smiling almost the whole way
through. I say ‘almost,’ because what
author doesn’t put us through the wringer a little bit.
The path to HEA is never smooth, but
it is worth it! Luke and Mandy have
brought a lot of (emotional) baggage with them to Abilene, TX when they meet
each other. These are the rocks in their
path. When they open up to one another,
they learn to crush those rocks into smaller pebbles.
Sweet Mandy is the little sister of
Charlie from MUST LOVE MUTTS and she feels like everything she touches fails or
falls short. I relate to that - never
good enough to make anyone else happy.
Her path smooths when she learns to accept herself. Luke is just the man all of us good girls
want – sexy and sweet with just enough flaws to be perfect.
This may be a short story, but it is
very well developed and filled with heart, hope, and laughter. Again, I say, I can’t describe how much I
loved it, though I’ve tried.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
