Series: Baby Experts (Book 1)
BROUGHT TOGETHER BY BABY
Vince Rossi would do anything for the adorable orphaned baby left in his care. Problem was, the one doctor suitable to help him was Tessa McGuire--his ex-wife. He had spent years trying to forget the only woman he'd ever loved and the tragedy that had torn their lives apart. And as if things weren't complicated enough, Tessa was more alluring than Vince remembered. Watching her hold his infant son brought back memories of the passion they shared and the love they'd lost. Could one little baby heal their broken hearts and give them a second chance to become a family--this time, forever?
Good book about second chances. Twenty years ago, Vince and Tessa had been teenagers in love. She got pregnant and Vince insisted they get married, especially after her father disowned her. But life wasn't easy with Vince working two jobs to Tessa's one, just to make ends meet. When tragedy happened and Tessa lost the baby, their marriage fell apart too. Both moved on, but neither forgot the other.
Now Vince is back in Sagebrush, an overnight dad of an infant boy, the orphaned son of his police department partner. He is filling in for the police chief at the same time he is getting medical treatment for little Sean. Vince is stunned to discover that the pediatrician is Tessa, and is hit with the memories, good and bad, of their time together. Tessa is equally stunned to see Vince. After the loss of their baby and its consequences, she had gone on to become a doctor but had never forgotten the man who broke her heart.
I enjoyed the development of Vince and Tessa's relationship. They had a lot of past hurts to overcome before they could get to a future together. When Vince looks back to that time, all he can see is that Tessa left him to move back home with her father. He felt that she blamed him for what had happened and he accepted it and got out of her life. All Tessa remembers is that Vince left when she was at her lowest. Though she had listened to her father and gone home with him, she had hoped that Vince would come after her, and she was devastated when he didn't.
From the moment Vince and Tessa met again, it was obvious that their feelings for each other were still there. However, both were wary of taking a chance again. Caring for little Sean brought them together time after time, giving them the chance to get to know each other again. There were some incredibly sweet moments with the three of them together, helping to create a feeling of family. The sparks between them were also as strong as ever, and the heat between them continued to build. But both of them continued to hold part of themselves back. Tessa wasn't sure that Vince was going to stick around this time. Vince wasn't sure that Tessa could believe in him again. A surprise development brought their fears and insecurities to the surface, driving a wedge between them. I loved the eye-opening advice that Vince received from an unexpected source. The ending was sweet as Vince took a chance at winning it all, and Tessa found her dreams could come true after all.
