Series: Manhattan Babies (Book 3)
A pregnant heiress, a bachelor billionaire…
…an unlikely family?
In this Manhattan Babies story, Trent Sigmund’s
discovered Sabrina McCallan’s shocking secret: she’s pregnant! As she is his
best friend’s sister, Trent’s compelled to help her. But offering Sabrina his
private jet to track down her errant ex wasn’t supposed to become a whirlwind
trip of Europe… And it certainly wasn’t supposed to awaken an attraction that
makes him long to take this unexpected chance and build it into the perfect
family!
Sweet story. It opens at the wedding of Sabrina's
brother, Seth. Sabrina is a bridesmaid and Seth's best friend, Trent, is the
groomsman who is partnered with her. Trent has known Sabrina for years and is
accustomed to seeing her as a cool, well-put-together woman. This day, Trent
sees a different side of her. She looks fine on the surface, but Trent notices a
somewhat frazzled air about her.
I really liked Trent's keen observational skills.
Although he swears that he is not attracted to her, that she isn't his type, he
can't deny his need to take care of her. He claims it is because she is his
best friend's little sister. When he discovers what the issue is, he offers to
help her track down her ex so she can tell him about the baby. Rather than merely
giving her use of his jet, Trent decides to accompany her. I loved watching
Trent do his best to take care of her as well as try to pry her out of her ice
maiden exterior and learn to have fun. I especially enjoyed the scene in Spain
with the personal shopper. Trent never expected to develop feelings for her.
Sabrina is the youngest and only girl in her family.
Because she was a girl, she avoided the bullying and abuse that her brothers
suffered at the hands of their father. However, she did bury her own
inclinations under the prim and proper façade that was expected of her. Getting
pregnant was not in her plans, but she embraced the prospect with determination
and happiness. She is confident the father won't want to be involved, which is
fine with her, but she does feel compelled to inform him. Discovering the
pregnancy the morning of her brother's wedding complicated matters, as she
doesn't want to tell her family until she tells Pierre. She is surprised when
Trent figures out her secret, and more so when he offers to help.
I enjoyed the development of their relationship. Sabrina
and Trent are so different from each other that neither expected the attraction
that flared between them. Sabrina is determined to raise the baby on her own,
though it didn't take long for her to realize that she could see Trent playing
the part of father. Trent tries to deny his feelings for Sabrina, afraid that
he isn't capable of loving another man's child. I ached for him because those
feelings were caused by the way he was treated by his stepfather. His fears
cause him to push Sabrina away when all he really wants is to pull her closer. I
liked seeing him finally face his feelings and confront his past, determined to
be the kind of man Sabrina needs. I loved his big moment at the end. It was
sweet and romantic and perfect for them.
