For Baby and Me (Welcome to Otter Tail, #4) (9 Months Later, #66) (Harlequin Large Print Super Romance, #1696) (Harlequin Larger Print Superromance, #1696)

by Margaret Watson

"Nick Boone may be a brilliant architect, but his life is one-dimensional: just the way he wants to live it. He's a woman-of-the-week man, not marriage material. Not by a long shot. And fatherhood? Forget it. He has no idea what a family even looks like. But even a tough boss like him can't abandon Sierra Clark on the night she loses her parents. When her tears melt his cool, professional distance, attraction takes over and he gives in to a night of comfort and connection. Little does he know how deep that connection is going to run."--P. [4] of cover.

I didn’t like For Baby and Me as much as I liked the rest of the books in the Welcome to Otter Tail series. Which made me sad because the other books were so good!!

I thought Nick was a grade A jerk in this book. He was condescending towards Sierra. I couldn’t believe that he thought that throwing money at her would take care of everything. I wanted to smack him upside the head during certain points in the book. I couldn’t believe that he didn’t understand why Sierra was so reserved with him. That whole speech in the hospital made me go “Are you effing kidding me. You put her through hell and then expect her to open her arms and let you in.” Yeah, I was kinda mad about that. But, I do understand where he was coming from. What he went through as a child traumatized him.

I felt awful for Sierra. I couldn’t imagine losing my parents that way. I have also been in her shoes when I saw that stick go pink (my oldest was unplanned). I did think that she had high expectations for what Nick’s reaction was. I also think that her expectations kept getting smashed every time she saw him. I would have acted the same way towards him.

I did find their profession fascinating. I didn’t know that there was so much planning into going into building a house. I also didn’t know that contractors would switch out materials for ones that were not as good and pocket the money. I was fooled by who the person was switching out the material. I thought it was the other guy.

I felt awful for Sierra when she fell and hurt herself. I can relate to the stress she was under at the hospital. Not to feel your baby move is frightening.

I didn’t feel much of a connection between Nick and Sierra. The whole “I don’t want to be a father” vibe killed that romance for me. I will say that they had some pretty hot sex.

I did like the end of For Baby and Me. I loved the epilogue. Love, love, loved it!!!!
