What else can you do at the end of a Claudia Connor book but sigh! This one was no different. It left me feeling warm and cozy and wanting more. I sincerely hope this won't be the end of these characters and their families.
Clare was supposed to be on her honeymoon. Instead of being with the man she thought she was going to spend her life with, she was alone, sitting on the beach, watching the waves roll in as she contemplated her situation. She'd thought Adam was the one for her. Right up until the time he dumped her, calling her at the church, her in her wedding gown waiting for a groom who isn't coming.
Deacon was on vacation, a working vacation. Technically, he was there for a veterinarian conference but his down time was his own. It was the first time he'd been away from his twin girls, Margo and Maci, since they'd been born. It's on the beach that he meets Clare. They strike up a conversation, find they enjoy each other's company and Deacon invites her to dinner. He and Clare really hit it off so they end up spending their remaining time together with Deacon extending his stay.
This is why Clare is surprised when Deacon fails to show up for breakfast one morning. Thinking he's maybe overslept, she waits awhile. When he still fails to make an appearance, she asks after him at the front desk of the hotel only to learn he checked out. He left no message, no way for her to reach him. Feeling totally used and humiliated, there's nothing Clare can do but go home and try to forget about him. Not so easy to do when a few weeks later she discovers she's pregnant.
Deacon, in the meantime, is frantically trying to find Clare. He'd had to leave the hotel in a hurry after receiving a call from his mother. One of his twins had a ruptured appendix and was in surgery. As he was checking out, Deacon had hastily scribbled a note to Clare on the back of a map, asking the desk clerk to see Clare got his message. When she doesn't call, Deacon isn't sure what to think. He was positive she had feelings for him. What if she never got his message and thinks he ran out on her? He hires a private investigator to try and track her down.
This one just grabs your heart and won't let go. Babies and toddlers and a hot veterinarian . . . what more can you ask for? Oh, and I really liked Clare from the get go. In spite of getting dumped, she didn't let it get her down and she wasn't afraid to try again with Deacon. In comparison, Clare realizes her feelings for Deacon mean so much more, and are far greater than any feelings she had for her fiance. In addition, she's a wonderful mother and adores Deacon's girls. It was easy to picture them all together for a very long time. As I said, "Sigh!". This is one i highly recommend !
