A jerk, a modern day knight and a
baby: a wonderful romance read
Jackie Braun's
romance Expecting A Miracle
tells the story of a heroine whose unexpected pregnancy leads her to
find true love. The contrast between two men provides an amusing yet
heart-warming look into the nature of love and power.
Lauren Seville and her husband Holden agreed not to have children when
they got married so when she miraculously conceives, he wants nothing
to do with the pregnancy and threatens divorce. Lauren packs her bags
and leaves. When she stops by the side of the road to catch her breath,
Gavin O'Donnell stops to see if she needs assistance. With no place to
go, Lauren decides to rent the cottage on his land. The two can't help
but form a friendship, but will her miraculous pregnancy lead to other
unexpected results like love and a real family? Does fate have a way of
bringing together two people in a way can heals the past?
Lauren's husband is a total jerk, the ultimate cad and just a
horrifying man. Self-centered and addicted to power and money in the
extreme, Holden provides the reader with an image of a man whose
attraction is all appearance. A true love match with a man who places
convenience and show above love makes neither for true love or
fatherhood. Gavin makes a perfect contrast to Holden. Gavin is
respectful and his power originates from an inner strength and caring
for others. A kind of knight in shining armor, Gavin rescues her in a
most distressful situation, but Gavin is a modern knight, one whose
rescue empowers the heroine. Lauren's growing love for Gavin opens her
heart to her own gifts. In the beginning, Lauren is helpless before her
husband's power but certainly not at the end. Gavin O'Donnell is a
wonderful hero! Readers will love the way Holden receives justice and
his comeuppance with the powerful statement of the nature of true power
and manhood at the end of this romance!
