Emma Martens was on that same plane to Fiji for her honeymoon, only she was on it alone. Nic Wilkinson is a ruby player on a plane to Fiji for a vacation. Please note that I received this novel via Amazon's Kindle Unlimited. Still an okay read, just not a fantastic one. The book goes back and forth with Emma's past and what led up to her meeting Nic and the present day. James realized that these two characters were not a hit with her audience since I don't recall them being mentioned at all in the latest book I read in the series, 'Not Just Mine.'Īlso unlike with previous books the writing did not flow naturally to me.

Unlike with the other books I did not read the books and delight in the two leads I just plodded my way through until I got to the end. I should have felt sympathy for the character when we find out about her back-story but I didn't. It also didn't help that I found Emma to be annoying and way too sanctimonious about what rights Nic had and just all together unpleasant. Instead I was thinking 'I hope they get together so they don't inflict themselves on other people'. I didn't think to myself, 'Aww these two people are meant to be together'. Instead I found his behavior towards Emma gross. Frankly I wish that either Nic was not engaged when he met Emma or was having some serious problems in his relationship. However, after spending I think just two days with Emma he finds himself responding to her (eyeroll again). When the book first starts off Nic is engaged to another woman. Having a child together does not equal instance romance to me but maybe it does to other people. I have never been a fan of the surprise secret child romance novels since to me it seems to be a lazy way to get two people together.

The surprise secret child romance trope that Rosalind James had in this book was just a non-started for me. This was due to the main storyline and my inability to get on board with the main heroine or hero. I still rated it three stars but I ended up just finding myself not as immersed with this book as I was with the first three. Not everything will be an automatic hit in life and though to me the first three books in this series were downright perfect or almost perfect the fourth one was just a miss to me. Nic runs into Emma again several years later after they spent a week together having 'cough' fun 'cough'. Emma is a single mother doing her best to support herself and her son. Nic is a rugby player for the New Zealand All Blacks. The fourth book in the series is about Nic Wilkinson and Emma Martens.
