Nancy T. reviewed The Best is Yet to Come / Maternity Bride on
I don't normally review books, but The Best is Yet to Come was so disappointing, I can't help myself. I found the H to be a jerk who constantly stormed off, leaving her to wonder why. I know that sounds pretty typical for a romance novel, but this was different. I think he has short term memory loss or something, he would have just figured something out about their relationship, make some progress with her and then get angry (even with new, improved info about the situation) and storm off. The heroine of the book is the the most stupid, insipid excuse for a character that I have ever read in any book. No one could be that naive, especially after having already been married for three years. Diana Palmer is now on my do not read list.
I feel bad for Maureen Child, I didn't even want to read Maternity Bride after The Best is Yet to Come. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise though, I liked it. It would have been even better if it had been longer with more time for character development.
