Baby, Be Mine

This second title in Arend's "Thompson & Sons" series (Rocky Ride) continues the story of five siblings living in small-town Canada. Gage Jenick and Katy Thompson share a wonderful night of lovemaking that each has secretly desired for years. The next day, Gage leaves for a temporary job out of town, and Katie suffers memory loss after a car accident. Two months later, Gage returns thinking they'll pick up where they left off, and a pregnant Katy has a lot of unanswered questions. Unfortunately, the book is too short to show any real character development. Gage is haunted by a violent family past, but he doesn't hesitate to dive headfirst into a relationship with Katy once she becomes single. Readers must take the author's word that Katy is more assertive in taking control of her life after the accident, because we hardly see Katy before it.
