Harlequin sent me three very different romance novels and although I don’t often read this type of book, I picked this one up first. The Rancher’s Baby by Maisey Yates was basically forgettable, and although it claims to center around a scandal, the scandal itself is never resolved. The book begins at Selena’s ex-husband’s funeral, but he’s not actually dead, as he shows up at the funeral too. Someone staged this funeral in order to bring together a group of women all of whom were told they were left his life savings. Sounds like an interesting story line, but it was never concluded. Obviously this is part of a series, so maybe it will return to be featured in a later book. As for the main couple in the story, Selena was always in love with Knox and only married her ex to access the money she needed at the time and to get away from her abusive family. As her best friend, Knox was always in love with her too. Once he moves in to protect her from…something…they end up together – what a surprise! Knox has a difficult past, having also married someone else and suffered a loss, so when he finds out Selena is pregnant, he is not ready to make a commitment. This is quickly resolved, and everyone lives happily ever after! As you can see, I wasn’t a huge fan, and won’t likely be reading the rest of the books in this series!
