Women with a child and a business man

The story is good and kept you wanting to read further.  I found some of the language distasteful and more sex than I wanted to know.  The story is about a single mother and the man who was the father of her child. He was wanting to be successful and had destroyed their relationship.

This is a great human interest story than weaves excellent business advice into a well written narrative about an everyday business owner who is spinning out of control. Business ownership is not easy but it doesn't have to be stressful all the time and this book has some great pearls on how to reduce that everyday stress. Not like your average business self-help book that just gives you a list of "to-dos" to improve your life, this tale is a good read and you will uncover some not-so-obvious principles along the way that may help you run a stress less business and have more fun in life doing it.

I enjoyed the storyline between Vlad, the workaholic and Charlotte, the designer.  Vlad needed someone like Charlotte to help him with his insecurities and becoming CEO of his father's company, and Charlotte needed Vlad to keep her grounded.  I enjoyed the family dynamics.  Vlad came to realize there was more to his life than work.

You never know how many people are living under cover and this book just shows you that it really does happen. It will have you asking how could a mother treat her children like this because of this man. But it happens out here for real. Women sometimes don't want their children to keep them from getting the man that they think is right for them and then there are some women who don't want people to know that they have a child like this in their family. Then for the mother to let this man/her husband beat the living daylights out of her child is crazy. It will have you shaking you head trying to understand why the mother is letting this happen to her child.

It was interesting how much impact a child makes on the beginning of a romance between a single mother and her new romance.  Everything that occurs between the man and a women is affected by the child's reaction to the man.  Even when the reaction is good there is a strong impact to what happens next.

In a cul-da-sac live four women. Amanda, Karen and Georgia are very close friends. Gretchen is a young widow, the outsider of the group. Amanda and Graham have been trying for a long time to conceive a child and the infertility sessions have not been productive. Amanda is a school psychologist and Graham is a landscaping architect. Both very admired in their fields. Except for making a baby. Karen is a stay-at-home mom who's volunteer work IS a full time job, along with her caring for her family. Her husband Lee likes his work and his women on the side. Georgia is the owner of her own business and travels away from work at least two to three days a week. Husband Russ, is the writer of a newspaper article and loves being a stay-at-home dad. Gretchen is Ben's second wife and now that Ben is gone, she is alone in the area, unbefriended by Ben's family and the rest of the neighborhood. Now the neighbors find out that Gretchen is very pregnant. There is no way that her late husband Ben could be the father. So the accusations and mistrusts amongst the other women and their husbands begins. Is one of these women husbands the father?
At first I thought the title wasw more toward Gretchen, but as I read this book, it was about every "Woman Next Door." This was a real page turner, with alot of emotion. I really got caught up in the lives of all the characters. I loved some of the characters and hated others. I felt the middle of the book ran on a bit too long, but as it picked up again, it became very exciting, and the ending was NOT what I expected. I am a huge fan of Barbara Delinksy, and I wasn't let down on this one.

I enjoyed this, a fire breathing lady meets a gentleman.
What I did not appreciate was the non-bonding with the baby.
The baby was passed on to others at every turn.
But enjoyable enough.

The Tycoon's Convenient Bride... and Baby by Shoshanna Evers is a brilliant read about two people who have known each other forever and marry to save Lauren's brothers baby so that Callie won't go into foster care.  The will said the baby can only be raised by a married couple so in steps Mack, business partner to Lauren's brother.

Was a great read covering two people trying to go about normal married life, including what normal married couples do ;)  Feelings are fought and hearts are slowly opened.  A bright read, in the way that I mean refreshing as Entangled reads are.

Lauren and Mack are great characters that you become invested in and want to have their happy ever after.  They are tested as a married couple and as new parents and the getting to know each other.  I think Shoshanna covered this wonderfully.

The reason they are thrown together is because Lauren's brother and sister in law is missing.  Then the call comes... their missing boat has been found...

Thank you Entangled and Netgalley for my opportunity to read The Tycoon's Convenient Bride... and Baby, I really really enjoyed it and would recommend to all who love romance.

Natalie Darden's book was a definte page turner. It was somewhat usual to read about a woman not wanting to take care of her child. These days we see a lot of mothers for many various reasons not taking care of their kids. This is a reality today. As a matter of fact, my husbands' son lived with us since he was 4, and now he's 19...and the mother saw him when she felt like it. There are plenty of men who are the sole providers of their children.
  As a mother, I would never give up my kids. But the story is not about me. In the end, Miss Hightower regains her maternal instincts. What you do today, affects what happens to you tomorrow...

I love this business story. I admire Mr. Howard Schultz for leadership.
I have my own desire to build this kind of company.

A true gem. Jeannes combines the human element with business in her new book, Would You Do That To Your Mother? with many great stories and case studies from small and large businesses. As both employees and customers, we gravitate to companies that create environments to encourage and celebrate the behaviors that shape us. We should all #makemomproud when we make decisions about how to treat our customers.

Hurricane Season by Lauren K. Denton is an amazing story of family relationships.  Betsy and Jenna are sisters who were raised by career focused parents.  Betsy and her husband Ty are the owners of Franklin Dairy Farm in southern Alabama.  The farm has been in Ty's family for years.  When he was just 15 years old his grandfather informed him it would be his one day.  After eight years of marriage, Betsy and Ty have been unable to have children and are working on accepting this.
Jenna is the younger sister who has always been a free spirit.  She is a single mother of two little girls who works at at coffee shop.  Jenna has always loved photography, but has put that aside to make a living for her family.  A friend encourages her to apply to an art retreat and she gets accepted.  With no one else to care for her children, she takes them to Betsy for the two weeks of the retreat.  While at the retreat, she is invited to spend the rest of the summer there.
Betsy and Ty are having many struggles.  Betsy is trying to move past not being a mother. She did not consult Ty before taking Jenna's girls and Ty is upset about this.  When Jenna does not return when she says she will, Betsy and Ty wonder is she will come back for the girls.  It is soon hurricane season and Ty and his crew are busy preparing the farm to possible damage.  Having survived other hurricane's they know what to watch for and how to prepare.
This is a great story that focuses on family and doing what needs to be done for family.  This story is so well written, it is easy to get lost in it.  The story touches on real life issues, such as infertility, single motherhood, and doing what is needed.  The things in the story that stand out to me, are  how Betsy has taken on projects to help the farm.  And, that with going to the retreat, Jenna is able to think of ways she can have a job to support her family as well as find time to pursue her love of photography.  But the thing that stands out the most are the memories the sisters have of their childhood, of having each other for support when the parents were too busy for them.  Especially the memories of Betsy trying to talk her parents into allowing Jenna pursue photography  I really think anyone who enjoys modern day story of family relationships will enjoy this book.  While this book is published by Thomas Nelson, a Christian publishing company, there is minimal Christian references.  The only references are going to church and praying.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this is my honest review.
