A tragic beginning, but a wonderful ending

My Husband, My Babies by Debra Salonen (A Harlequin Superromance)This is my second Harlequin Super Romance by Debra Salonen, and I am finding her books a pleasure to read. MY HUSBAND, MY BABIES isn't the greatest title in the world, but the story I found was very fitting with the Christmas Spirit. Jenny Sullivan O'Neal is one of three sisters: Triplets, to be exact! She is married to a wonderfully funny and charming man, Josh. They are happily married, but the only thing that keeps them from being complete is the fact that they did not have children. Josh had testicular cancer as a young teen, and because of it, he could not have children. Josh, who was always the one that was the take-charge person and always had a plan, decides that his brother Sam would be the sperm donor, and thus, Jenny gets pregnant.The story takes a tragic turn when Josh's cancer returns in full force, and Jenny is left to care for the newborn twins. And there to help her, is Sam. I found this book a very fast paced read, with a lot of interesting plot twists. Don't be turned off by the title! This was probably one of the best romances I have read this year. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

strong relationship drama

Growing up as a triplet left Jenny O'Neal with a special bond with her sisters, though they call her "Jenny Perfect" because she always does everything right. Jenny and her husband Josh are expecting twins, however because of health reasons his brother Sam served as the surrogate father.When Josh dies, Jenny feels all alone as she gives birth to fraternal twins. Sam helps Jenny through her mourning by bringing her and her babies onto his ranch. As they spend time together raising the children, Sam and Jenny begin to fall in love. However, neither one of them can deal with this new emotion as Josh's death remains raw and his memory too positive for either person to tread down that path.MY HUSBAND, MY BABIES is a tearjerker romance that will leave readers weeping an ocean of teardrops for the lead couple. The story line never goes too soapy due to the interactions of the strong cast that stops any player from going over the edge. The lead couple is a delight as they try to ignore their feelings out of love and respect for the late Josh. The secondary characters to include memories of Josh make possible for the audience to see the soul wrenching that Sam and Jenny deal with as they search for new beginnings. Debra Salonen provides a strong relationship drama that leads to immense pressure to match the quality of this tale with the other novels starring sisters Andrea and Kristin.Harriet Klausner
