interesting contemporary romance

Six years ago to raise money for her mother's medical care, attorney Sara Hobart sold eggs to a fertility clinic. A few months ago she was in an accident and had an emergency hysterectomy that devastated her until she learned that the Barclays used that clinic and probably her egg, as the dates align, to have a child. She learns that the father, financial analyst Nathan Barclay, is a single father raising his son Kyle by himself since his wife died. Fearful and disbelieving when Sarah approached him, Nathan begins to turn around as he gets to know her. He even encourages her to spend time with Kyle. As the trio falls in love and consider forming a family, Sarah hesitates because she knows Nathan still grieves his wife's death. The first Dads in Progress family drama is an interesting contemporary romance starring two realistic adults and a somewhat confused little boy. The story line centers on the interrelationships between these three individuals as Nathan will not allow anyone to harm his beloved son while Sarah offers love to both of them. Although Sarah gets the information relatively too easily, Karen Rose Smith writes a fascinating tale that explores the complexity of modern families going way beyond the rights of the egg donor.
