Book 2: Child on His Doorstep

My Review:

A sweet story about an adorable little boy, Mikey, who finds a new home with his “big brother”.  Corbin Beck had no idea he had a little brother, and as a single guy focused on his career, had no idea as to how to take care of a toddler.  His high school friend (and secret crush), Samantha, seems to be the perfect person to help him take care of Mikey.  But the circumstances with Samantha and Mikey aren’t quite what they seem, and Corbin finds himself facing some difficult challenges.

I liked Mikey’s part of the story well enough to keep reading the book to find out where his “forever home” would be.  The two main characters’ personalities didn’t really reach out to me, and I wasn’t particularly interested in their part of the story.  But since there’s a sweet little boy and an adorable dog, I had enough to still be glad I read the story.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.

Emotional, small-town love stories with plenty of kids and dogs

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

USA Today bestselling author Lee Tobin McClain watched Dr. Zhivago way too young and developed a lifelong passion for angsty romance.  Her love stories include plenty of real world issues, but also heartwarming communities, kids, and happy endings. And dogs! Lots and lots of dogs. When she’s not writing, she’s probably facetiming with her college-age daughter, mediating battles between her goofy goldendoodle and her rescue cat, or teaching aspiring writers in Seton Hill University’s MFA program. She is probably not cleaning her house. For more about Lee, visit her website at www.leetobinmcclain.com.
