Boda con Secreto : (Wedding with A Secret) Book

This started off so well. Heroine got pregnant after a one night stand the night of her sister's wedding to the hero's brother. She was 18 at the time and had to change her plans for university. She had twins and gave them to her sister and husband to raise as their own.

Hero did such a number on her that she hasn't had sex since. Hero was a womanizer for many years, but finally grew up and is now a functioning member of society.

H/h meet again when the twin's adoptive parents are both killed. Heroine comes to Italy for the funeral and plans to bring the nine year-old twins back to the US. This does not go over well with the hero or the grandparents or the children.

At this point I began to lose patience with the heroine. She said all she cared about were the children, but she made things ten times worse by not telling the hero the truth about his status as baby daddy. Weeks go by where she could have spoken up, but she didn't.

By the time everyone had bonded and new plan had been implemented, the heroine blew it up. Worse - she ran away and the children had to chase after her from Italy to the US.

WTH? That's fine for a hero to chase down the heroine, but no child should ever have to chase after their mother or mother-figure. The ending was just so gross. The heroine sulked and caused so much new pain for those grieving kids and they had to convince her to come back to Italy. I don't know how they're ever going to feel secure with this new mommy and daddy after the crap they pulled.

The angst in this was great. Same with the writing. The romance was fine. I believed that the hero turned over a new leaf and was sincere in his feelings for the heroine. I just can't forgive the lying heroine and her sulking at the end.
