Summary: Not like Helen Bianchins usual stories.
Review: Helen Bianchins books are usually fast paced and a pleasure to read. However, this story , from my point of view was quite weak. It is about a woman who finds herself pregnant by her lover and will not accept his proposal of marriage. Instead she moves out of their home and he has to prove to her that he does really love her. Very slow and boring at times.

Summary: Quite a departure from her usual style.
Review: The heroine has been living with the hero for two years and accidentally becomes pregnant and he proposes marriage only for her to refuse, and move out of his apartment stating that there was no love involved in the relationship. How could she have been sleeping with him for two years if they had no such feelings for each other? It calls to question their morality as a couple and irresponsibilty on the part of the heroine. The very act of making love is at the same time a silent plea to be permitted to bring a child into the world, which is why sometimes our efforts at preventing it (contraception) fails woefully. The Heroine was being extremely selfish and silly and I found her antics made the book quite boring. The hero was a steady guy and stayed true to himself to the end quite the opposite of what one would have expected. The way I saw it if the relationship was good enough for two years then it was good enough for them to stay together and have the baby.
