Summary: 1/2* Lacking the usual emotional pull...
Review: Brittany was devestated when she found out that Dan Remington was killed in a plane crash over the South American jungle. Not only did she lose the man that she was desperately in love with, she was also left with a constant reminder of that loss...his baby. When her parents turned her away after her passionate denial about giving away her baby, she had no one left to turn to. Except Michael Sinclair, Dan's best friend. Not wanting to be a burden, Brittany strikes out on her own.Michael had the perfect solution to Brittany's problem. She could marry him, therefore taking care of the baby. He felt it was the least he could do for his best friend's memory. What he didn't expect was the feelings that Brittany envoked in him, nor the feeling he felt toward the baby when she arrived. It all erupts when Dan returns from the dead and makes Brittany and Michael take a long and hard look at their marriage of 'convience'. Although this book started out promising, I was soon skimming it. Brittany seemed like a naive twit to me who had no idea what love was. I could understand her wanting security for her baby, but when she said that what she felt for Dan was a girl's love and what she felt for Michael was a woman's love, I was floored. It was less than two years and I didn't see anything different in her character to signify that she changed at all. Michael on the otherhand didn't admit his feelings to himself until nearly the end of the book. He had been in love with his best friend's girlfriend from the beginning. I would like to know how that was possible, as it was clearly explained in the beginning of the book that Brittany only met him once or twice. The reason I had to give it three stars was because after reading her other books, I just didn't feel that it had the depth of the others. If it's your first time trying a Schulze book, I would recommend Loving Jessie or The Substitute Wife.
