Review: After five years as a stay-at-home mom, Gabby Schaefer can't wait to return to work. Oh, to use the bathroom in peace! No twins clamoring at the door, no husband barging in, no stepdaughter throwing a tantrum. But when her plans are derailed by some shocking news and her husband's crushing expectations, Gabby must fight for the right to have a life of her own.

Getting pregnant is easy for Hayley Batchelor. Staying pregnant is the hard part. Her husband is worried about the expensive fertility treatments and frantic about the threat to her health. But to Hayley, a woman who was born to be a mom should risk everything to fulfill her destiny—no matter how high the cost.

Nicole Lord is still shell-shocked by a divorce that wasn't as painful as it should've been. Other than the son they share, her ex-husband left barely a ripple in her life. A great new guy tempts her to believe maybe the second time's the charm…but how can she trust herself to recognize true love?

Review: This is the second book in the Mischief Bay series. I enjoyed book one, The Girls of Mischief Bay, but I loved this one. You could read them as stand-alone novels, but I suggest reading it as a series.

I identified with each of the characters for different reasons, and all of them have stand-alone and unique story lines.

It's disappointing that I have to wait until next February to read more about the the goings on in Mischief Bay. In the meantime, perhaps I'll start another Susan Mallery series. I am enjoying her writing style.
