It took me FOREVER to get into this book. It took me nearly 2 weeks to finish which really says something because I usually only take a few days. The first half was slow and there were several spelling errors which really just bugged me. However, I really enjoyed the second half and am quite looking forward to reading the sequel. I couldn't decide if I wanted to like or hate Louis and to be honest, I'm still not really sure. I think if there weren't a sequel, I'd be a lot less thrilled with this book.

This book took me longer to read than I like. The first 3/4 of the book was just okay. I had planned on giving it 3 stars. But the last 1/4 was so good I didn't want to put it down.

Sweet. A nice light book to read. Nothing to heavy and I guessed the end. Not my fav Rowan Coleman book but it was good for the beach.

"The Accidental Mother would be a good read for any woman - Sophie has aspects of her life most people could find in themselves. The main issue of the story (children arriving on your doorstep, having been willed to you after the death of a friend) may have been played out in other books or movies - but Rowan makes many of the issues addressed in this story unique and meaningful. [return]This could be a good read for a book club because I think it could lead to some interesting conversation."

Wasn't feeling this. It was a heavy chick lit book but trying to be something else. Wasn't anywhere close to a Marion Keyes book!

Found the character a bit dense! I mean most adult females know that children go to school! First and foremost the foster agency should have directed her toward trying to find a stable moment and encouraged finding a school/ nursery! Plot was unrealistic in these term!
Annoying main character who took forever to come up with a decent plan from a flipping dog behaviour book!! Ummm not sure about contemplating another read.

"What do you do when you are a child's last hope?"
*Backstory*
I recently was looking for a new book to read, since I didn't have enough money or time to actually buy one. I chose this one because of the title. I like the newfound family trope, and this book was the one that I liked.
*Review*
There should be a saying the opposite of "don't judge a book by its cover". I loved the cover. The little girl in her fairy costume, which is Izzy, is really cute. The book itself through me off. I knew what I was signing up for, by reading the summary.. but I didn't expect her to fall in love with the EX-HUSBAND!! I also believe that the 6-year-old, Bellarina, was too wise for her age, but it makes sense because the story is placed in England.
*Recommendation*
I recommend this to people of the drama genre. Also, anyone who loves the newfound family trope.
*Age Rating*
I give this book a 13+. It does say that they hook up, but they don't give any details.
*Trigger Warnings*
Anyone who doesn't/like children; anyone who has lost a parent through an accident.

I really liked this book...until the last 100 pages. I hate when an ending ruins the whole story
