Baby Dear by Linda Huber
4.0
Baby Dear starts off with a gripping scene in present day. Then the author takes us back to the beginning and to the build up of events that lead us back to where the book started off.
Being lucky enough to have children myself, I could only ever imagine what it must be like to be told that you are unable to have children. For Jeff, I think because the issue is on his part, he feels a failure and is desperate to not lose Caro. You really feel for the pair as it’s what they both want and the fact they can’t have a child starts to take it’s toll on their relationship.
Where as Caro and Jeff are desperate for a child, Sharon is struggling still to come to terms with having a baby. It wasn’t quite in her plan to have one so soon and in a way I think she resents the unborn child somewhat. Obviously that all changes when she has the baby. Sharon I did find quite selfish to start with. To be fair she is struggling with the whole thing and finds herself somewhat isolated.
This is very much a story of how far you would go to get something that you desperately want. It does make you think about what you would do in the same situation. I hope though not many will resort to what Jeff does.
Baby Dear is a heart racing and gripping read. The reader knows what is coming due to the story flicking between the characters. Jeff I just wanted to grab and give a good shake whilst Sharon I wanted to warn her of what was coming. It certainly makes for a tense read. Yet another great read from the queen of psychological thrillers/suspense.
