My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
All his life Tate
McCullom has been taught to be responsible, and he is the very model of
what a respectable man should be. Until the night he gets drunk and
sleeps with a woman he barely knows.
Now, six weeks later, she's
pregnant, alone, and broke. Once again, Tate must take responsibility
for his actions, and makes plans to marry his child's mother. There's
only one problem...he has to tell his fiancée.
Abby Grayson
hasn't had an easy life. As the daughter of the town whore, people
either avoid her or think she's like her mother. For Abby, it's a
struggle just to fill her belly and keep a roof over her head.
Loneliness
and a secret yearning for this man she thought she'd never have led her
to spend the night with Tate. But the last thing she needs is a baby
when she can barely take care of herself. Desperate, but too proud to
ask for help, she finally agrees to accept a job from Tate - the job of
being his wife. Now she has almost everything she's ever dreamed of.
Unfortunately,
only one thing will gain her Tate's love - his realization that the
night he spent with her was no drunken accident. It was a last-ditch
attempt to win the woman he really wanted.
My Thoughts
I know.. the cover sucks but
What Price Paradise will get you from the very first page! One of my favorite all time book
EVER! Can't remember how many times I've reread this book. The premise of the story is nothing new, but it triggered so many emotions in me. The writing is flawless with great pace, you wouldn't be able to put this down!
I fell in love with Tate... gosh. This man is super nice, always trying to be responsible and take care of other people. Though there were times he's way too nice you just want to smack him. lol!
Abby on the other hand is sweet, loving and very naive. She came off as weak sometimes but she also has this inner strength that I so admire!
I can't stretch out how much I love this book! I highly recommend this to anyone who's looking something emotional read. You're missing out big time if you haven't read this one yet!
