But how far will he go to make sure that both Grace and Zoe stay in his life?

Review

I love these Harlequin collections and when I see that babies are involved, I usually don't even read the synopsis and I already want the book. I loved this one when I realized that To Save a Child also had a certain mystery and an atmosphere of tension.

I loved the plot so much and how the relationship between the characters was built, especially between Walt and Cole. I was already excited to choose To Save a Child as my favorite in the style when it arrived in apotheosis...

It had everything to close the story with a great flourish but unfortunately, the writer skidded and chose an ending for the villain that I found it too simple and a point of conflict between the couple that I found illogical given the personality presented by Grace throughout the book and after everything she went through with her new friends. I really didn't like it. The consolation came in the form of a very cute epilogue.

3,5/5 stars

Resenha

Adoro essas coleções Harlequin e quando vejo que tem bebês envolvidos, normalmente nem leio a sinopse e já quero. Adorei ao perceber que To Save a Child tambem tinha um certo mistério e um clima de tensão.
Amei demais a trama e como foi construída a relação entre os personagens, principalmente entre Walt e Cole. Já estava animadíssima para escolher To Save a Child como meu preferido no estilo quando chegou na apoteose.... Tinha tudo para fechar a história com chave de ouro mas infelizmente a escritora deu uma derrapada e escolheu um final pro vilão que eu achei simples demais e um ponto de conflito entre o casal que eu achei sem lógica diante da personalidade apresentada por Grace durante todo o livro e depois de tudo que ela passou junto com seus novos amigos. O consolo veio em forma de um epílogo bem fofo .

3,5/5 estrelas
