Format:Paperback
A newborn baby is found abandoned on the doorstep of a local café in the small Irish town Lakeview, without any message or indication of whom it belongs to.
So starts Melissa Hill's new bestseller.
Three women meet each other in Lakeview. Two of them are already pregnant, the third, Jess, is hoping to soon become a mother. In spite of their different circumstances, the women become friends and get involved in each other's lives.
Jess, happily married to Brian, decides the time has come for them to start a family, although her husband show little or none enthusiasm about the idea. But is her main reason perhaps that she feels left out as the only non-mum among her friends?
Hollywood actress Ruth Seymour, returns to Lakeview to spend time with her parents when she discovers that a brief adventure with her co-star, notorius playboy Troy Valentine, leaves her pregnant with his child.
And finally Nina, who has just broken up with her boyfriend Steve, goes to Lakeview to spend time with her father after having discovered that she is carrying her ex-boyfriend's baby.
Melissa Hill makes her characters come very much alive and while following their stories one totally forgets to wonder about which of the coming babies might be the one from the prologue.
A totally absorbing and entertaining story from a great author.

Melissa Hill just cannot be beaten in my estimation to write the best books ever.Each and every one has a fascinating twist at the end and this one certainly took me by surprise as was not expecting the ending to be anything like the one I had tried to guess
She's phenomenal with her story lines and my great regret is when I've finished the book as like many other readers cannot put it down until I've done so usually into the small hours of the morning!
Loved this one as I believe her ninth novel and she never ever fails to produce anything but perfection for a classy read
Waiting for the next Melissa and every happiness with your new addition

Format:Hardcover
As is usually the case with Melissa's books, we have several female lead characters which makes the book multi dimensional and very enjoyable to read. We're first given a bit of background about the missing baby, but nothing that gives anything away which is exactly what I've come to expect from Melissa. The book then moves straight away into introducing us to our 3 leading ladies for the book; Nina, Eva and Jess - 3 very different women leading different lives but united by their somewhat messed up lives. Through all this, we have to figure out just who the baby is who was dumped on Ella Harris' doorstep years ago is and why she's there.
The 3 women in the book couldn't be more different, and my favourite was Nina by far. She's a strong single woman who is coming to terms with the fact she's pregnant and that her relationship has ended too. Hill doesn't shy away from telling us all the emotions Nina is going through so that the reader can really sympathise with her plight, and this certainly works. There is a bit of a controversial twist towards the end of the book but I think it was handled in such a way that it won't offend anyone, and it's important to bring these issues into women's fiction too, so I applaud Melissa for that. Nina's story is very readable, and I love how Hill weaves her in with Eva and Jess, and they certainly are 3 unlikely friends.
Eva is a Hollywood star who is due back home in Ireland for the first time in a while, but things go badly wrong when pictures are printed and published across the world she'd really rather weren't out there. She's a very selfish and quite dislikeable character at first, but then again I guess the author wanted a typical starlet who was all "me, me, me!", and it worked lol! However, the way Hill handles her story as the book goes and the effect on Eva of returning home after all that time is so well done, and I enjoyed this part very well. Jess is likeable enough, but I felt she never seemed happy with her lot. I realise a lot of this was due to her friends behaviour but I felt some of her turn of events were a little uncomfortable, and didn't sit well with me. But however I look at it, it was a good addition to the book because it made me feel that way, and was an important part of the story.
The setting is glorious Ireland, a small village called Lakeview. Melissa Hill always writes so passionately about her home country, and I love imagining the places she describes when I read them. What made it more fun for me was to experience the town through the eyes of Eva as she has a different perspective to the other characters and I loved this. The best part about the whole book for me though was the mystery of who the baby was. Yes, I did manage to guess but only just before it was revealed, and I certainly didn't guess why it happened. The story moves at such a pace you are desperate to know, yet you want to slow it down because you just don't want it to end. I wanted things to work out for all these characters, writing about babies and family is always an emotive subject but Melissa has as ever done it complete justice. It's another superb release from Melissa Hill, and it'll leave her fans desperate for more once you've turned the final page! Brilliant!
