Harlequin October Tour - Home For The Baby's Sake - Book Review

 

Home for the Baby's Sake by Christine Rimmer

Book description from Harlequin:

He’d do anything for his son…including returning to the town he left behind.

Valentine Bay’s the perfect place for real estate developer Roman Marek to raise his infant son. But when he snaps up the charming local theater, he doesn’t bargain for tempestuous director Hailey Bravo. Hailey won’t let Roman wreck the thing she holds most dear—and she’s certainly gotten under Roman’s notoriously thick skin. As the duo spar and sparks fly, Roman’s surprised to find that Hailey’s the perfect missing piece for his family. But how can he convince her that this partnership’s for keeps?

 My Review after reading the book:

 Hailey Bravo lives in Valentine’s Bay and owns a production company with her sister Harper. She also helps the arts council run local productions in the town theatre. Word around town is that the theatre has a new owner, and now the fate of the theater is in the new owners’ hands. Maybe she can convince them to let the community still use it.

Roman Marek has moved back to Valentine with his infant son and his mother and is now the new owner of the Valentine Bay theatre. His plan is to renovate and turn it into a hotel. He is about making a profit, and in the state, it is now, it is not making money. When he goes to check out his new property, he happens to meet Hailey and she piques his interest.

Hailey and Roman get off to a good start which turns sour quite quickly when she finds out he is the new theatre owner and hears his renovation plans. They seem to be at an impasse, but Roman thinks the answer is quite simple…. If she marries him, he will gift her the theatre. Hailey thinks Roman is rushing things and tells him to slow down. After they start spending more time together will Roman still want to marry Hailey? Will Hailey relent and marry Roman to get the theatre?

This was such a sweet story and I loved Christine Rimmer’s writing style. I loved the love interest between the two main characters and I also adored all the supporting characters in the story. Although this is the ninth book in the series, I did read it as a stand a lone novel and had no trouble at all catching up on the backstory of the series. I would like to go back and read the series from the beginning to delve deeper into all the characters. Thank you so much to the author Christine Rimmer, Harlequin Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.
