Baby, I'm Yours

Becca’s husband, Gabe died suddenly of a heart attack leaving a major void in her life. He also died without life insurance putting her and their family in a bind financially. As she struggles to make ends meet, she finds herself getting more and more run down until she finally sees a doctor. What he tells her will change her life entirely. She is pregnant.

Becca has only slept with one man her entire life until the night of Gabe’s wake. That night she turned to his best friend, Rick for support and finds herself making love with their friend. They both agree to put it behind them and to forget it happened. Now that she is pregnant she is praying this is Gabe’s last gift to her, but what if it is Rick’s baby?

This is the book of dreams. As Becca’s dreams are shattered by her husband’s death she realizes just how scary life can be with all of its unknowns and she has to come up with a life plan for herself and her children. When Rick steps up to the plate as a friend and she realizes what happened with Rick might not have been a fluke, maybe her friend could be more. Finding love after her husband’s death may have seemed far fetched to her before, but having had months to grieve and work through the emotions, she is ready to move on – but is her family…

BABY, I’M YOURS is emotionally driven and fully well rounded to make a great novel. Becca and Rick are great main characters. Her in-laws and children make great secondary characters. The only flaw in the characters was Rick’s adult daughter. I felt she could have played a larger role in showing what a great man and father he will be for the new baby. All in all, Carrie Weaver has written an emotionally charged story that kept this reader reading long into the night.
