Suzanne
To say that my family is traditional would be an understatement, so I knew when I got pregnant unexpectedly with no husband in sight, they weren’t going to take it well. My brother Alex, the only one who ever has my back, asked his best friend to be there when we broke the news, hoping an outsider would temper their reactions. It. Did. Not. It went about as bad as I could imagine until—Matt saved the day. Now I have a baby daddy, and a not so fake fiancee to boot. Nothing can go wrong living in a make-believe relationship with the boy I’ve loved since I was eight. Nothing at all.
Matthew
I went that night to give Susie Q my support, not to almost punch her father and claim her as my own. I did though. The minute I saw the chance, I claimed her and her baby as mine. I don’t plan on giving them back.
My take...
Suzanne has found herself in quite the pickle with her family, a family with ties to the White House and a long line in politics. Being pregnant and alone, she could cost her brother votes and humiliate her entire family in the eyes of the country. But then Matthew, a long time family friend, speaks up and claims the baby as his. Can he claim Susie as well?
When reading a short story, it has to be well written and have enough back story for me to feel some connection to it; to love it. And Faye has this uncanny knack of doing just that and more. Sure, I always end up wanting more, but it’s because I fell so quickly for these characters that I become addicted to them. These characters demand more stories!!
Another fabulous read from the Forbidden Fruits Short series. Who else is ready to meet Eli in TALL, DARK, AND BROODING? This gal!! 5 Stars!!
