 A Protector for Her Baby

Book Summary

For one little boy,

he’ll change his whole life…

From the moment Mallory Kent arrives at his farm, pregnant and seeking shelter, Liam Williams vows to help her. Mallory’s fleeing an abusive ex-husband and needs to start over. Caring for Liam’s elderly mother, who has dementia, gives Mallory stability—for now. Soon Liam can’t picture life without Mallory or little Oliver. But Mallory struggles to trust any man, especially now she has a son to keep safe. Can Liam show her the family they’re building is worth risking her heart?

My Thoughts

A Protector for Her Baby by April Arrington is a sweet story.  The characters are likeable and relatable. The story spans several months which gives Mallory and Liam time to get to know each other.  It is a slow burn type of romance (old fashioned in a way which I liked).  Liam is a kind, caring, and compassionate man. You can tell by the way he cares for his ailing mother. Mallory needs a man with those qualities as she recovers from the abuse she suffered from her ex-husband.  It was great that Liam introduced Mallory to a wonderful group of women.  She needed additional support as Mallory struggled with her feelings for her soon to be born child.  I like that we get to catch up with Jessie, Holt, and their kids (from A Haven for His Twins).  The ending was not what I expected, but it is moving. I enjoyed the descriptions of the farm (I wanted to live there).  The epilogue left me smiling. A Protector for Her Baby is a touching, heartfelt tale with a heaven-sent haven, a mother with missing memories, a compassionate son, a welcome home, fireside chats, thoughtful friends, conflicted thoughts, and a generous God.

A Protector for Her Baby is avaiilable from Amazon.  You can find April Arrington's other novels here.  If you follow April Arrington on Amazon, they will email you when she has a new book release.  I appreciate you taking time out of your day to pop by today.  I will return on Tuesday, February 11 with New Arrivals on West India Dock Road by Renita D'Silva.  It is the first book in a new historical series.  

I am off to feed the ducks.  They are clever creatures.  They followed me to the backyard yesterday (see the picture above--this is only a few of the ducks) and watched me install these large shiny owls with bells in the pine tree that are supposed to scare them off.  One duck thought they were funny (he made these quacking noises and shook his tail feathers at the same time).  The contingent then followed me back to the carport for their evening feast.  The younger ducks (I call them the teenagers) have figured out how to get to the cats hard food dish.  They must duck under a child's size wood bench and stick their head through the fencing that I have around the cats food and water dishes (the realistic looking owl statues did not even phase them).  Their long necks allow them to accomplish this feat. The only thing that keeps them from going back into that area is the bear statue that I have at the entrance (at least something works).  I hope that you have a cheerful day. Take care and Happy Reading!
