Title: Mommy
Midwife
Author: Cassie Miles
Review: This
is not a large book and it starts well.
I enjoyed the story and the romance even though most of it was right
before the baby was born, but a few things bothered me.
I didn’t like that it
moved so fast and seemed to miss important details and things I wanted to
know. Her parents had amazing lives and
her sister also and yet the author just alluded to those and left the reader
hanging.
Also the ending was
too fast for me…I wanted more and I wanted the author to spend more time on the
ending and not rush it like she did.
I think this book is
good except for what I stared above and I believe this author can improve her
stories by giving them more dimensions and time. Fifty or more pages would have been
reasonable and made a much more pulled together book that many readers would
enjoy. With the back-story of both
characters and especially her family, I think this could have been a much
better book and more fulfilling to the reader.

Synopsis: Staying
several moves ahead has kept Troy Weathers alive in the world's most explosive
hot spots. So when this marine learns that Olivia Laughton is being stalked, he
immediately takes her and their unborn child on the run. His instincts tell him
it will require more than skill to keep them safe—and to prove just how much he
wants to stay in their lives. Olivia has no problem trusting Troy to keep her
safe, or following his orders. It's believing their one night together was more
than just a passionate fling that seems riskiest of all. Still, with time
running out and an unsuspected enemy closing in, Olivia knows Troy is her best
chance at survival…and their
baby's only shot at a promising future.
Author Biography : Cassie grew up in a small town at the
very tip of southern Illinois. A tomboy, she spent most of her time outside and
got into big trouble for breaking the trellis while climbing out her
second-story bedroom window.
When her family moved
to L.A., major culture shock ensued. She discovered that grapefruits grew on
trees, television offered more than two channels, and all the other girls had
breasts. While hiding out and waiting for her chest to develop, she read voraciously,
raiding her mother's bookshelf for Mickey Spillane when she finished all her
Nancy Drew novels.
Another move took her
family to Denver, the place Cassie still calls home.
She graduated from
North Central college outside Chicago, got married, and returned to Colorado
where she worked in personnel at the Denver Post and lived in a mountain cabin
without running water. Upon learning she was pregnant, a return to civilization
seemed prudent. She settled in Denver, raised two amazing daughters, and started
writing for Harlequin. After her divorce, she took a break from romance and
wrote straight suspense.
During her frantic
years as a single mom, writing books and working odd jobs to supplement her
income, she hardly had time to breathe, much less to dream. Then something
remarkable happened. She fell in love with a tall, sexy man who was an aerial
photographer and the author of tough-guy mystery novels. Fortunately, he loved
her back. She found her real-life hero, inherited three more grown kids and three
grandchildren.
Cassie started writing
romance again, loving every minute of a life filled with laughter, crazy road
trips, sailboats, and journeys to Oregon with long walks on rocky beaches.
Not too long ago, the
love of her life developed inoperable pancreatic cancer. With supportive
friends and family standing by, he died at home.
Cassie now lives
alone, surrounded by beautiful memories. She has no regrets and considers
herself lucky to have found her soul mate, the man with whom she shared a
perfect love.
