Military Daddy
(Heartwarming Inspirational Romance: Love Inspired (by Steeple Hill))
by
Patricia Davids
adult Christian romance
A one night stand by a recovering (relapsing)alcoholic and a career military man leads to a pregnancy. Do Annie and Shane want to see if they can succeed as a couple or should he just leave for his next duty station in Germany and forget about Annie and the baby?
I found it interesting that Annie professes to be a Christian, but the author has not made Annie a stereotype. Annie is a struggling Christian and a struggling alcoholic/recovering alcoholic. Shane is an honorable man, but not a Christian. This book does not dwell in black and white situations, but in real to life morals. This is no Grace Livingston Hill type of romance, but a contemporary romance.
The setting is an unusual one. The author has the military man as part of a reenactment group out of Fort Riley, Kansas: The General's Mounted Color Guard. Another twist is that Annie's pregnancy has a rare complication that may lead to a miscarriage or birth defect. I would rate this book as better than the average pocket size Inspirational Romance.
