This review is from: The Coltons: Pregnant in Prosperino (Paperback)

Chance Reilly did not have a happy childhood. His father was verbally and physically abusive. Chance is a salesperson and moves from place to place never putting down roots. Chance knows that a wife and children will never be in his future. Chance thinks he will have his dream of owning his own business when his father dies and leaves behind the family ranch. Chance is hurt and angry to discover that his father has put a clause in the will stating that Chance must marry within five days to inherit the ranch. Chance is ready to walk away from the ranch and his dreams until Lana Ramirez comes to him with a proposition.

Lana was Chance's fathers private-duty nurse and knows about the will. Lana has known Chance since she was a little girl and he spent time on the Colton ranch. Lana tells Chance that she will marry him so that he can inherit the ranch if he will give her the one thing that she wants, a baby. Chance is reluctant at first, but finally agrees to what Lana has proposed. It is supposed to be a simple business arrangement, but most of us know that nothing in life is ever simple.

Chance is a very wounded man and Lana is just the woman to help him. Of course the love story between Chance and Lana takes a back seat to those readers that have followed the series and are interested in the homecoming of Meredith Colton. If you have read the other books than it is no secret that Meredith was getting her memory back. Another attack on Emily finally brings both Emily and Meredith home to the Colton ranch. Their homecoming also leaves us anticipating the next book in the Colton series.

Favorite scene with Lana-
Her heart to heart with her mom.

Favorite scene with Chance-
Discovering that Lana has left him and going after her, with no success.

Together-
Dinner out and taking a walk and going to look at baby stuff.

What did you like about Lana-
She loved Chance. She accepted him for who he was. She made his home a real home. She wanted a baby more than anything.

What didn't you like about Lana-
I know she was heartbroken, thinking Chance didn't love her, but I felt like she gave up on him when she left him.

What did you like about Chance-
He was tough, yet sensitive. He wasn't afraid to show his emotions. Although the start of his marriage with Lana was a contract, he still cared about her and made her feel important.

What didn't you like about Chance-
That his dwelling on his past could have cost him Lana's love.
