Learning How To Love, August 24, 2000
This review is from: You Belong To Me (Montana Mavericks) (Paperback)
This is the third in a twelve book series about how Garrett Kincaid finds the seven sons, his son Larry had with six women over the span of 37 years, grandsons he only found out about after the death of his son. Blake Remmington is the twin brother of Trent, whom we met in the first book of this series. Blake is a Pediatrician, who just after joining a practice in Whitehorn, sees Nate Dovesong who has an allergic reaction to a bee sting and realizes that this is his son, whom he knew nothing about. This book is Blake trying to gain the love and respect not only from Nate, but from his mother Serena as well. It seems to him that he is doing all the wrong things, because he didn't have a positive dad role model, he just seems at a loss to know what to do right. But with the help of Serena and even Nate himself he seems to come into his own. This is a very good book, just like the other two, I'm really looking forward to the next nine books. For good reading check out this series.

Love and obligation go hand in hand, August 8, 2000
This review is from: You Belong To Me (Montana Mavericks) (Paperback)
Dr. Blake Remmington discovers he has a son the hard way. While treating a college friend's son for what he suspects is a hereditary allergic reaction to a bee sting, he comes to the conclusion that this boy is his son. Rather than deny it, Serena Dovesong confirms his claim and, surprisingly, encourages his attempts to bond with Nate. She claims their father-son relationship has nothing to do with their friendship or their relationship. Blake and Serena have no idea where their relationship will go. Blake is afraid Serena and Nate don't need him in their life and Serena fears Blake will only view them as an obligation he must fulfill. Nate surprisingly prefers to keep his own counsel on the matter. What Blake and Serena learn, however, is that love and obligation go hand in hand. Blake's love for Serena and Nate propels him to want to care for and protect them even as the circumstances surrounding Nate's birth, as well as her own childhood, cause Serena to fear being beholden to the man she has loved for years. Jennifer Greene has written a good story about a man whose feelings of being rootless are quelled when he falls in love with Serena and the incredibly bright child they've created together. Her writing is steady and the characters she's drawn are strong. Much of Blake's individual development stems from the integration of an overarching subplot. But that, in turn, also works in favor of the development of Blake's connection with the Dovesongs.

GOT TO READ WHOLE SERIES, March 8, 2011
Got book and discovered it is one of many, so many.. Series is Gr.pa, upon wayward son's death, discovered he had quite a few Gr.sons from all walks of life. He decides to track them all down and give them a plot of land. Each book is a gr.son's story. This story is about Blake. He moves to town, runs into an old love, finds out he's a father. Teaches honesty, truth, love. Great heartwarming story. Woven through each novel is a tidbit of a mystery, all linked and not solved. You have to get the whole series to solve the mystery. THIS SET WAS OUT AROUND 2000 THRU 2001. I have found lots more written thru the years. Guess I'll be catching up. Helps to read in order due to the mystery in each. Story is not scary.
