4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars, March 31, 2004

By	Ramie Gustafson "rgus68" - See all my reviews

Due to a mix up Caitlin Cunningham is forced to chose between twin baby girls. Unable to chose she decides to adopt both of them but can only take both home if she's married. Matt MacAllister steps into help. Caitlin realizes the marriage solves the problem for the babies but not her own. Although she's falling for Matt, Caitlin has reservations about being married to someone who works at a hospital because her father who was a doctor was never around. Matt feels he's never excelled like the rest of his family so he pushes himself to be the best.
I liked the story a lot but my only slight problem was that although Matt comes to realize being normal is okay with him and that he needs to balance his professional life with his personal Caitlin never resolves her problem because Matt ends up quitting his job.
Caitlin automatically assumes he'll be married to his work without once giving him a chance. I would of liked to see her figure out that even though her father wasn't around much that he still loved her or other ways her father showed his love. Or realize that even though Matt's hardworking he'll still have plenty of time to be husband and father.
I felt that by quitting his job they were avoiding never having Caitlin overcome her problem like they did with Matt.

Due to a mix up Caitlin Cunningham is forced to chose between twin baby girls. Unable to chose she decides to adopt both of them but can only take both home if she's married. Matt MacAllister steps into help he came along to help friends adopting a baby. Caitlin realizes the marriage solves the problem for the babies but not her own. Although she's falling for Matt, Caitlin has reservations about being married to someone who works at a hospital because her father who was a doctor was never around. Matt feels he's never excelled like the rest of his family so he pushes himself to be the best. I liked the story a lot but my reason for giving it three stars instead of five comes from the resolving of Caitlin's problem with Matt. The author successfully has Matt comes to realize being normal is okay with him and that he needs to balance his professional life with his personal life. But fails to resolve Cailtin's problems with Matt's profession Caitlin automatically assumes he'll be married to his work without once giving him a chance to prove otherwise. I would of liked to see her figure out that even though her father wasn't around much that he still loved her or other ways her father showed his love or realize that even though Matt's hardworking he'll still have plenty of time to be husband and father. The author simply solves Caitln's problem by having Matt quit his job. I expected Caitlin to go through realizations and resolve her problems the way she did with Matt instead it was a lazy way to finish the book and keep Caitlin from ever dealing with her problems. I felt cheated after enjoying the story very much up until this point.
