REVIEW - Alton's Secret Baby (The Promise They Made #2) by Iris Parker

The Book
Release Date: 18 May 2018

When I win access to an interview with Alton Greene, all eyes are on me. Getting an exclusive with the NHL’s most eligible bachelor could make or break my career—a trivial detail, as far as I’m concerned. To me, Alton isn’t just a hockey star.
He’s also a complete monster.
My son is sick, and only a full-blooded sibling can save him. Except I never met the biological father, everything was handled through a fertility clinic. And when that clinic told him what I needed, he ignored them.
It took me a year to learn that Alton was the donor, but now I know. My interview with him is sure to be the most important one of my life, but not for the reason that everyone believes. I don’t care about my job, hockey, or anything else. All that matters is saving my son’s life, even if I have to seduce Alton to do it.
It goes against everything I believe in, but he didn’t leave me a choice.
Except… Alton isn’t anything like how I pictured him. He’s tender and caring, the kind of man who will surprise me with ice cream when I’m feeling down. I thought he was a monster, but he doesn’t act like one. Has there been some kind of horrible mistake?
If I confess everything to him and he still refuses to help, all hope is lost.
But if I keep lying and Alton really is a good man, how can I ever live with myself?

—————

Alton’s Secret Baby is 400 pages of complete, stand-alone steamy romance with a happy ending.
 

My Review  5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Although this is the second book in the series you do not need to read the first, although it would help with the relationship between Alton and Dominic and you also get a feel of him as a character going into this book.

Holy Moly.  This was an epic read that at one point had me completely in tears it was that emotional.

The author has again managed to weave a complicated story with so much emotional baggage and drama.  

Even though Alton never wanted to be a father he takes the news so much better than you would think, especially when he finds that there is one ill and one on the way which was hoped to be a saviour baby.

Both characters have baggage, Alton manages to get over his without a problem, however it is Jessie that struggles to get over her past and her fear in order to get her happy ever after with Alton.  A man who has shown strength, support and been there for her from the moment he finds out that he is a father.

At the end we get an epilogue a few years down the line from the perspective of Ezra and we get to see how happy the family is and how close as friends Dominic and his wife are with Alton and Jessie still.

I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
