Having the Soldier's Baby
Back from the dead…
And back in her heart?
Emily
and Winston Hannigan had a fairy-tale romance…until he perished for his
country. So when Winston arrives on her doorstep very much alive,
Emily’s overjoyed. Winston’s a changed man, though. He may have survived
the unthinkable. But he believes he doesn’t deserve Emily—or their
unborn child. And Winston’s secret shakes Emily to the core. But at that
core is still love…
MY REVIEW: Tara Taylor Quinn is an author who always goes straight to the heart of the story. Her writing has an added depth of emotional involvement with the characters. In "Having the Soldier's Baby", Emily and Winston Hannigan were first school friends, then teen sweethearts, and finally newlyweds at age twenty two. Deeply in love, and looking forward to a bright and happy future, they could never have imagined the unexpected twists and turns their lives would take. Unsuccessful at having a child on their own, they had considered help from a fertility clinic. When Win is sent to Afghanistan in service to his country, he is later declared missing in action. After two years missing, he is declared dead. Unable to let go of the love of her life, Emily returns to the fertility clinic and is artificially inseminated with Win's sperm donation, which had been stored at the clinic.To her amazement and great joy, Win is found to be alive and returns home. However, he is quite a different man--a man of many secrets and much guilt. Emily has just one secret--a very big secret. Their reunion is not at all as she imagined it would be--will her love and commitment give her the strength and patience needed to allow Win his time to heal? Will he be able to face his regrets and self-doubts and once again be a devoted and loving husband to Emily? "Having the Soldier's Baby" is a very poignant and compelling romance from the talented Tara Taylor Quinn.

Tara Taylor Quinn
Tara Taylor Quinn began her
love affair with Harlequin when she was fourteen years old and picked up
a free promotional copy of a Harlequin Romance in a hometown grocery
store. The relationship was solidified the year she was suspended from
her high school typing class for hiding a Harlequin Romance behind the
keys of her electric typewriter. Unaware that her instructor loomed
close by, Ms. Quinn read blissfully on with one finger resting on the
automatic repeating period key. She finished the book in the principal’s
office. Forced to leave her romances in her locker after that, Ms.
Quinn’s typing skills improved - a fact for which she is eternally
grateful.
With 90 original novels, published in more than
twenty languages, Tara Taylor Quinn is a USA Today bestselling author
