I loved this story. Roxanne pulled me right into this story. The emotions she felt pulled at my heartstrings. Roxanne received some really bad news right before her sister’s wedding. She didn’t have time for a meltdown, or to take time out for the grief she felt. For Roxanne was one of her sister’s bridesmaids. She put on a smile, and brave front and tried to act happy. She didn’t want to ruin one of the best days of her sisters life.Greg was her date for her sister’s wedding. She had never met him before. Greg saw through the act, and wanted to make Roxanne happy. He also wanted to get to know her better. I love how the story was slow and sweet. It allowed time for a friendship and trust to build. Greg, and Roxanne seemed to have an instant connection. She trusted Greg with her news, and shared it with him, when she felt she couldn’t turn to anyone else. The romance was very sweet. I loved the culture, and travel in this story. My husband spent a year in Iraq. It was nice read about a family that lived there, and their cultures. It is heart breaking to read what war has done to one country, and how it effects everyone. I knew the heartbreaking stories my husband told me from serving in the Army. His stories didn’t give me a face, they were just stories. Reading this book was almost like I knew the family, and my heart went out to them. Roxanne Ramsey has a career she loves as a reporter seeking out international stories, but will unexpected complications send her life in a different direction?The story opens with Roxanne attending her sister's wedding as a bridesmaid, but Rosanne's just discovered she's pregnant and the father has been killed in Iraq. One of the bridegrooms, Greg, reaches out to Roxy with a kind, caring hand and she embraces his offer. Over the course of several weeks, they grow close, but Roxy is concerned Greg will never want her because of her condition. Both Roxy and Greg have emotional issues to overcome, but are they insurmountable?Risk pens a highly entertaining and emotional story with "Valentine Babies." Her writing is easy to read (it always is) and it effortlessly wraps the reader around the story. The plot moves at a nice clip, not too fast or slow.The journey the characters take is heartwarming. Roxy is at a crossroads with two paths in front of her. Which one will she take? Greg has an honest, noble heart, but possesses a fear of flying. Will that fear ruin his future?The story is sweet for romance readers with Greg and Roxy sharing several kisses and tender embraces. Overall, "Valentine Babies," is an endearing story that makes one believe that the power of love can overcome anything. I highly recommend this story.

2,5/5,0Bit too cheesy and dramatic for my taste, plus I don't like over-protective men.
