HIS BEST FRIEND'S BABY by Molly O'Keefe

Rating **** (4 Stars)

Julia is the widow of Mitch Adams, one of the friends who had died in Iraq and had fought beside Jesse. Unlike the rest of the small desert town of New Springs, California, Julia is not angry with Jesse for what happened to Mitch. In fact, she's anything but angry. She knows Jesse, and she trusts that he was not to blame.

What the townspeople don't know is that Mitch was far from the perfect man they make him out to be, and Jesse understands the turmoil Julia went through in her short marriage to Mitch. Despite their common bond, Jesse wants nothing to do with Julia because he's in love with her, and the guilt over Mitch's death isn't being helped by being in love with Mitch's widow.

Julia has had feelings for Jesse since she first met him, but she never followed through with her feelings for him while married to Mitch. Now that she's alone with a two-year-old son, she is willing to follow her heart. She needs Jesse, just as she knows he needs her. However, her first priority is to her son and what she needs to do to support him. She's swallowed her pride and has accepted financial help from her in-laws, despite the fact that they never approved of her in the past. She is hoping that living with them will bring some stability to her son's life, something she never knew, being born into a military family.

This reviewer enjoyed HIS BEST FRIEND'S BABY. One will find the story behind the deaths of Jesse's friends absorbing, building up slowly until it is finally revealed exactly what happened to the men in Iraq. The various plot lines will keep the readers engaged, but it's the characters that will pull the readers in. Both Julia and Jesse are two very charismatic characters that create tension throughout the novel.
