His Secret Starlight Baby

This is a funny, sweet romance that I just knew from the beginning would have a happy ending because I have read the other books in the series. But getting to the ending was so much fun as I read this delightful romance set in the little town of Starlight. Jordan Schaeffer is a retired NFL player who has opened a bar in the town and is relaxing into his new role. Then, Cory Hall arrived to town and threw a wrench into his plans since she has his baby, the one he knew nothing about, with her. The plot was well-developed with some sub plots about Cory trying to find her place in Starlight and being determined that Jordan get to know his son, even if he wants nothing to do with her. I enjoyed the interactions between Cory and the really grumpy cook Madison whom no one else would try to cross. Madison was my favorite character and I would love to see more of her in a future book, just because of her attitude showing that at some time she has been hurt badly. Jordan’s mom gives him the best advice possible about his situation, so all works out well, but there was some rough going there for a while.The conflict between Jordan and his teammate Kade, who suddenly shows up in town, added a little tension to the plot and a break from the conflict between Cory and Jordan. I think my favorite part of the book was the cooking classes that Madison gave and how the group grew to a bunch of misfits who seemed to not even know what a kitchen was. The cooking class meetings were filled with humor and fun and I could certainly place myself there since I have never been a good cook.The development of the characters was well-done, with realistic details that made them likable. I rooted for Jordan and Cory to get it together from the beginning of the book and was invested in their doing so by the author’s method of weaving the story to make it interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a light romance.

It only takes one night together for there to be consequences as Jordan Schaeffer discovered in His Secret Starlight Baby by Michelle Major, book four in her Welcome to Starlight series. Jordan, a former professional football player, had a game plan after an injury; retire from the game and establish himself in Starlight. When Cory Hall arrives with their infant son, Jordan is not only surprised but needs to revise his life plan. Cory agrees to be his fake fiancée, at least until they can work out a co-parenting plan. Cory has never lived life just for her and finds herself falling into the old trap of doing things for others. This time she has her son to think about before teaming up with Jordan for a life together. Ms. Major wrote an enjoyable, emotional romance that should definitely not be missed. She provided a story with magnetic attraction, a caring community, and charming secondary characters helping Cory and Jordan get their happily ever after. I enjoyed and highly recommend His Secret Starlight Baby to other readers.

I love visiting Starlight and this was no exception. Ex football player, Jordan has retired to Starlight to run his bar, life is good. Ex friend, Cory has showed up in town with a bundle of surprise for Jordan, a baby! One night of fun for them led to Ben. They can't deny the chemistry that they share but they need to let down their defenses to have a HEA. Love this town full of friends and support for each other. A quick emotional tale of finding their HEA. This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend this story.
