REVIEW: Babyjacked by Sosie Frost

Babyjacked: A Second Chance Romance by Sosie Frost
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Book Description: 

Five years ago, I let the girl of my dreams get away. 

To be honest, I set fire to her barn, fought with her brothers, then exiled myself to a logging company in the Canadian wilderness. 

But a reclusive b@stard can’t hide forever. When my sister got sick, I took in my two young nieces. Now I’m paying rent to Sesame Street, drinking Jack and fruit juice, and reading my chainsaw manual as a bedtime story. 

I’ve gone from lumberjack to babyjacked, and I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. 

Fortunately, I found a nanny. Five years have passed, and Cassi’s not just my best friends’ little sister anymore. She’s all grown up, dark and beautiful with a smart mouth and a broken heart. 

Doesn’t take long before she’s falling for me again, but I can’t shout timber yet. 

Cassi can’t forgive the past. And I can’t tell her why I ran. 
When a man doesn’t deserve a second chance...
He’s just gotta steal her heart.

This is a difficult one for me. On one hand, it wasn't a bad book. It was amusing and I made it through, but on the other hand, it just didn't do much for me.

I don't know if I just didn't connect to the characters or I'd I just got frustrated with them. This book sounded awesome. I was really looking forward to it, and based on the blurb it seem to fit the bill of what I was looking for.

I got frustrated with Remington. I figured out pretty quickly what his secret was from 5 years ago. And I got frustrated that it took so long for that to come out. But I also got frustrated about the little lies he was telling about his sister's "illness". It just seemed really stupid to lie about those things.

Ask for Cassi, I just never really connected with her. I kept feeling like she wasn't following through on things she said she was going to do. And I felt like she was such a doormat to everybody. She gave in to her brothers, she gave in to Rem, she gave in to the people in town. And on the rare times that she actually stood up to Rem and demanded the truth their conversations were frustrating.

This book was not awful. It has its funny moments, it had its Sweet Moments... But I just didn't connect with it in a way that made me love it.
