Review:

As Coburn Grant prepares to offer up a toast at a friend’s wedding, the last person he ever expects to see walks in………his soon to be ex-wife, Diana. Needless to say, he didn’t deliver the toast he had prepared. Instead he issued a toast wrought with warnings about love not being enough and to be very sure about what they’re getting into. He then wishes the couple well, and leaves. He had no idea that Diana would follow.

When Diana confronts him at his apartment, things heat up to the point where Coburn thinks that one last roll in the hay will rid him of what he feels for Diana and get her out of his system. Diana knows that she’s made a huge mistake afterwards and practically runs out of his apartment. She has a few weeks before she leaves New York for Africa, where she has accepted a position with Doctors Without Borders. There, she feels that she can finally do something meaningful as a pediatric surgeon and not be in her father’s shadow, who is a world renowned orthopedic surgeon. She also wouldn’t have to worry about running into Coburn. However, when she shows up the next morning for her meeting with Coburn and his attorney to finalize their divorce, she finds that Coburn has changed his mind, and won’t sign the papers. Furious, she leaves and heads home.

Diana only has a few weeks before she leaves for Africa. But during those weeks, she discovers that their last time together not only broke her heart, but left her pregnant as well. She makes the decision to go to Africa, get her head on straight and then let Coburn know that they’re going to have a baby. When Coburn receives a call from Diana’s doctor’s office,(Diana hadn’t changed her contact info), he discovers she’s pregnant and she left the country anyway.

Coburn flies to Africa and Diana is surprised to find him at her hotel when she got back that particular night. She gives in and leaves with him. She knows she’s in over her head with being pregnant and not feeling well in a third world country, and heads home. Only when they are about to land does she discover that she’s not actually being taken home, but to some remote island where Coburn vows that they WILL work out what’s between them for the sake of the baby. But, can Diana stay with someone who only wants things to work out for the good of their unborn child and live without love? Well my friends, you’ll just have to read to find out……..And, oh, what a read it is!

Jennifer Hayward has once again written a wonderful story that grabs you from the very first. Diana wants so bad to be independent and make her own way in the world, but her father constantly overshadows her. She is also so afraid of being in a marriage that is in name only, just like her parents. The same can be said of Coburn. He feels that he’s never going to be able to live up to his brother’s expectations, let alone live up to their dead father’s legacy. Once Diana and Coburn decide to really try to work things out, what follows will break your heart and ultimately have you cheering for them both. Reunited for the Billionaire’s Legacy is ultimately a book about letting go of preconceived notions, and your past, to see what can truly be. I’ll say it again. If you’re not reading Jennifer Hayward, you are seriously missing out. And, again, I’d read a phonebook written by Jennifer Hayward. There are no wasted words, no repetitiveness, (which is becoming an issue with several authors that I read) which leaves a beautiful story. Well done, Jennifer Hayward. Very, very well done!
