Cry Baby (Pierce Brothers Book 4) by Belinda Williams – Review by Bethany Rollins

Cry Baby by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book more than I expected to. Noah is suddenly placed as guardian to Amelia when his best friend, Beth, passes away. With no knowledge of children, his brother and sister-in-law bring Amy to the rescue to nanny while Noah adjusts to being the primary caregiver. Noah, an internal person who prefers not to engage in small talk has an instant attraction to Amy, who is bubbly and charismatic. The two form a bond and develop their attraction to each other in the closeness of taking care of Amelia and searching for the real father that Beth never disclosed to anyone.
The characters in this book were fabulous. I loved how the author wove in Beth’s storyline and made her a primary character and gave us a glimpse into the mom she was to Amelia for the short time they were together. Getting tidbits of Beth’s story also gave us a hint at the true Noah and what Amy finds attractive in him that others fail to notice. Noah is flawed and fails to understand how
Beth trusted him with Amelia, but you see his caring and giving ways scattered throughout the book. Amy is determined to show him that he is the best father figure for the little girl entrusted to him while she battles her own personal emotions of loss and despair. There are a few topics that could be triggers to some but the author doesn’t get very deep and keeps the book lighthearted even with the sprinkle of darker subjects. There are also a few steamy scenes but I appreciate that these
did not take away from the storyline and were kept minimal.
