The Knight and Maggie's Baby by Lisa Mondello
Book 3 in Fate With a Helping Hand Series
Jonah wanted to save his childhood home and the catch was to be married for one year so his Grandfather would not sell it. That is what led him to make an arrangement with his secretary, Catherine, for a pretend marriage for only one year. Only she bolted at the last minute.
Jonah had money and everything materialistic but he had an emptiness that he could not identify until he met Maggie Bonelli. Going into her coffee shop to use the phone after being left at the altar was quite humbling. Dressed in his tux, his building across the street but no keys to enter it and no employee's working because he gave them off, he felt like a thirteen year old once again. The beautiful woman gave him coffee and pie and conversation. He really did not want to leave her company, after calling Michael to come and get him, he was glad when she accepted a ride home in his limo with him. And before he knew it he was asking her to marry him.
Maggie's mother, Rhonda, could not believe she had turned the handsome millionaire away . With a baby on the way and the Keith washing his hands of her, Rhonda thought it was an opportunity to give her baby more than she was able to give Maggie. She felt content in her life though. She had the love of her mother and before her grandma had passed on some months ago, she had her love and now she had Grandma's coffee shop as the reminder of her childhood. As she reconsidered though, Maggie knew that by allowing Jonah to give her baby his name, it would save her child much grief in the future.
Can a man with everything the world had to offer but never had the love he wanted from his parents and a woman who had nothing and yet was rich for having the love of her mother and grandmother find a happiness together? This was a really touching story.
*Mild sexual situations and language.

The plot is cute and has characters you grow to like. It is predictable, but that is not a crime in a romance. I just wish the author would get a better editor. There are a few grammar and spelling mistakes that were distracting and motivated me to lower the rating of the book.

Great read. Enjoyed this story. It was predictable but so what? I loved that the heroine was strong and independent and the hero was YUM. Worth your time.##

I loved this modern Cinderella story. Wonderful characters and a sweet story. I was hooked from the first page and read it without stopping.

Loved this book. What innocent young girl doesn't dream of a knight saving her. This book is about a not so innocent woman needing to be saved, and Sir Jonah Wallace stepping up to save her. Yes he is there for his own selfish reasons, but he is honest with her from the start. Maggie struggles to remain independent as per her agreement with Jonah, but as they both fall in love they cant remain apart. I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Moved slowly in places, but a good read

The plot was typical but made one feel good. Spelling, grammar and proper use of words were lacking at times which is why it is rated three stars.

This book is a great story. Very clean book with both a main and underlying theme that reminds you what is important in life.

Light read..cute and fast.

Nice but somewhat bland contemporary marriage-of-convenience story. Could really have used an editor!

Made me laugh and cry. Loved this book!

Nice love story.Not enough real conversation between characters.

For those who love romance this was a very good story.

It was okay. Story mainly revolved around trust issues. Not really much story telling, although sweet. Felt it lacked strength! Just a warning to other readers, the story ends at page 486 and excerpts for other books pick up at that point and end at page 629. Weird! That's why I gave it 3 stars, although the book was free! I'm just sayin'!

Fabulous story.

Enjoyed this book.

I really enjoyed this book, and, unlike some super-short books I've read by Mondello, this one was over 400 pages. The hero was dreamy, without being macho, and I cried at the end with happiness. What more can one ask for?

A very cute story totally ruined by the grammatical and spelling errors... I have read this authors books before and don't remember so many mistakes... Loved the characters and the twist to the story but the errors were ridiculous... For anyone that reads fast and retains what they read this book is nearly impossible to get through... The shoes were beige and then they were white (same outfit, same day), he thought her freckles were cute the first time he saw them and then two days later he thought her freckles were cute the first time (that time) he saw them...
