The premise of this story is one of my favorites. Reunited lovers. Yum. While in theory this should have worked, I'm afraid it didn't come together well here.

The secret-baby plot works for me here, because Shelby thought Cody knew about the baby. Just thought I'd put that out there.

It was easy to fall into the story. The first chapter really had me hooked. Sadly, it started to fall apart shortly thereafter. The writing was choppy, which made for some confusing reading. Plus, both Shelby and Cody blew hot and cold. One minute they hated each other, the next they'd never gotten over each other. Cody wanted Shelby, then he didn't. Shelby wanted Cody to be part of her son's life, then she didn't. All the back-and-forthing made my head hurt.

I did enjoy a few parts here and there. The son was cute and I liked seeing him and Cody find their way together. Sadly, that wasn't enough to save the story for me.
