Rebecca is emphatic that she does not want to have children. She finds herself looking for a man who also wants to be unencumbered with such a responsibility. The man she meets is Jack and they fall in love and marry and feel as though they have it all! Traveling and great jobs and a beautiful house. They like kids, but they belong to other people!

Their lives are about to change when their doorbell rings and an ex-girlfriend arrives holding the hand of a five year old little girl! Meet your daughter, Jack. We need a place to stay tonight!

The author has you hypnotic at that point in time! It’s like you are hooked right there and you will not put down this book! The characters seem so real because I am sure every aspect of this book has happened or will happen to someone! Life is so real and this book puts things into perspective that people are careless about their own choices and decisions and that if they are not careful it’s ultimately the child who suffers!
The author has written an exceptional amazing story that I would definitely recommend this book to anyone especially to teenagers Or college age young women!

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

This is an emotional read. I thought that the story was predictable but still a good read. It was emotional and raw in places.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

Late one evening, the doorbell at Jack & Rebecca's house rings. Cara and her young daughter Sophia are on the other side of the door. Cara had a relationship with Jack years before, and is claiming that Sophia is his daughter. Cara's background and future challenges are eventually exposed as the story moves forward.
Based on the beginning of the story, I expected a slightly sinister story line, but midway through the book, the emotional onslaught arrives and the story takes a different direction.

My Husband’s Daughter was not what I was expecting. I thought there was going to be twists and turns, but in a more thrilling way. This novel reminded me of the movie Stepmom. I liked all the characters, I was suspicious of Cara at first. Mainly because I thought this was going to be more suspenseful. But her diagnosis was revealed pretty early on so that suspicion went away. I really liked Rebecca and her growth throughout the novel. I don’t know if I would have been able to act the way she did. She didn’t want kids, no way no how. And now a four year old shows up at her door, and it’s her husbands surprise child. She handled it with such grace and I really liked her for it.

Young married couple Jack and Rebecca. A couple who has decided that they don't want to have children. Then an old girlfriend shows up at the door with a little girl.

Very emotional! Sophie was cute.

My Husbands Daughter by Emma Robinson
Rebecca and Jack, married, successful and happy. One Friday evening when the doorbell rings, standing at the door is Cara (Jack's ex-girlfriend) and her daughter Sophie. There the story begins.
This story is told from two perspectives - Rebecca's and Cara's.
This is a story where the past and present are cleverly intertwined; it covers a range of emotions that will make you laugh and cry; it is a thought-provoking read. I highly recommend it.
I want to thank NetGalley, Bookouture and author Emma Robinson for a pre-publication copy to review.

What a beautiful heart wrenching story of love and loss. Once i got into it, it was one of those books that i just couldn't put down. The way the story was told switching between characters was very enjoyable.

Rebecca and Jack had an amazing life together. Both extremely busy with their work, but making time for the other. They were both adamant that they didn't want children in their lives. One evening the doorbell rings and it's one of Jack's ex girlfriend's, with a 4 year old child in tow, who she says is Jack's.

Why has Cara appeared now with her daughter? Where was she for the last 4 years? Rebecca has a strong feeling that Cara is about to turn their lives upside down, but not necessarily in the way Rebecca expects.

This is a wonderfully written book full of love, pain, friendship, hope, and a whole lot more love, because a mother will do anything for her daughter. A fabulous book, and a lovely story, but keep some tissues to hand.

Wow! Just finished this book and absolutely loved it. I will say it felt a little slow to start and took a little getting into but once I did I found I couldn’t stop reading.
In this book we meet Rebecca and Jack, the perfect couple with a perfect life until one Friday Evening when there is a ring on the doorbell. Introducing Cara (Jack’s ex girlfriend) and her daughter Sophie.
The story is told from both Cara and Rebecca’s prospective and really draws you in.
A very thought provoking, emotional book. What would you do in their position?
I fell in love with little Sophie and grew to love both Cara and Rebecca in their own ways as I learned more about them and the story evolved. I cried big fat tears and was grateful for the epilogue to help dry them up.
This is the 1st book I’ve read by this author but I shall certainly be looking for and reading more.
Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book

Have a box, no two boxes, of tissues at the ready for this one.
A beautifully written, heart wrenching story of love and loss and families, old and new.

Jack and Rebecca live a busy, well organised life, with their future mapped out in front of them.
Cara, along with daughter Sophie, arrive at their door late one Friday night. How many secrets is Cara hiding and what does she expect from Jack and Rebecca?

You will get pulled into this one from the very first word and will find it hard to put down until the very last one. It will stay with you once you have put the book down and dried your eyes!

I’m not going to lie, you will shed tears reading this story. It deals with some very heartbreaking issues that no one ever wants to have to deal with. The author describes and explains things well, always gentle to everyone’s feelings.

As the story progresses your feelings towards the characters will change as revelations are made and their histories are explained.
I fell in love with all the characters in this book.

This is the first book I have read from this author, but it certainly won’t be the last.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers and most importantly the author, for the chance to read this book, in exchange for an honest review.

When Jack and Rebecca meet and married they were absolutely, without a doubt certain, that they didn’t want kids. Both have high pressure jobs and both wanted the most success and freedom they could have, feeling that a child would take all that away from them.
So one a Friday night , their doorbell rings and ...surprise... it’s Jacks ex girlfriend with their 4 year old daughter. A daughter Jack claims to never have known about, not only that but Cara, the ex girlfriend , has a huge secret
She’s keeping from Jack and Rebecca .
This book is written from both Rebecca and Cara’s points of view, it was a page turner as secret after secret is revealed !

The two main characters in this spellbinding story are Rebecca and Cara. In an ordinary and measured life they could never be friends but when push comes to shove their friendship flourishes in a way that uniquely bonds them forever and with heart-stopping finality that is totally heart-breaking.
Cara is the devoted mother of four-year-old Sophie, who is her summer, her sunshine and her whole world. They are a completely united unit and Cara would literally do anything to safeguard her daughter and make sure she grew up to be confident, surrounded by love and realise her dreams and ambitions. Sophie is a lovely little girl, feisty, loving and very well brought up. She is a real credit to her mother, wise despite her tender age and full of love.
Rebecca is a dedicated, talented and ambitious business woman. She is very happily married to Jack who is also a rising star in his office. They are a perfect match for each other and very much in love. They arrange their busy lifestyle perfectly complementing each other and their lives are spread out around them with promise of health, wealth and happiness. Life is good; they are so contented and full of hope for their mapped-out future together.
Then, late one bleak Friday evening their life together is served a real dynamite explosion of a curve-ball and in the blink of an eye and a ring of their doorbell chaos reigns down upon them and their lives are changed forever. There on the doorstep an unexpected visitor introduces herself to Rebecca as Cara and with her is a tired and shivering Sophie. This is their story and also the story of what happens next.
I read the publicity releases for this novel and I thought ‘Yes, that is definitely one I’d like to read and review’. I applied to NetGalley and publisher Bookouture and was delighted to be approved. Thank you for my copy. I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful, heart-warming and engaging novel. I want to shout out loud and proud to tell just how wonderful it is in so many different ways. This author has oodles of talent, but more than that she writes with her heart full of empathy, emotion, understanding and grace. Her characterisation is just spectacular, gently crafting her characters to be well rounded, decent and soon become dear to you like your own friends. I love the way Emma Robinson writes with such easy flair, making her characters so adorable and charismatic. What I loved most of all is how she writes about their points of view with honesty and compassion, balancing each character so perfectly. Her choice of themes is also compelling: motherhood, friendship, new beginnings and love, all family based issues relevant to modern society. It truly embodies the genre of Women’s fiction. This story is absolutely stunning, enjoyable and thought-provoking and I recommend it as a superb read..

Rebecca and Jack are a career driven couple who have decided not to have children. Many people tell they they will change their minds or regret it later, but they don't think they will. One night Cara, Jake's ex shows up with her four year old daughter. As the story unfolds they all will be thrown into a tough situation. I liked all of the characters and felt their joy and pain throughout the book. A heartbreaking tale that is also uplifting. Quite a range of emotions in this one.

Thanks to netgalley and Bookouture for the arc

You meet a new man and you feel the connection straight away. The relationship blossoms and than it's time to talk about that important subject : children yes or no?? Will he feel the same and can you ride together on his white horse into a happy ever after or does he run like the wind and leave you behind...?

Phew!! He sees you in his future and you couldn't be more happy. You are having a ball until one night, a simple thing like your doorbell ringing announces something that is about to change everything... for ever

In the beginning of the book I never thought that the author would take us down this path. Sinister can mean a lot of things but I never could have guessed what it could have been. 

A beautiful story involving quite some tears, but heartwarming at the same time. I honestly don't know how I would have coped when I would have found myself in Cara's shoes. 5 stars

Thank you, Emma Robinson and Bookouture

What a beautiful story that I expected to be left heartbroken but instead it ended up very uplifting. I'm not saying this story is t sad it truly is but it's also a story of hope and life of those left behind. I absolutely loved this and will definitely be reading more by this wonderful author

My Husband's Daughter (Emma Robinson) is one of those books that once you're into a few pages it is almost impossible to put down. Ms Robinson gives us the story in alternating voices and the reader soon falls in love with both of these women. My guess is at least once (if not more) the reader will find themselves with a few tears in their eyes. I want to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for an early copy to review.

My Husband's Daughter is an amazing story of love, compassion, and selflessness. The story grabs your attention right at the beginning and draws you in.

Rebecca and Jack, a young and successful married couple, career-driven, determined to spend their lives according to their wishes and desires, Having no children is something the two of them planned, but their whole perfect life is shattered when they discover that Jack has a child from his last relationship, one who he was not aware of.

The main characters are well described with considerable thought and insight and amazing in their own way as they learn to adapt and appreciate each other. A touching story that was emotional and heartwarming.

The plot is narrated from the alternating perspectives of Cara being the perfect mom, who wants the best for her daughter, and Rebecca, who though doesn’t want children but tries her best around Sophie. Thank you, Emma Robinson, for a wonderfully written story that didn't fail to tug at my heart.

Summary:
A wonderfully written book dealing with some difficult and sensitive issues. This book has been written so well that it simply draws you in right till the end.

The doorbell rings late one Friday evening and Rebecca opens the door to Jack’s ex Cara and her four year old daughter Sophie. She’s about to drop a bombshell that Sophie isn’t just her daughter but also Jack’s. Jack and Rebecca never wanted to be parents but Cara is hiding a devastating secret. Told from the points of view of Rebecca and Cara this book draws you in at an incredible pace. I liked all the main characters and found you could certainly create an affinity with them. Well written and I highly recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the chance to review.

This was another beautifully written book by Emma Robinson. This author has the ability to draw upon real life topics that others face and write about them in such a poignant and sensitive way and this book was no exception. I am still thinking about this book days after finishing and has left me with an enormous book hAngover. Once I had started to read it I couldn't put it down and each turn of the page evoked a myriad of emotions and feelings and pulled at my heartstrings. Am already eagerly a anticipating this author's next book as each one gets even better than the last.

I knew that I would love this book as soon as I read the summary, and I was not disappointed. I was, however, thrown for a loop about 1/4 of the way into the book when the story went down a road I did not see coming! I do not like to give away spoilers, but I will tell you that this novel pulls at your heartstrings and leaves you feeling a myriad of emotions. The writing itself is so easy and beautiful, but the characters are amazingly perfect and spot on realistic. I was completely captivated and did not want to stop reading. This is the first I have read by this author but it won’t be the last!
