I am surprised that there are no reviews on this story.  I understand that many don't want anyone but Miss Parker to be paired off with Jarod.  If other readers would just get pass the first few chapters, it is a very good story. 

Surprising MP is capable of loving someone else's child.  One thing, I love the way she kept her promise to Rachel and allowed her to hug her newborn even after she succumbed in child birth.  Tearful ending in chapter 4.

You wrote in a medical scare on women's health which dealt with breast cancer.  Done very well and you gave us a sense of feeling of what families must be going through when dealt with the crisis.

The church scene in the last chapter I thought the worst, the end of MP.  You surprised me, being that it was a wedding scene and not a funeral.

Lovely wedding vows and honeymoon.  Their son's birthday, you clearly see how happy the three were.  And you did not forget that besides celebrating the little boy's one year birthday, it was also one year of Rachel's demise.  It's good that you wrote in that scene.  Like you said, without Rachel, there would be no baby.

Sad, heartbreaking at times.  SHATTERED, made me cry.  Thank you for the happy ending.
