In spite of hating the secret-baby trope, this wasn't a bad book until the end when the the hero has a sudden personality transplant. Through the entire book, he refuses to share his thoughts out loud. Through the entire book, he believes he doesn't have anything to offer the heroine and that, in spite of admitting to himself repeatedly how much he wants her, he can't believe she wants him. This even though she's made it pretty damn plain in so many ways. At the end, he has an epiphany. Totally unmotivated. He also suddenly becomes a chatty Cathy and explains his though processes to the heroine. It's romance's version of the villain, believing there is no way for the hero to be rescued, explains himself so the reader can understand how clever the writer...er, I mean, the villain has been. A totally artificial and unsatisfying means of reaching the prescribed ending. Blah.
