August 09, 2006: Two years ago Mac, a Navy SEAL, took Rachel?s virginity and they spent four weeks together. Then Mac dumped her and never looked back. It?s hard to believe a Navy SEAL would be so irresponsible and not realize birth control doesn?t always work. He knew he had devastated Rachel but cared so little that he didn?t bother to try to contact her to see if she was OK. If he had, he would have known about PJ. When Mac comes back to New Orleans to see a renowned surgeon (not to see Rachel) he looks her up while he?s there. Since he wouldn?t have come to NOLA except for the surgeon, its unlikely Rachel would have ever heard from him again & she is naturally suspicious of his motives. When Mac finds out they have a son he decides they should get married and runs out and buys a ring. He is so self involved that he feels she?ll jump at the chance to marry him. This is after he finds out about PJ, not before. Again, if it wasn?t for PJ it would be unlikely Mac would have wanted to marry Rachel since he didn?t even want to be with her two years ago. His reasons for getting married are that they care about each other (I care about Global Warming), the sex is good (what happens when the desire is not as frantic) and they have a child. Getting married to provide two parents is one of the worst possible reasons. Eventually one or both of the parents will become bitter and resentful, perhaps find someone else who they really love, and the child will suffer the most. I liked Rachel, Chloe and PJ. Usually by the end of the book the male lead redeems himself. This was an exception. Mac had no valid reason for what he?d done and he treated Rachel with little respect and honor. I liked Rachel, Chloe and PJ. But Mac needed to grow up.
