Wow, very moving. Makes me want more. Great six! :)
Oh that poor baby! How does his aunt find him? More please!
*sniff* I'm worried about this baby now! Although since it's a romance, I know it'll be fine. Great opening.
Great intro! (I assume we're in the hero's POV?). Nice intro to him, as well. This sounds like an awesome story, can't wait to read more!
Nice set up!
I'm gonna cry. What an emotionally good hook!
Beautiful setup. But is abandoned the right word, if the baby was born into the accident?
makes my heart hurt for this infant!! Interesting opening :)
Awww, the poor baby - great opening, pulled me right in. Terrific six, can't wait to read more.
Been a long day trying to get everything done before going back to work tomorrow. Thanks to all who have stopped by! Love the remarks! I may keep this opening.
Yanked me right into the story. As an aunt, I can imagine getting that call. Terrifying and compelling. I am very much looking forward to reading more of this!
Yes, this opening just yanks you into the story and twists your heart. Can't wait to read more of this!
Poor little guy. That's a rough way to start life.
