My Review: 3.75ā
Oh the Green Eyed Devil with his sexy forearms! I am usually not a fan of pregnancy being the main focus of my reads (I am prefer it in the epilogue), but Luke was so attentive and thoughtful, in his own way, to Cleo and Bee, that it made me like this one. It was sort of a slow burn, but it all came together nicely in the end.
I love that although this story is primarily about Cleo and Luke, the whole crew from False Start is heavily involved. I felt like I was seeing my old friends again and I hope Ms. Ryan creates a story for each of them.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Book Blurb: Release date – December 12, 2021
They say few things in life are more painful than childbirth.
In fact, off the top of my head I can only think of one thing that might come closeā¦
Telling Luke Havrill, the Green Eyed Devil, that I was pregnant with his child definitely had to be more painful than childbirthāor at least it seemed that way in the moment.
It might not have been so bad if we had actually liked each other, but from the first night we met Luke had judged me like a book with a bad coverāTo him I was a high maintenance, superficial supermodel.
And I had judged him right backāTo me he was a rude, emotionless, calculating businessman.
We were opposites in every way, but despite our mutual dislike for one another, we somehow couldnāt stop ourselves from falling into bed together…and now that our bed was made, we needed to lie in it.
We had nine months to figure out how to be civil to each otherāthat was our first priority.
What wasnāt a priorityāfalling back into bed together…too bad that was the easiest thing to accomplish.
But I could have handled all that…I had been in that situation before, after all.
What I couldnāt handleāstarting to fall for the Green Eyed Devil in other ways.
But how could I not start to fall for the man who spent countless hours helping me put together baby furniture…
The man who went out of his way to bring me sweet treatsā¦
The man who made an effort to satisfy all of my cravingsā¦
No! Falling for him was not an option. I was taking a hard pass…
