For one night of my life, I dared to do something reckless.
My birthday. A bar. Karaoke. And a man so hot he could melt the sun.
Sparks flew. Lust took over.

For one night of my life, I felt alive.

Then I was back to my “boring” life. Career-driven. Goal-oriented. Always planning ahead.

But nothing could have prepared me for the positive pregnancy test. We weren’t that reckless.

There goes my “boring” life. And what happens when I tell the father?

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

 

A.M. Madden writes a lighthearted story about a one night stand that turns into an unexpected pregnancy. This is a fun and emotional story about two people who try to figure how to deal with the idea of becoming parents. Even though everything is a tangled mess, the two main characters, Max and Jade find it impossible to fight their strong attraction to each other. I liked Max and Jade; they work well together and have a lot of chemistry flowing between them.

 

Jade is a hardworking attorney. In fact, she is so dedicated, she has no social life.  Her main goal is to become a partner in her law firm. However, her perspective on life slowly changes after she learns she is pregnant.  

 

Max is a great guy and he falls hard for Jade. Max’s life is complicated and it is entertaining as he tries to juggle everything going on. I especially loved all his entertaining encounters with his two triplet brothers. They love to give each other a hard time, but also have each other’s backs when needed. This is a well written story with realistic and likable characters and entertaining secondary characters, as well.
