A one-night stand becomes much, much more in this sexy, lighthearted romance.
Maid of honor Kelsey Peterson is disappointed when the bride-to-be bails on her bachelorette party—especially since Kelsey’s already ordered the stripper. Desperate for a break from her romantic woes, Kelsey goes through with the party. After all, why let a good stripper go to waste?
Dr. Aaron Baucus is definitely not a stripper. He’s a legit doctor with a PhD in neuropsychology. But when his friend calls him over to a bar to meet a bunch of tipsy, flirtatious bridesmaids, they assume otherwise. After all, their stripper was supposed to be dressed like a doctor. Aaron isn’t much for pretending, but with Kelsey, he’s willing to be whatever she wants him to be. At least for one night.
But fate has a wicked sense of humor: Aaron and Kelsey are the maid of honor and best man at the same wedding. And after their one-night stand, Kelsey’s pregnant, but she doesn’t know how to tell him. Aaron wants to start a relationship, but he doesn’t think Kelsey wants something long term. Can their fragile romance survive all the half truths and secrecy?
The Secret Baby by Leddy Harper was such a funny surprise romance book that I couldn’t put down. Although, it’s fairly obvious what you’re getting from this book, I still had a blast reading it.
Surprise pregnancy romance novels are basically my crack and I wasn’t sure what to read, but I knew that The Secret Baby would hit just the spot for me, and it did not disappoint! Sure there were parts that were frustrating, but I completely understood where Kelsey, the heroine, came from for the most part.
The balance of humor and angst from the unplanned baby was done perfectly. And honestly my heart hurt for both Aaron and Kelsey because of different things and when you get pregnant on a one night stand gah! Things can get so stinking complicated!
I had tears in my eyes, while reading from not one, but two grand gestures. Kelsey and Aaron had a roller coaster ride of a relationship, but I enjoyed every single second of it, even when my heart was breaking. If you love the secret baby and surprise pregnancy trope I highly recommend The Secret Baby!
