Book Blurb:
Florist Claire Holbrook has always played
by the rules her entire life, but breaks them to spend one night with sexy lone
wolf Jake Manning, a man she's adored since she was a teenager. Six weeks
later, things get complicated when she discovers they created a bond that will
last a lifetime
Jake has never played by the rules.
Getting Minister Holbrook's daughter pregnant wasn't part of any life plan, but
he won't run from his responsibilities. He'll step up and be the best man he
can, even if he doesn't have a clue where to begin. The more time he spends
with Claire, though, the more he wants her, and the harder it is to get close,
because that would mean sharing the one thing he hasn't with anyone--the truth
and his heart.

My Review
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I normally do not finish books in one day. What can I say? This was an exception. I received this as an ARC and had not read the first in the series. I was concerned that perhaps I shouldn't dive into a book that is a sequel, but this is a stand alone story. Each book plays on the other, but each one is a different brother's story and are chronological in nature.
I devoured the story of Jake and Claire. From the prologue I was sucked in. I had to make myself not jump to the end of each page because I was anxious to see what happened next. Buy this story! You will not regret it!
Claire has a one night stand with the man of her dreams and wakes up to find him gone. Ok, so her heart was broken, but she can recover right? Wrong! She discovers she is pregnant and must tell her crush from high school that he is going to be a father. Claire owns her own business and her own home. Pregnancy was not in the cards for her at this time. She is a planner and this is unfamiliar territory.
Jake, to the casual observer, is a bad boy. He isn't one to settle down and runs from confrontations. Take the one night stand with Claire, for example. He had wanted her for quite some time, but she was too good for him. A one night stand should not have happened. She deserved better and her father certainly wouldn't approve. Jake tries to shake his desires for Claire by leaving town on business and not contacting her. Little did he know that the night they shared would change his life.
Jake must prove to Claire that his feelings for her are not because of the baby. But before they can move forward, they both must confront their own problems. Their story is one of past trials, self discovery, and love.
