Publisher Description
First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes baby in a baby carriage. Just not necessarily in that order. . . .
Braxton: I should probably be dead or in jail right now. Instead, thanks to some tough love, I worked my ass off and now I own a string of tattoo parlors throughout the Pacific Northwest. And yet the one thing I’ve always wanted—a family—still seems out of reach. When my best friend gets married, I’m just hoping to blow off some steam with the super-hot maid of honor. But after Cara Thompson tracks me down to tell me she’s pregnant, she’s more surprised than I am when I tell her I’m all in.
Cara: For the first time in my life, I’m living for myself—not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And what’s the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god, Braxton Henley seems way too eager to “be there for me.” Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he won’t back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one night stand might’ve led me to the one.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cara Thompson's first ever one-night stand with the best man at her best friend's wedding results in an unexpected pregnancy and an unlikely love affair in Lynn's sweet but slight second Crazy Love contemporary (after Fake Wife). Cara recently cut ties with her wealthy, controlling parents and is trying to build a career as an independent artist, but she knows she wants to keep the baby. She tracks down the father, Braxton a heavily tattooed guy from the wrong side of town and is shocked when he supports her decision and turns out to be well-off. Braxton's tumultuous upbringing was only mitigated by a father-figure neighbor, and he's eager to have a real family of his own. The pair bond through the pregnancy, working through Cara's "nine-month trip to Hormonal Crazy Town" and terrible nausea, and enter into a tentative romantic relationship, but both are hesitant to reveal the depth of their feelings for fear of being hurt. This slim romance is, at its heart, a story about what makes a family.
Customer Reviews
4 Tattooed stars for an accidental baby romance.
Knocked Up is book 2 in the ‘Crazy Love’ series by
Stacey Lynn. It features Cara Thompson and Braxton Henley, the best friends of Dan and Jenna, the main characters from Fake Wife, the first book in the series. After a one night stand following Dan and Jenna’s wedding, Cara, leaves Braxton’s bed thinking that
will be it.
Six weeks later and she’s left with more than a regretful
memory. She’s been knocked up and she’s all alone. She knows she can’t raise her baby by herself. It’s time to contact the dad.
Braxton wasn’t ever expecting to see Cara again, but
when she tells him her news he’s stunned, but more than willing to step up to the plate. He had felt a connection to Cara during their one night together and had hoped to continue seeing her, now he’s getting the chance. He just needs to make Cara see how
good they can be together.
Cara had the hots for Braxton from the moment she set
eyes on him weeks ago, but thought it was just the emotions from the wedding. Now, she has to decide if she can see a future with the tatted hottie who’d starred in all he nightly dreams.
This
was a fun, quick read and I really liked it. I’d have liked some of the loose ends to have been tied up, but all in all, another lovely, satisfying read from Stacey Lynn.
Too dragged out
The last drama issue is seriously silly to say. heroine from strong person suddenly become an childish and whiny which in my eyes shes the one whos guilty but no sorries been exchaned. Did not like the end at all
