One-night stand + two percent condom failure rate = happily ever after?
Bar owner Kevin Kowalski is used to women throwing their phone numbers at him, but lately he's more interested in finding a woman to settle down with. A woman like Beth Hansen. If only their first meeting hadn't gone so badly...
Beth's tending bar at a wedding when she comes face-to-face with a tuxedo-clad man she never thought she'd see again. She tries to keep her distance from Kevin but, by last call, she can't say no to his too-blue eyes or the invitation back to his room. Then she slips out before breakfast without leaving a note and, despite their precautions, she's pregnant.
Kevin quickly warms to the idea of being a dad and to seeing where things go with Beth. After all, he's not the player she thinks he is. But she's not ready for a relationship and, given his reputation, it's going to take a lot to convince her to go on a second date with the father of her child...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Stacey's latest Kowalskis contemporary (after Exclusively Yours) is as spicy and insubstantial as popcorn laced with cayenne. When down-to-earth Beth Hansen and player Kevin Kowalski have a one-night stand, an unexpected pregnancy results. As they try to figure out how to raise a child while not being a couple, fiercely independent Beth feels strangled by Kevin's overprotective he-man ways. Kevin would love to be not only a father but Beth's main guy, and convincing her he'd be a great family man takes up the bulk of the plot. Their unlikely initial attraction feels like a rushed device to get to the pregnancy premise, and Beth's dogged rejection of Kevin quickly begins to grate. Buoying the story is a secondary romance that's more interesting than that of the main characters, and strong, funny writing fills the plot holes.
