Publisher Description
It was supposed to be one night to feel alive after getting out of a dud of a relationship. Now I’m having a baby, and I only have the soon-to-be dad’s first name.
After my breakup, I need to find a job and place to live, but I can’t move into the house my grandma left me unless I’m married. Fortunately, the guy renting the place doesn’t know that, so I stop by and find out if he can move at the end of his lease.
Only when the door opens, it’s him. My one-night stand. I do the only reasonable thing possible. I tell him we’re going to have a baby and promptly puke over the railing of the porch. Next thing I know, I’m on his couch, and he’s demanding a paternity test.
Except he doesn’t just want the test. He wants to make sure I don’t tamper with the results. He doesn’t believe me. Apparently showing up jobless and homeless to persuade him to move doesn’t make me trustworthy. Guess I’m not the only one with a dating history that leaves me jaded.
He insists I stay in the house that should be mine, right where he can monitor me. And the longer I’m around him, the more I can see that below his gruff exterior is a softie who planted acres of pumpkins for his cousin. A guy who wants to reconnect with his family. A man who makes me want to be more to him than violet promises.

Disappointing
Seems like the “gd” word was a favorite throughout this book. It wouldn’t have been bad to have left that word out entirely. I got sick of Violet bellyache and whine like a teenager instead of a chemist that she was! Some parts were good, especially the family healing, but not my favorite by any means.
Ok
I enjoyed the first half of the book but the other half was filled with Violet’s annoying insecurities and whining. That got tedious and made me go from liking her to wanting the book to end. This is my first book from this author but not in a hurry to read another one.
