Irresistible Bachelors book 8
I fancied an accidental pregnancy romance and thought I would give this a go. It’s a new to me author, but even though it’s book 8 in a series it’s easily read as a stand alone.
Both Rose and Nicolas have achieved great things career wise, but they feel their personal lives are lacking. Rose decides to use a sperm donor program to have a baby, but just before she starts, she meets super stud, Nic. Their one night of hot, hot passion results in an unexpected pregnancy, but Nic is a man who lives on the road.
If I’m honest, both Rose and Nic were a little on the dull side for my taste. While it’s sometimes nice to read a story where the characters have no trauma or messiness in their lives, I think I’ve developed a fondness for angst ridden individuals with deep emotional wounds. I suppose that’s what led to the lack in tension for me. The characters were so reasonable, and got on well from the start. It felt like there was no conflict that could ramp up the feels. The only thing that qualified as conflict was Nic’s issue with his career as he tried to work out how to continue with his job, versus being there for Rose and their baby.
This is a steady read with low to zero angst, and no heavy drama. The pace was a bit slow in places, and I skipped little bits because I didn’t feel they moved the plot along. However, what it lacks in tension it makes up for with heat. There’s some deliciously steamy, hot sex scenes throughout which kept me reading.
