Expecting The Playboy's Baby (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I can't quite believe I'm giving one of my favourite authors three stars, well actually it's more like two and a half stars. Jennifer is the usual curvy heroine and Patrick the handsome alpha playboy hero. After these two connect at a party at Patrick's house he doesn't know anything about her other than her christian name, he's keen to find her. Unfortunately the upshot of their one time together results in Jennifer becoming pregnant. I thought I knew how the rest of the story would play out. To my utter disappointment Patrick midway through seemed to undergo a complete personality transplant becoming a right idiot, that all seemed to come out of nowhere with no rhyme or reason for it. After that the rest of the story was all over the place and I felt like I was reading about two different people. Overall this has to be my least favourite offering from this author. As always Sam Crescent delivers a great book with a alpha hero hard not to love. While attending a party her family expects her to attend Jennifer steps away to be alone for a few minutes and that's when she meets Patrick. Patrick is instantly attracted to Jennifer so he makes quick work of getting her to spend time with him. Jennifer knows immediately who Patrick is she also knows he rich, he's a playboy, and he's gorgeous, but Patrick seems different and while they talk Jennifer decides to give into his charms. A few weeks later it's becoming clear Jennifer is pregnant and she knows not only will her parents be furious but that this baby will be her responsibility. Patrick has looked for Jennifer and with only her first name has had no luck finding her till he see's her in the newspaper after an incident where she got sick in a restaurant. And because of this and being in the heat of the moment and not using protection he is sure this is a sign she's pregnant with his baby. Now with her last name he is able to find Jennifer and immediately goes and finds her. When he see's her his feelings are just as hot as when her first saw her and he talks Jennifer into getting to know each other better. Jennifer agree's to Patrick's suggestion of getting to know each other and then deciding what to do from there, the more time they spend with each other the closer they become. Till Patrick starts to pull away. Then the unthinkable happens. And Patrick will have to decide what he really wants and if he is willing to do what he needs to to get what he wants back. In all of Sam Crescent's books I know I will have an alpha hero, passion, conflict, and a great story and this story was just that. The beginning felt a little rushed and I wished we had gotten more but overall this was a great Sam Crescent novella, Just what I've come to expect from Mrs. Crescent.

Good story. Both Patrick and Jennifer grew to like each other first before love.
