3.5 stars -- I always appreciate Ms. Rice's writing...she has great humour and her characters tend to be easy to love (which is not always easy in Presents books). And that was mostly true in this one too, Tess was a spitfire and Nate was deliciously adorable...even their tendency to combust in both arguing and passion was fabulous. I got a bit tired of their "issues" by the end of the book...but that might have been me not being as patient as usual. I will say I completely forgot about Eva and Nick's story and spent bits of the book wanting to go back and reread to remind...I have terrible long term memory. On the other hand, I sincerely hope that Zane is next in getting a book....and that he and Nate get some resolution. Tasty tasty.... I wasn't sure about this one at first and I liked the second half a lot more than the first. I wasn't crazy about Tess in the beginning. I wasn't sure what she expected from Nate. I think showing up weeks after a one night stand, saying your pregnant and it's his and expecting the guy to not be suspicious or disbelieving is a bit much. I think she was unfair to him after he wrapped his head around it and decided he wanted to be involved as well. One thing I really liked about the second half and the end was that both characters admitted their mistakes but also admitted they would "try" to avoid them again. Falling in love doesn't turn you into some sort of saint and I liked that Tess admitted she overreacts and Nate that he runs away when things get too emotional. I liked that they both said they'd try not to act in those ways but probably still would sometimes. It was a more realistic ending for me than other romances where suddenly everyone's personality flaws are cured by wuv. I'll be on the lookout for Zane's story and want to go back and read the previous books in this series as well.
Not the type of book I usually read, but this title was hard to pass up.
