Un Bonheur à Saisir (Horizon) (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
I loved the strong characters in this story. Sylvie Smith is an events planner and one of her school friends uses her for her upcoming wedding to self-made billionaire Tom McFarlane. A cliché and wedding planner’s worst nightmare occurs when the bride-to-be runs off with Sylvie’s assistant. This leaves Sylvie to explain, and recoup the cancellation costs, from the groom-to-be who has a huge chip on his shoulder. Unfortunately for Sylvie, she had an instant attraction to Tom McFarlane. When she is called to his office to go over the bill item-by-item, it is sheer torture for her. One thing leads to another and their attraction combusts resulting in a magical encounter. Their brief encounter results in a growing new life for Sylvie. She is thrilled with the thought of having a baby, but how will tom feel about it and how to tell him? A wonderful story with a fast-paced plot that keeps you turning the pages to see what happens next and if they will find their HEA. The Bride’s Baby, by Liz Fielding, was one of those free Harlequin romances I snagged. It’s about Sylvie, an events planner who has to pretend to be a bride for a magazine spread about dream weddings. Meanwhile, she’s five months pregnant by Tom, a man she had a quick affair with and cares deeply about but who doesn’t know he’s the father. Tom has grown very angry as he doesn’t realize that Sylvie’s magazine spread is only a fake dream wedding and he thinks she’s really getting married to someone else. Sound convoluted? Yeah, it kind of was. I was also frustrated by all the missed opportunities for Tom to learn the truth. It had had a lot of British slang too which is not always my favorite. It was okay for a free read and to pass the time with, but I wouldn’t highly recommend it. I rate it 2/5.

Cuman dapat garis besarnya aja, tapi ga bisa memahami jalan ceritanya. Kalimatnya bikin bingung.

I couldn't finish this book because I found it too boring to read. There.

More of a miscommunication than a secret baby romance.
