The most shocking story of all:
“I am going to have a baby.”

Following the sexiest time of her life with Leonardo Ravenino, journalist Emma Quinn is left mortified by his swift rejection. To let off steam, she writes a private, scandalous exposé on the tycoon…and is horrified when it’s accidentally published! Yet that’s nothing compared to the surprise that soon follows…

Leo’s enraged to see the woman who ruined his name on his doorstep. But once he discovers Emma’s pregnant, he knows what he has to do. Claiming his child will be easy. Trusting Emma and their palpable chemistry? Unimaginable!

 

Passionate and intense! FROM EXPOSE TO EXPECTING by Andie Brock quickly drew me in as a surprise baby turns the tide with this billionaire playboy. I enjoyed the characters and the plot was fairly fast paced with a few twists here and there.

Emma is easy to like and charming in a naive sort of way. She is a go-getter when it comes to kick-starting her career, but a few quirks led to some problems that could have been handled better.

Leonardo is broody and standoffish, but I liked him very much. Upon learning about his past it all becomes clear why he is the way he is and he’s very redeemable.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a surprise baby story with a hint of royalty in the background and endearing characters.

He runs an organization dedicated to pursuing justice for others,

but can he do the same for himself?

Someone is trying to destroy former chief of police Mason Ford, but he won’t go down without a fight. Neither will crime scene analyst Hannah Cantrell, who’s convinced he’s become a killer’s target and will do whatever it takes to help Mason survive. However, that doesn’t mean she’s ready to risk falling in love with him. Can Mason and Hannah discover the truth before a killer strikes again?

 

Attention grabbing from start to finish! With book four in her powerful Justice Seekers series Lena Diaz sweeps her reader into the story immediately and doesn’t waiver for a minute in DEADLY DOUBLE-CROSS. The pace is fast and intense and the characters are spell-binding. I loved every minute of it!

Mason is an electrifying character. Throughout the series we’ve known the head of the Justice Seekers had a back story, we just didn’t know how intense of a story it was going to be. He’s loyal to a fault and definitely won me over quickly.

Hannah is a fun character. Though she’s quickly thrust into the middle of Mason’s drama, she takes it well and lets her level-headedness lead the way as they go on the run.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a powerful bout of intrigue mixed in with a close-knit group of friends and co-workers as each one slowly falls for their forever love in the midst of danger.

He’d planned for everything…
Except becoming a father!

A life of hardship and crushing responsibility left billionaire Tsai Jun Li never wanting a child to suffer the same. He made sure he couldn’t have children. So when Ivy Lam, the woman he shared one mesmerizing encounter with, appears claiming she’s pregnant, he needs proof!

After a painful relationship, Ivy’s night with Jun Li was a magical fresh start. Now she’s preparing for unexpected motherhood…but she didn’t plan on being whisked away to Shanghai! Because it’s suddenly clear Jun Li won’t relinquish his claim…to his baby or to Ivy!

 

An unlikely connection sets the pages on fire! HER IMPOSSIBLE BABY BOMBSHELL by Dani Collins brings an unexpected surprise baby story like no other to life with challenging characters and heartfelt revelations. Fast paced and endearing.

Jun Li comes across as your typical broody billionaire at first, but beneath the surface lies a man with deep vulnerability and emotional scars. He was abrupt, but once he warmed up to Ivy, a new man emerged.

Ivy is easy to like and sympathize with, but left a bit of a mystery in parts.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a standoffish connection that ends up being a deep and meaningful happily ever after.
