A Texas-size pregnancy surprise!
Cecelia Morgan needs to take her business to the next level, and decorating the new luxury resort in Royal, Texas, is just the ticket. But at the meeting to pitch her designs, she comes face-to-face with Deacon Chase, her former flame from the wrong side of the tracks who grew up to be a billionaire hotelier. Turns out he's the silent partner in this project. Their chemistry is off the charts. Too bad she's spoken for.
But when the blackmailer terrorizing the Texas Cattleman's Club targets Cecelia, revealing a past secret that ruins her present engagement, she turns to Deacon for comfortโฆonly to soon be expecting!
The ultimate in reunited love! I didn’t think it was possible for me to like Cecelia after how mean and uptight she and her “mean girl clique” were in a previous book in the series, but Andrea Laurence performed a miracle and made her likable! Not only did I understand her attitude, but I even pulled for her to win her guy. ย Great characters, a sweet reunion and a happily-ever-after with all the feels!
Cecelia Morgan is crossing her fingers that the expansion she wants to happen with her successful business will work out. She’s putting her all into this presentation to decorate the new luxury hotel in Royal, Texas, The Bellamy Hotel. When she walks into the meeting to present her bid, she’s sure she’s about to be laughed out of the room though, when she finds out the silent partner in the hotel is none other than the high school boyfriend she dumped years ago.
Billionaire Deacon Chase has come a long way from when he was the boy from the wrong-side of town dating the rich, popular girl in school. He dearly loved her, and even though it’s been many years and he’s had a good life since, he’s never forgotten her or the future they had planned together. When the blackmailer targeting the Texas Cattleman’s Club sets their sights on Cecelia, will he be able to help rescue her from becoming the talk of the town?
Does this book read as standalone?(as the main character already appeared in the previous book)
Great review! ๐
Yes, you can read and enjoy it equally without having read the previous ones in the series. You recognize some of the characters if you have read the other ones, but there is generous background given to catch you up if you haven’t. ๐
