Book Description:
The night that changed everything!
Waitress Darcy Penn is the smart, sensible type—flirting with the extremely cute guy in the bar just isn't her usual style. As for ending up in his hotel room?
Definitely not! Sneaking out while he's in the bathroom to avoid the post-sex awkwardness? Much more like it….
If Darcy had stuck around, Jeff Norton could have told her about their "epic latex fail." So he shouldn't be quite so shocked when months later, Darcy turns up at his classy L.A. office and throws up in his wastepaper basket.
She's got a bad case of morning sickness, and she's here to find out what he's going to do about it!
Mira
Lyn Kelly is seriously working her way into my heart with these adorable quick
reads. I just recently finished Waking Up
Married and adored it! So, when I saw Waking
Up Pregnant I knew I needed to read it. And I wasn’t wrong. Waking Up Pregnant was such a sweet
story and I loved that it was about Conner’s best friend Jeff. It was nice to
learn more about the guy who knocked some sense into Conner.
I
really enjoyed seeing the parallels between the two books and realizing that
Jeff’s encounter with Darcy happened the very same night Conner met Megan.
Darcy, a waitress in Vegas caught Jeff’s attention while he was waiting on
Conner and after a night of fun and passion Darcy takes off never knowing that
their one night would turn into anything more.
I
love that Darcy didn’t just up and
move in the beginning like Jeff wanted her too. She took her independence
seriously because of how she grew up (her Mother’s endless parade of husbands
walking in and out) but ultimately she wound up moving when she got really sick
and fainted one night while at work.
Jeff
swooped in, saved the day, and moved her in with his Mother since she refused
to stay with him. I don’t think my love for Gail (Jeff’s Mother) can ever be
expressed with words. She is probably the most awesome supporting character
ever. The woman made me laugh out loud several times. There’s also a really
funny twist with Gail that I got a kick out of, but won’t ruin.
Jeff
and Conner have that whole possessive thing in common, so there were some parts
where I wanted to slap him upside his head, but a lot less than Conner because
there was a certain level of emotion Jeff possessed that was absent in Conner
at first. I enjoyed the differences in their characters and the way he was so
attentive to Darcy.
The
plot itself was sweet and just long enough to give me the happily ever after I
was looking for. I really do enjoy these well-written quick reads. I’d
definitely recommend Waking Up Pregnant to
anyone who has a hankering for sexy and sweet romance stories.
