A good read, the plot was standard but enjoyable, all the characters were likeable and fairly well developed, and there were no annoying clich辿s or unnecessary drama. It's not something I'd care to read more than once, but I'm glad I read it. And the guy was an actual decent human being, and not a massive a-hole playboy like most Harlequin titles, so that's a huge plus! More guys like him please!

Rather formulaic and the two main leads are the ones who cause the problems they go through. The misunderstanding which led the female lead to reject the male lead after their one-night stand could have easily been resolved by them talking it out properly. Similarly, right when everyone is going perfectly for the two, the man has to ruin it, with only daddy issues as an excuse (and one which makes ZERO sense in context), and the woman (who btw has been basically a doormat the whole story, despite her frequent assertions that she won't let the guy have his way all the time) can only walk away, then, months later, listen to his sob story and take him back immediately. The only good part is after the preview, where the tone shifts to light-hearted comedy, and the two are hilariously childish. Everything after is downhill from there. Still, it's not terrible and you might find it an enjoyable enough timewaster.

The plot isn't too incredible, but where this story shines is its characters. The lead girl has managed to remain strong and kind despite the misery she's been put through all her life. She's no meek wallflower like so many others in this genre, she stands up for herself when others try to put her down, yet acknowledges her faults and tries to make up for her mistakes. She does get a bit too emotional later on, but considering her stressful circumstances and the fact she's heavily pregnant by that point (the title kinda gives that away), it's understandable. And that's my main praise for this story: everyone is relatable and fairly realistic. There are no "bad" people, only "people" who do bad things sometimes. The lead guy might come off as your typical cold, pushy rich jerk at first, but you soon get to see his hidden depths and his reasons for being the way he is. He makes mistakes, learns from them and tries to and be better. So I'd definitely recommend this story!
