The (Secret) Baby

4 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

"A one-night stand becomes much, much more in this sexy, lighthearted romance. Maid of honor Kelsey Peterson is disappointed when the bride-to-be bails on her bachelorette party--especially since Kelsey's already ordered the stripper. Desperate for a break from her romantic woes, Kelsey goes through with the party. After all, why let a good stripper go to waste? Dr. Aaron Baucus is definitely not a stripper. He's a legit doctor with a PhD in neuropsychology. But when his friend calls him over to a bar to meet a bunch of tipsy, flirtatious bridesmaids, they assume otherwise. After all, their stripper was supposed to be dressed like a doctor. Aaron isn't much for pretending, but with Kelsey, he's willing to be whatever she wants him to be. At least for one night. But fate has a wicked sense of humor: Aaron and Kelsey are the maid of honor and best man at the same wedding. And after their one-night stand, Kelsey's pregnant, but she doesn't know how to tell him. Aaron wants to start a relationship, but he doesn't think Kelsey wants something long term. Can their fragile romance survive all the half truths and secrecy?"--Amazon.com

★★★★☆

This is more of a 4.5 star read. Kelsey just wanted one night where she could pretend or be someone else. She pretended to be the bride-to-be when the real one couldn't be at the bachelorette party. She thought she was getting a stripper but someone else came in. Aaron is a doctor and his friend asked him to come to the bar she worked at but didn't tell him why. Once he got there she said someone was looking for a doctor but not that kind of doctor. This is how they met. Kelsey shouldn't hate all men because of one bad one. Not all men are the same. I hated the no names thing because if it was that good of a night why wouldn't you want a repeat. I'm all for pretending but you can pretend and still know who the person is. The rehearsal dinner was great. The other dinner was eventful. It wrapped up perfectly. I really enjoyed this.
