Knocked Up

So good...5 stars! Knocked Up is another winner for Stacey Lynn. Cara and Braxton lock eyes at their best friends, Jenna and Dan’s wedding. One night of passion results in a bit of a bump. Well, baby bump and six weeks later Cara confronts Braxton about the unexpected news. Braxton Henley is tattooed, muscled, and handsome who grew up poor. Though he may look dark and menacing, and absolutely delicious, he has a big generous heart. The owner of his own tattoo parlor, MadInk, Braxton knows all too well that women look to him for sexual excitement, and not the real man he is. He thought Cara might be the passionate woman he was looking for on the one night they shared, but a miscommunication separates them. Cara Thompson never expected to see Braxton again. But she does the right thing sharing the news. Now that she’s left her rich, judgemental parents, Cara promised her twin to finally live for herself. I love how Cara and Braxton come together and work through the hurdles. I loved every word which made this story such an enjoyable read. It has a wonderful blend of conflict, great characters, steam, and romance. All in all, Knocked Up is a heartwarming romance with a sigh-worthy ending. I received an advance reader copy from Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed this book.

4 Tattooed stars for an accidental baby romance. Knocked Up is book 2 in the ‘Crazy Love’ series by Stacey Lynn. It features Cara Thompson and Braxton Henley, the best friends of Dan and Jenna, the main characters from Fake Wife, the first book in the series. After a one night stand following Dan and Jenna’s wedding, Cara, leaves Braxton’s bed thinking that will be it. Six weeks later and she’s left with more than a regretful memory. She’s been knocked up and she’s all alone. She knows she can’t raise her baby by herself. It’s time to contact the dad. Braxton wasn’t ever expecting to see Cara again, but when she tells him her news he’s stunned, but more than willing to step up to the plate. He had felt a connection to Cara during their one night together and had hoped to continue seeing her, now he’s getting the chance. He just needs to make Cara see how good they can be together. Cara had the hots for Braxton from the moment she set eyes on him weeks ago, but thought it was just the emotions from the wedding. Now, she has to decide if she can see a future with the tatted hottie who’d starred in all he nightly dreams. This was a fun, quick read and I really liked it. I’d have liked some of the loose ends to have been tied up, but all in all, another lovely, satisfying read from Stacey Lynn.

Book 2 in the Crazy Love Series and what a great series this it’s shaping up to be. Cara and Braxton met at their best friends wedding in book 1 and what should have been a night of passion with no strings attached turns into so much more when Cara finds herself pregnant after a one night stand and to make matters worse she had sneaked out in the middle of the night without even a goodbye. Braxton is ready to step up and do what is needed but Cara is not so sure so what follows is a lot of old fashioned wooing. Will Cara except her future is with the hot tattooed Braxton....... I really enjoyed this fun flirty quick read, it had just the right amount of passion mixed in with just a tiny amount of angst, if you love a easy to read romance that isn’t too complicated this will be right up your street. Can’t wat for the next instalment in the Crazy Love Series.
