Carol Marinelli

The tag-line said she was successful, but she really wasn't.  She was supporting herself as a waitress while hoping her art career took off.  But it didn't.  The only thing she was successful at was having a one night stand with a rich man and getting pregnant out of it.

He was a wonderful angst filled character.

Made me want to cry at times, out of a sense of loss.  They lost their relationship seven years ago when he believed some lies his brother said out of desperation.  Now his brother dies of cancer leaving the heroine pregnant.  The hero can't get past the idea that his woman is pregnant with his brother's child.  He accepts it though.  Then she reveals that the brother was gay, the pregnancy was invitro fertilization with the aim to save his life.  There is intense passion between the couple, even though she's seven to eight months pregnant, he's more attracted to her than any other woman.  It's intense. 

Rating: 4/5 stars, I absolutely LOATHE books that make me cry.  The fact that I loved this book tells you a lot about how well done it was, how well written. 

Cute and passionate.  Virgin heroine, dominant and proud male, they get married not out of blackmail but convenience, with the appropriate amount of tension.  She finds out she's pregnant and gets scared of what it means for their uncertain future.  She thinks he's having an affair with his ex-lover who works for him and is his friend's wife.  She almost loses their baby but yay, it turns out to be her appendix, not an ectopic pregnancy.  Good resolution to their issues. 

Rating: 4/5 stars, an enjoyable read.

One of the Expecting stories. I liked the twist near the end!!! I liked the wedding/non-wedding/wedding. I thought Levander was an interesting character in that he really did not want to show emotion, but couldn't help it. Millie was an interesting character also. Wish she could have had revenge on Janey though - that would have been fun!
