Very sweet story about a rich banker and a poor innocent woman who is a waitress but dreams of becoming an interior designer. Its your typical PresentVery sweet story about a rich banker and a poor innocent woman who is a waitress but dreams of becoming an interior designer. Its your typical Presents story, they spend one night together, she finds out she is pregnant and they get married for the sake of their baby. Holly falls for him but she is afraid Vito is still in love with his glamorous ex fiance and how can she plain Holly ever measure up?
Both hero and heroine are loving warm people and you will adore them both! Hero may be a tycoon but he is not a jerk or a womanizer. I cant wait for Pixie's and Apollo's story! They both seem super feisty so that book will be intense!
Edit to add that I will change my rating to 5 stars because I can't stop thinking about this cute couple!

Gotta love a Scottish hero! Both hero and heroine were broken and I could totally relate to hero and his demons. He had to stop letting tragedy defineGotta love a Scottish hero! Both hero and heroine were broken and I could totally relate to hero and his demons. He had to stop letting tragedy define who he was and he did it! Loved the unplanned pregnancy, loved their marriage of convenience and most importantly I loved the author’s message : love is bigger than fear ♥️♥️♥️
Safety info: virginal heroine, hero is her first everything. Hero was a playboy but celibate after meeting the heroine. No cheating, no love triangle! Short but cute and adorable epilogue with their baby girl!

Hero is looking for a contract wife, he wants no emotions, no children just an arranged marriage.

I have to say that it is a long time since I enjoyed a romance book so much. Should you wish to buy it, be prepared for not being able to put it down until the very last page. The emotional roller coaster journey between hero and heroine is absolutely thrilling. Loved the crazy angst and the alpha sometimes even cruel hero so much! Sebastiano was so arrogant and sure of himself. He just couldn't, wouldn't believe the baby was his! I know I'm a weirdo but I love it when heroes treat my heroines badly because I love a good grovel! Michelle Smart is now the queen of Harlequin Presents as far as I'm concerned!

I liked that hero and heroine didn't fall in love super fast. At first they had an affair, a friends with benefits situation but they soon developed deep feelings. Hero is a sexy single dad who doesn't do commitment but Ann changes everything for him. Cute epilogue with his daughter and their new born baby.
Safety: hero is experienced, heroine is a virgin, no other man, other woman causes some drama but hero is totally faithful.

Steamy and passionate! Finally an author who gave me a true alpha hero. Arrogant, cold and sexy as hell! I can’t blame heroine for not being able to resist him! Heroine was innocent but her banter with the hero was so funny. Secret child is a nice trope but in the hands of SK it became an epic love story! Couldn’t put this book down! More alpha men like Kostandin please…..
