MAN of the Month
"If you're pregnant, we're getting married!"
Flint Paradise, CEO and surprised father-to-be
After a single night of passion put Ashlinn Carey in the family way, millionaire businessman Flint Paradise acquired a very stubborn, pregnant bride. Ashlinn made it clear that unless his shotgun vows included loving and cherishing their baby, it wouldn't be a warm, willing wife he'd come home to. But the rugged loner didn't know the first thing about loving anyone. And with the sexiest woman he'd ever seen expecting his child, Flint wasn't about to wait nine months to start learning .
Some men are made for lovin'and you'll love our MAN OF THE MONTH!

About the author
Barbara Boswell
122 books45 followersBarbara Schroeder was born on 28 October 1946 in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, USA. She worked as nurse, before she married William P. Boswell, a attorney, and they had three daughters.
She has been a longtime romance novel fan, becoming hooked on the romances by Harlequin back in the mid-‘70s when she was home with her three small daughters. When the youngest reached school age in 1983, she wanted something to do with her extra time. She thought about going back to nursing, but didn't care to deal with hospital shifts. She'd often made up stories in her head and/or continued the stories that she'd read, so it seemed like a fun idea to try to write a story of her own. It took a lot more effort and organization than the loosely strung-together scenes she'd run through her mind, but she was right about the fun part! She enjoyed the whole process and wrote a story that she knew she would enjoy reading. She sent it off and was thrilled when it was accepted! It was even more exciting to see her name on the book cover. Some 50-plus books later, it's still a thrill to see her name on the book and it's still fun to make up stories — at least most of the time!
Barbara gets her ideas from everywhere but especially from reading, which she loves to do. Sometimes, just a sentence in a newspaper or a magazine will spark an idea to develop into a romance. Other times, she'll be inspired by another romance novel and she will try to put her own spin on a favorite old plot. Barbara believes that we all have our preferences — she's always been partial to the "secret baby" story line. That, plus the "marriage of convenience" and class or family conflicts are some of her particular favorites.
Her three daughters are all grown up now, and she and her husband are the proud grandparents of a beautiful little grandson. They also have three cats who seem to think that they are the rulers of their house. They are terribly spoiled, and they just might be right.

I don't mind bantering in books, but too much of it and all negative involving jumping to conclusions annoy me.
The heroine is not happy with her new boss and has to go on an adventure trip with five men. She is a career city girl who is not much of a romantic and even advised her sister's against their marriage.
The hero is the CEO of his company and the serious twin, totally committed to his job. He is surprised to find she is a woman since he expected a man, but she seems determined to do the job she is assigned since she doesn't want to be unemployed.
On the last day they sleep together, both misinterpreting things and parting for six weeks, missing each other. She is preggers thinks he doesn't want kids, acts like a shrew, he suggests marriage and after some dragging she agrees.
She likes her new life but doesn't tell him she loves him and neither does he. They tell each other HEA.
I would describe this book as boring actually, I love some books by her but this one is not the best.

"Forever Flint" is the story of Ashlinn and Flint.
Basically our h is a journalist, and she is sent on a trip to write about the H's company- where he accompanies her. Sparks fly, and they resist- ultimately ending in a lake-sex-scenario- but as usual our cynical H does a very foot in the mouth thing and they go there separate ways.
One month later, both are pining- until the H's mischievous sisters send him to the h's city, where he tracks and sexes her again- only to realize there is a bun in the oven. Then he coerces/force marries her, and suddenly we have mild drama and HEA.
The blurb of the book was misleading, and the story very rushed. We did not get a lot of chance to explore/fall for the characters in this one- and while this series has been all about pregnancy- this book has been my least favorite one. Both the h and H were unlikable, especially the H as he got his way, had too many misconceptions and come off as entitled and overbearing until the very end. The h starts off as strong but is steamrolled midway through the book. There is lots more happening but Im bored with my own review, especially after this book.
Meh

Tras una noche de pasión, Ashlinn Carey quedó embarazada, y el millonario Flint Paradise no dudó en casarse con ella.
Pero Ashlinn dejó claro que, a menos que sus votos incluyeran el amor por ella y por el bebé, no encontraría una esposa cálida y dispuesta cuando regresara a casa.
Pero el solitario Flint no sabía nada sobre el amor. Y teniendo a su lado a la mujer más sexy que había conocido nunca, no estaba dispuesto a aplazar el comienzo de su aprendizaje durante nueve meses...
