Expecting Her Ex's Baby
Tawny had grown up on the wrong side of the tracks and was used to never being enough to keep the attention of the people she loved most, so when she meets the drop-dead sexy wealthy owner of the diner she worked at for the first time and he suggests a strictly physical relationship between them, she takes him up on his proposition.
But when she finds herself pregnant with his child and tells him the truth, she doesn’t understand what went wrong or why he refuses to believe that the baby could possibly be his, immediately kicking her to the curb even after living together for nearly a year.
With no place to go and no one to turn to, Tawny embarks on what’s meant to be a new life, far away from the man she never should have allowed herself to fall in love with; determined to start over.
So, when Jeremy shows up on her doorstep, demanding the truth and making outrageous decisions for her life even though he’d made it perfectly clear that he wanted nothing to do with her or the baby she carried, Tawny is thrown for a loop. She’s afraid to trust Jeremy with her heart again after he crushed it the first time.
Was it possible that this baby could really change things between them, or was he only playing her just until the baby was born so he could abscond with the one and only person Tawny had ever expected to eventually love her enough to stick around? Only time would tell!

Plot:
Hero kicks out pregnant heroine because he thinks he is sterile. Absolutely NO, NADA, NYET evidence that he's sterile other than the fact his angelic dead wife never got pregnant.
This book made me snicker which I don’t think was the intended effect.
The evidence:
Holy crap! The hero sounds like Marie Barone with her sofa covered in plastic.
She’d hated that place. Everything was white and most of the furniture was covered in plastic. She had been scared to death to actually eat or drink anything anywhere but directly over the kitchen sink. Finally, she would be able to be herself for a change.
The pregnant heroine makes a dramatic exit out of town. She jumps a train like a Depression era hobo.
She looked up at the train that was heading towards her and shrugged her shoulders. Catching it wouldn’t be easy, but it would be a free ride to wherever the train stopped.
Girl, didn't you save ANY money while you were being a kept hussy and worked for the nincompoop?
She ends up like a Kristen Ashley boss-heroine in a small town in Tennessee where she revolutionizes the diner’s menu, befriends the simple townsfolk and solves World Peace. In a month.
The hero finds her after his mommy makes him get a motility test. Hey, it’s not at all creepy that she made him go and, I think, held his hand while they waited for the results.
The hero finds her and it’s all downhill from there.

I've been torturing myself reading books on the Heroine wrongly accused by Hero list. This is 86 on the list.

***TWO STARS***
I don't know what's wrong with me, I just can't catch a break on books lately. This story is definitely my kind of trope, but it just missed the mark. I love stories with heroine getting pregnant, and the Hero wrongly accusing her of cheating on him, and kicking her ass out. Those can be so great when written properly. This one had the potential to be all of that, but for me, it just wasn't. The reasoning behind the Jeremy thinking he couldn't have kids was moronic, since he'd never been diagnosed by a real doctor to give him that idea. He just imagined that he couldn't have them. Tawny leaving town to start a new life could have been so awesome, but everything just came together for her way too easily to be believable. There was no struggle for her, and even her sadness wasn't written in an angsty way that made me feel anything for her. The story just got cheesy and frustrating from there.

I waffled between 1-2 stars on this but went with 2.
The story had potential but is extremely simplistic. The grammar and punctuation are better than in most self-published books though.
