Unexpected Complication

by Amy Knupp

This is not how she pictured her life

Pregnant, single and no prospect for love. How's a globe-trotting freelance photographer like Carey Langford supposed to cope? Well, love will just have to wait while she focuses on her baby and getting through this pregnancy alone.

But not completely alone. Thank God for Devin Colyer, her best friend since high school.

And Devin's really trying to be there for Carey. In fact, he just might be falling in love with his good buddy. If only he could get past the fact that she's gotten herself pregnant by the man he hates most in the world.

I didn't actually choose this book, I got it in a bargain bag at the thirft store. It started off well. How could you not like an opening sentence of, "There was nothing dignified about peeing on a stick"?

But I quit after the heroine, who can barely pay her bills as it is, refuses any financial support from the baby's father because she's too proud to accept it. I am utterly sick of this theme. You don't want the humilation of asking for money (which is due you as child support--it's his kid too!) fine. But you don't make your child suffer for your pride. I would have been okay with it if the heroine had been financially secure, but she wasn't.

This was an eBook copy of a Harlequin...an expected ending to the story of a young woman who finds herself pregnant with a disinterested man's child. He doesn't want to be involved. The love of her life is, of course, related to the father of the child. Further, Devin didn't like his cousin Jerod before, but likes him even less afterwards. But Carey persists on having the baby; Devin learns the importance of relationship; Jerod (the father of the baby) signs away his parental rights and leaves, and it ends happily for all--baby, Carey, and Devin. A nice easy read...probably a bit unrealistic, but then it is a Harlequin romance.

For this book it was very predictable, but a likeable predictable.

Really loved this novel, especially the angst at the end, it was pretty great to read. It definitely fed my pregnancy novel addiction.

Not worth reading. Flat characters.
