Unprepared Daddy

Second Chance Babies #2

by Bella Winters

She can’t run away from me…she’s carrying my babies.
Serena, you’re mine and only mine.
I will bring you back…and make you beg.

My life was just so perfect.
Money, Fame, Women – you name it, I had it.
And yet something seemed missing.
Until Her…
Her delicious, curvy package was made for me.
She’s that sweet and spicy seduction…completely intoxicating – you could call her every man’s dream.
And yet, I was a jerk and let her go.
I was a bigger jerk thinking she would wait for me.
She says she doesn’t need me in her life now.
But one look into her luscious eyes and at that pregnant belly,
And I know…I will do all it takes to make her mine.

There is no cheating alright but the first chapter itself has a detailed scene of him having s** with his ex.
No thank you.
DNF.

[Aya]

Oh no... I fell again in this kind of book

And this time is in FIRTS CHAPTER!!!! the hero or should I called him in his name here BEN are already having a sex (before meeting the heroine) and its 2 women ofcourse! maria is there in scene and to tell the truth here or even im going to spoil you guys but this will be help to aviod to read this book. the heroine (Serena) does not know about that (what an idiot!)

At first ben doesn’t want kids and he suggest to serena to abort the babies.. (com’on! That is a red card to me!) and he choose his work than to serena and the babies too.

Did not mention of what happen to the ow like maria if she ruined again but she just immediately disappeared in that (just like poof!) what ben did does two woman,serena doesn’t know that until the ending of this book. (wow *eye roll)

The heroine is weak, cant stand her own self, cant even learn to her first mistake. i hate it!
The hero is manwhore, workaholic, he choose to be a**hole first (but to me he still like that). and i hate him

What is the good part here that I give it 1 star?. Cause its dual p.o.v. that’s all.

Not For Me

SPOILERS


I have to disagree with all the positive reviews, this book just wasn't for me. I was not a fan of the hero, at all. He falls in love with the heroine, finds out his business is starting to suffer and decides she is bad for him. She tells him she is pregnant and he flips out. She leaves him and he goes out and gets drunk and had a threesome. Great guy! She struggles to work to support having to raise twins and he continues to party and get drunk. It isn't clear if he continues to sleep around but he has already had a threesome so I assume so. She calls him when she goes into labour and things wrap up too nicely, there is no real groveling on his part. There is a sex scene between Ben and OW at the beginning that I didn't enjoy either. This was definitely not a good read for me.

Just downloaded this book tonight and read it all in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. I loved every page. Characters were well written and the plot was exciting. I definitely recommend this book!!

[SC]

This book ends at like the 14-16% mark I believe. It's ok. It's definitely not a book I would pay for so yay for Kindle Unlimited ! Oh where to start ...

For some reason, the author based the book out of the US, however, used a lot of terms not normally used here. For example - at one point the H decided he was going to talk trash about the h - yeah, I know, classy guy right - and he called her a "stubborn cow". Whatever, that's the least of the problems this book had. They meet at a bar, they have sex the second time they see each other, the following day, he asked her to move in, and did the super naive, idiot, has no sense of danger woman agree ? OF COURSE SHE DID ! Ugh, I really hate female characters that are written this way. Let's not forget the fact that he says he cares about the h, knows she's pregnant, yet still basically throws her out and goes on to have a threesome, yeah, the H is not much of a winner either.

The grammar is all over the place. The author apparently kept forgetting she wrote twin babies into the story because she kept going back to the baby, as in singular. So again, massive fails for her Beta & ARC readers and for her editor if she even has one. I seriously can not understand how people are giving it 5 stars. I mean do you overlook the typos, the bad grammar, the asshole characters, the stupid decisions ? I just can't.

DNF

The book starts off with outside of the relationship sex, so I had no interest in continuing to read what I thought would be a romance. It's completely disgusting to have to read through a sex scene between one main character and a character who he or she doesn't end up with. How is this a love story? I'm supposed to read him having sex with more than one person in the same book? I think not. Gross. Plus, I'm sick of books with manwhores who stop their wild ways and settle down. It got old a long time ago.

[Rita]

Serena Jones, is a small town girl trying to make it in the city, who gets a job as a shot girl at a club for rich men.

In comes Ben Katch, a handsome self-made business owner and self-proclaimed man-whore, for who settling down is not even on his radar, until he meets Serena.

Things move very fast between these two and due to circumstances, in no time Serena has moved in with Ben.

Everything is going great, until Ben finds his business performance isn’t what it was, freaking Ben out.

About to talk to Serena about slowing things down so he can get his work focus back, Serena drops the ‘baby bomb’ and he flips completely and kicks her out!

Serena is devastated, now no home, no money and a baby on the way, her best friend thousands of miles away, now working on a cruise ship, she has no idea what to do.

Was this all a pipe dream? Should she face reality and go back home with her tail between her legs?

Will Ben finally see what a mess he made of the situation, get his head out of his a$$ in time to be able to convince her to give him another try?

I really enjoyed this book, Mia Ford doesn’t disappoint.

I voluntarily Reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

[Jenny Harris]

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Ben and Serena. Ben is a man who is used to having it all without even needing to work for it. Serena is a woman who has had to work for what she wants. So when these two meet their is something there but they both know it can't go anywhere. When Serena ends up pregnaunt though and wants nothing to do with the playboy who was only out for a good time Ben knows that this is someone worth working for. Can they find common ground and have a HEA or will they crash and burn quicker than anything in either of their lives?

This is an amazing book about finding someone and fighting to make sure you get that happy ending. There are some twists and turns that I really want to tell you about but don't want to ruin the book for anyone else. I will say I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

[Theresa Campbell]

The book is ok if you like a basic romance with a baby story line. This just didn't do it for me. I feel like more is needed to build up the characters. There just isn't enough substance for an entire book. In addition, this needs to be edited better before it's published. I noticed errors and it's very distracting. I received an advance copy of this book from the author and this is my honest and voluntary review.

[Chem&Comp]

"My life was just so perfect. Money, Fame, Women" (WOMEN)..that is my clue, i hate H who dips penis around, cant stand them. Most of the author i read with this kind of heroes always write them in all of there works, thinking that playboy manwhore are the best H, so i tend to avoid this authors forever. Also it will make me remember those H if i read there works again.
For this one, it started on the book, i lost my respect to this character right there and there is no way for me to continue reading this.

[Amy Miller]

Serena and Ben hit if off immediately. The story was most definitely fast paced, but I found that I enjoyed that with this story. They meet and get together almost immediately. Then Ben has her moving in super fast, and then she becomes pregnant all in a blink of an eye. I thought these two made a terrific couple until Ben became an a-hole. In the end he redeemed himself but I wasn't to sure at first. This was most definitely a fantastic story. Can't wait for the next one!

[Patty]

Another great book by Bella Winters.

In this story Serena is a small town girl struggling to make it in the big city. When she gets a job at a bar as a shot girl she feels life can't get any lower. Uncomfortable in her skimpy uniform and old men pawing her she feels like yep can't get much worse. Then she meets Ben.

Ben is a handsome successful business man. But he is a playboy and has no intention of ever settling down. Till he meets Serena. He is so captured by her. When she finds out she will be homeless soon, he suggests her moving in with him. Things are moving fast and things are hot and heavy. That is till he gets news of his business not performing as well as it was.

Well Ben freaks out! When he talks to Serena about this and his plans to move slow, he is interrupted by her news of he is going to be a father. He flips out and kicks her out.

With no money, pregnant and no place to live Serena is devastated. Was this all a dream? She must take of the rose-colored glasses and face reality.

Will Ben ever get his life together and fix the mess he mad of it? Will he be able to convince her to give him another try?

I really enjoyed this love story. The characters were interesting and lovable. There were some oh no he didn't moments and moments when I wanted to hit him. But in the end I found him to be wonderful and loving.

This book was a page turner of emotion. Then story was relatable and easy to read. A hot steamy number that will have you thinking dirty thoughts. . An enjoyable love story

Bella Winters is a wonderful writer who can really bring an alpha male to his knees. Check out her many books. Each one is a hot steamy tale of romance and happily ever afters.

Ben ends up their for a business meeting and gets intrigued by the new shot girl, Serena, he likes her and wants to know more about, likewise Serena feels safe around Ben and likes the way he treats her.
I voluntarily reviewing an ARC of the book Everything happens fast, they fall for each other fast, they make love very soon, profess their love for each other when a major obstacle comes across their love life. But the speed they life goes, at a point Ben decides to take a step back at the same time Serena finds she is pregnant. The decision which Ben makes tear them apart and Serena had to leave abruptly, when Ben realises his mistakes it's too late for Serena to accept him back.
I loved Serena's character the best, though she is a small town girl, she is matured, loving, caring and strong enough to face the reality of her life. On the opposite, I wanted kill Ben for his action towards Serena, he was a complete playboy who loses his mind when he drinks, though he instantly falls for her, his later actions made him kinda a$$, until he makes things better. Other than the main leads, I loved, Iris, Ben's mother, Serena's friends Jenny, Tia and Serena's little brother Ethan.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book.
Ben is wealthy and a partying playboy who always puts work first. Serena is a dreamer still trying to figure her life out. The two meet and connect almost like a fairytale. However, Ben can't seem to commit fully with Serena, especially after she lets him know she's pregnant, and he ends up telling her she has to go. At this point you really can't help but loathe Ben while Serena heartbreakingly moves on. In the end he fights for what he thought he never wanted and well you have to read the book to get that answer. This book dives right in to the characters, establishing who they are and how they meet. It was an easy read that had me turning the pages just to read what would happen next. The emotional ride is almost exhausting but in a good way. You'll love and hate Ben at the same time and want to wrap Serena in a protective hug. Would recommend for those that love fairytale type stories but be forewarned, this one is not lighthearted.

[Judy]

This is a romance on a roller coaster about Serena and Ben. Serena comes from a small town and living in the city for some time never finding a successful job. Her roommate gets her a job at the bar where she works and Serena has a hard time with the skimpy outfit! The first night she meets Ben they have an unbelievable connection and they fall into an unusual relationship. Ben is one very wealthy businessman and he seeems to genuinely care about Serena which is new for him. Things between them move quickly and it’s beautiful to see how they move in and out of each day. Ben gets news that his company is having some financial issues and Serena finds out she is expecting. Things get heated really quick and Serena is on her own and Ben is miserable without her. I loved how strong willed and beautiful of a person Serena is and how her brother steps up for her. Serena even deals with her small minded parents with grace. Will Ben ever be the man Serena knows he can be or will she and her babies be better off without him? I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

Serena is struggling financially so she takes a job she normally wouldn't so she can make some quick cash and figure out what to do next.

He wants to get to know her but he's still not ready to settle down and be in a relationship. Serena isn't a one night stand kind of girl but she's willing to do just that to get close to Ben. After finding out she's pregnant with Ben's baby, Serena is in for some tough times because Ben won't change his ways for her or his child, so Serena walks away to start a new life as a single mother. Will Ben grow up and see exactly what he's losing by being an immature selfish jerk? Will Serena be able to support herself and raise a child on her own? A good story with likable characters, steamy times and a man who finally grows up and becomes a man worthy of his new little family.

[Laila Viking]

Very well written story with great storyline and plot. A sweet romance that I just had to read in one session. I liked this story a lot.

There is drama, passion, emotions, hot scenes and lots of chemistry in this amazing story. It is written in dual POV which gives the reader much more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. I like to hear what happens in the future so the last chapter/epilogue was welcomed.

I like the main characters and how they develop. Their chemistry is amazing. The story flows nicely and it is very captivating from first to last chapter. The author has delivered a story that is worth the read!

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Chaquera Mixon-Slayton]

I was so excited for the story because these kinds where the girl gets pregnant and the guy either doesnt know or is a douche and has to redeem himself.

This definitely fits the Trope. However, I feel that like there was a really missed opportunity here. When the h goes through her whole pregnancy pregnant with twins nonetheless with out the H cause he is an add I felt such pride in her for going through this by herself and like a boss without reaching out to him once.

Then it gets ruined when the minute she starts going through labor she makes her friend call him because she "needs him now" he didnt have to gravel nothing.

This was a missed opportunity for him to truly have to prove himself.

Thr overall idea was good. But the overall mark was missed.

[Karina]

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Absolutely loved this latest book by Bella Winters. Ben and Serena were hot from the start. Ben might have things he needed to work through but when it came to Serena he was all in. He was charming and caring. And when he realizes the mistake he has made in regards to her there is no stopping him from getting her back. This was a well written books and the characters had my attention from the start. Serena was a strong woman and was a great match for Ben. He may have freaked out about her news but he finds a way to make everything right again. Loved the story and the great HEA.

[M Hurford]

This is a very, very engaging and romantic story about Serena, shot girl and Ben, millionaire playboy. Their chemistry was hot from the start and moved on it quickly. But, when Serena becomes pregnant, Ben throws her out. I hated him at this point. So it was with great interest I wanted to see if Ben would grow up. In the meantime Serena was rejected by her parents so with the little money they threw at her to go away she begins her pregnancy by herself. How this is al resolved is amazing.
I highly recommend this book for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!

This is a good second chance at love story, we meet playboy Ben in a less than likable situation and Serena having a bad day at her temp job. Serena starts work being a shot girl and meets Ben, the chemistry between them is hot. Things start going wrong at work for Ben and decides to end it with Serena, at the same time she tells him she's pregnant. After leaving Ben when he says some pretty hurtful things and not having supportive parents, Serena has her brother and best friend for support.

Definitely give this book a read to see what happens, really sweet story.

[Shelly Celli]

An amazing read! Ben and Serena have a chemistry from the very beginning that they cannot deny, but he's very gunshy. When things get a bit too close to reality for him, he bails, but leaves her in the lurch in a bad way. Their time separated was very difficult for them bot, but he discovers things he never knew about himself and his late father that explains a lot about his life in the past. When Brandon and Rose come into the picture, things change dramatically again, but for the better. I loved this story and how they triumphed through their problems with a little time and effort. I'm voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

[Stephanie Corbett]

This was an interesting first and second chance at love book! It didn’t have lots of complex twists and turns, instead it was wholly focused on the characters, which were deep and colourful. Ben was an intriguing character, full of angst, contradiction and just slightly lost. Serena was waiting for something in her life, and really just directionless, but you saw her journey to finding herself.

I prefer something with a little more action or suspense, however this was still a very enjoyable read, and does not disappoint.

Unprepared Daddy is a book that had be feeling all kinds of emotions. This is a well written story with a great balance of happy feels, and unresolved conflict. The dynamics are hot right from the beginning between Ben and Serena, though they both seem to have doubts, they work. Until they don't. But the resolution and HEA are so worth any struggles the couple goes through. I am so glad I read this. Definitely get comfy, because you won't want to put this down until you have finished reading it...and maybe have some tissues nearby. ;-)

Serena works for an agency but every job has been temporary. Jenny her roommate and friend suggests she tries working where she does as the tips are really good.

He can see how out of place she seems - out of her depth. As he visits more regularly their friendship grow....... can anything come from it?

[Meghann Alford]

What another great book from Bella Winters! These two had an instant attraction, but as is true with so many men, Ben got scared and pushed Serealna away.

This was a good second chance romance. Serena is working as a shot girl when she meets Ben a successful business man and sparks fly. As Serena’s roommate is leaving town Serena needs a place to stay and Ben offers her to stay with him. Their relationship moves really fast and when Ben’s business begins to falter he wants to take a step back. When Serena learns she is pregnant she is shocked at the way Ben behaves and plans to do it on her own. Can Ben when her back? Great chemistry and a good story. I really liked it.

[Jennifer]

I loved this fast paced super sexy, yet sweet story. Ben and Serena have instant chemistry and quickly begin a seeing each other. Serena is falling hard for Ben and things seems mutual. Her world falls apart when she finds out she is pregnant and Ben loses his mind. He acts like a total jerk so Serena leaves him. After much back and forth, and some time apart, Ben realizes (with a big nudge form his mother) that he truly does love Serena and will do anything to be with her. This is such a well written story, I couldn't put it down!
