3.5 stars - It was just supposed to be a night of unbridled fun. Turns out, a lot more came from the night Beck and Rhona met, including Victor and a hunger that no-one else can make Beck feel. I liked this book, the first in a new series. It was entertaining and over-the-top with quite a steamy finish.
H and h had a one night stand and the h sneaks out in the middle of the night. Two years go by and h is raising her son who was a product of that night. She didn’t know his name and couldn’t contact him. I don’t think she would have even if she did have his name. H has been looking for h for two years with no success. He hired several PIs who also had no luck. He finally sees her at an event she is working as a photographer. She flees and he is going to have his assistant contact the company she works for and get her information. He knew after their first night that she was a photographer working the event he was attending. I don’t know why he didn’t contact the company then. Even if he didn’t have her name a good PI should have been able to find her knowing that company she worked for. h wasn’t my favourite. I understand being nervous and a little reluctant about introducing your child to a man you barely know but he was the father and had a right to know. She was a little hostile.
H dated around before h but stopped after meeting h. h was a virgin before she met the H. Both were celibate during their separation.
Rhonda and Beck spend a night together... no names no numbers. Rhonda leaves the next morning without weaking Beck. Bit Beck just can't forget this woman.... he searches high and low. Now two years later they met by chance... and Beck won't let her slip through his fingers again. Little does he know that she has a secret, everything changes for them after that. Insta love, sweet, romantic with a sweet HEA and a tiny bit of drama😍😍😍 😉
It was an unforgettable night for the two of them but she left without leaving any way to contact her and she didn't know his name. Fast forward ahead two years and they meet again. He has wanted her for two years and even hired a PI to find her. She has a secret she is hiding and is reluctant to share it with him. Rhona has a bit of baggage and does not want to rely on a man. I loved her independent streak and need to be self sufficient but was glad when she let her walls down and gave things a chance. It took a leap of faith for her to trust Beck and move forward. Beck knew what he wanted and the fact he was forthright with his intentions was refreshing. The two together were electric and lit up the page. The epilogue was ten years later and we get a view into how their HEA is unfolding. Victor at the end was quite the cool kid and I adored him.

Erin Havoc has written a 5-star book. This is the story of Rhona and Beck. Rhona and Beck had a one-night stand. They didn't give each other their names or phone numbers. The next morning, Rhona sneaks out and leaves. Rhona ends up pregnant but she can't let Beck know since she has no way to get in touch with him. Beck spends the next two years looking for the woman he can't forget. He is at a party for his mother and for the first time since Rhona, there is a woman he is interested in. It is the photographer. He hasn't felt that way since Rhona. When she turns around he is looking at the woman he can't forget and he is not letting her get away again. After the photo is taken, she turns to leave. He goes after her and when he catches her, he tries to talk to her. She tells him that she didn't want a relationship then and she still didn't want one now. She asks him to just leave her alone. He asks her to just give him her name since he doesn't know it. He gives her his name also. After she leaves, he calls his assistant and gets the ball rolling on finding out about Rhona. He finds out the building she works in is one that he owns. He goes to see her and when he walks in, Rhona thinks it is the receptionist, Fran. When she looks up it is Beck. She asks: "What are you doing here?" He tells her that after she left two years before, he tried to find her because he wanted to see her again. She again tells him that she is not interested in a relationship and tells him to just leave her alone. He gets her in the elevator alone and kisses her. Beck asks her to go to dinner with him and after the kiss, she agrees to meet him at the restaurant. When she gets to the restaurant, the hostess looks at her like she doesn't belong there. Rhona doesn't get the chance to tell her who she is there to meet. The hostess takes her to Beck's table. Beck only has eyes for her. The waitress tries to grab his attention but she fails. Beck tells Rhona again that after she left, he tried to find her and that she is the only one he wants. She feels it is all too much and she needs a little space. She goes to the restroom and when she gets back, she sees he has her phone. He had gotten her a new phone since hers had a cracked screen. He was going to transfer all her information onto the new one. He saw a picture of Victor. He asks "Is he mine?" She tells him that she doesn't want anything from him and that they are doing just fine and walks away from him after telling him to leave her alone. Rhona is dropping Victor off at her mother's so that she can go to work. When she walks in, it's not her mother that she sees but Beck. She wants to know why he is there. He tells her that the job she needed to go to was a ruse make by him to get her to talk to him. Beck tells her that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and their son. She tells Beck that Victor is his son's name and asked: "Do you want to hold him?" Beck takes him and Rhona is surprised since Victor doesn't take to strangers. He looks up at Beck like he knows that Beck is his father. Will Rhona let the hurt from the past go and allow Beck into her heart? Will Beck get the ending that he wants? This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

BEST. NIGHT. EVER. It ends at the stroke of midnight but there is the best gift ever to come.
Dirty Mistake is the first book in the new Alpha Billionaire Obsession series. This story is about Rhona and Louis "Beck" Becker. Rhona is a professional photographer working for an agency in NYC who takes pictures of events and private sittings. She is out for an evening with her girl friends, maybe having a bit too much to drink, when the most handsome and sexy man she has seen locks eyes with her and literally sweeps her off her feet. They end up back at his place and burn up the sheets together. She leaves in the middle of the night, as the fairy tale is going to end, without leaving a trace of herself behind, so no name, no number and definitely no panties. But she does leave with something unexpected that she finds out about several weeks later. As they did not exchange numbers she has no way of contacting him and becomes a single mother. Beck is a self made billionaire who has worked hard to get where he is. One night he was out and locked eyes with a beautiful and curvy woman who spoke to his soul who he knew was the one for him. They ended up back at his place for the night but when he woke up in the morning she was gone. He never knew her name or number but for the last two years he has had PI looking for her. He has not wanted any other woman, including the one's his mother keeps trying to foist on him as she wants grandchildren and it is time as he is forty. Two years later Rhona is starting back to work. Her son, Victor, is the light of her life and this is going to be hard but she knows she needs to work to provide for him and his future. Luckily she has her mother to help and be supportive. Her first job back is to be a photographer at an event for the rich and powerful in the city. What she was not expecting was to come eye to eye with Victor's father. Beck is just as surprised and he knows he is not going to let her get away from him again....as she has once again awoken the beast inside him who longs for her forever. The question now is whether Rhona tells Beck about Victor and if he finds out what will he do or want. After all Rhona is positive she does not want Beck's money if he is not going to be in Victor's life.
This is a charming and light-hearted story with a lot of naughty smexy passion. I liked the characters but you have to suspend belief that Beck would not be able to find Rhona as he was so obsessed with her. I do have one issue as the book needs a visit with a good proofreader. There are a lot of errors which killed the flow of the story and were annoying. I have found this happens with some stories by Erin but they are still an entertaining read and this is also.
Dirty Mistake is a quickly read instalust story. I was somewhat entertained but I did not find this story very romantic because the hero's obsession with the heroine seems a tad unhealthy. Some of the language was a little clumsy or a bit too flowery. Rhona and Beck had a mutually satisfying one night stand that ends with her sneaking out of his home. It's not clear to me why, but they never told each other their names or other identifying details. The condom broke and there is a baby. She tells herself that she couldn't let him know about the baby because she didn't know his name or phone number but this seems like excuses. She knew where he lived and she could have left him a message or met him there.
He spends two years thinking about this one night stand who never even told him her name and ran away in the morning, convinced that she ruined him for all other women because he liked the magical things she did with her mouth. They meet again, she tells him to go away and informs him several times that she doesn't want a relationship, but he won't take no for an answer because she turns him on and he is convinced it's a sign that she belongs to him. In the abstract, I liked the plot idea of this hot dude being totally mesmerized by the woman he met two years ago, but in practice his possessiveness went a little too far for my tastes. He keeps popping up in places that she works or lives at, gets jealous of a waiter and goes through her bag and phone without permission, finding out about the child. It's a good thing for Beck that he is her one true love because otherwise she'd be looking into restraining orders. When they have sex he destroys her dress because he can. Zippers, who knows how they work?

Louis Becker (“Beck”) has a one-night-stand with Rhona who leaves the next morning without exchanging names or contact information. Beck can't stop thinking of her (and her skills) and hires a PI to look for her, but without any real identification details, there is no way to find her. After 2 years later, they come across each other again at a party where Rhona is the photographer, and Beck is determined that this time, he will not let her go.
After Rhona’s perfect night with the kind stranger, she left him without a word and later found that she was pregnant. She has a son, but makes no effort to contact the father. She knew where he lived at least, so that was an option she chose to ignore. When they reconnect, he pushes to start dating. Again, she doesn’t tell him about their son so that he won’t think she is after his money. (I will insert here that I strongly feel a woman should tell the father he has a child; he may be a deadbeat, but he should be informed, even though the pregnancy had been a birth control malfunction and not intentional.)
This happy little story of reconnection does not sit well with me. Both characters continue to make mistakes. Rhona’s reasons for keeping silent were weak. Beck’s stalkerish, clinging behavior made my skin crawl. His actions would have made me want to run for the hills. He was too over-the-top and I felt his obsession overshadowing rather than real romance.
Are you debating whether or not to read (Dirty Mistake: A Secret Baby) Did you see the title and alternate between a hum-drum "not another (alpha billionaire) book" and an excited "ooohh, another alpha billionaire book!" ... Let me set your mind at ease. Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with! This is book is part of the Alpha Billionaire Obsession series why just read one when you can start at the beginning and keep reading through the series it won’t be a waste of time. Rhona intelligent, had an amazing night a few years ago with a caring, kind, and considerate man but left before he woke no names or numbers. Beck sexy as all get out billionaire, spent one amazing night with the most beautiful women, to only wake and she is gone. After searching for her and hiring a PI to find her still coming up empty doom to think he will never find her. Fast forward Rhona working as a photographer at a part and runs into Beck …what a surprise but will she tell him about her surprise (their baby boy) the chemistry is insanely intense years later and the magnetic pull can’t be ignored this time around especially with fate controlling things. So, when he asked her out will she agree to go out with him, will she tell him about her baby boy, will he be upset with her, will he forgive her from keeping the truth away from him and can they grab on to the second chance at happiness?
Rhona spent a perfect night with a sting, kind, and considerate stranger 2 years ago but left the next morning before he was awake and they never exchanged names. Rhona now has a 1 year old son and has returned to photography and sees Beck, 40, at a party where she is working. Beck is a billionaire and tells her that he tried to find her and even hired a PI but could never find her. Beck tries to get Rhona to date him and she finally agrees but doesn’t tell him about their son because she doesn’t want him to think that she is after his money. How will Beck react when he finds out that she did not tell him about their son when they were now dating?
I give this story 4.5 stars. I enjoyed this short story where strangers reconnect about 2 years later and Beck doesn’t know that he has a son. Rhona is scared to tell Beck because she doesn’t want him to think that she is only interested in his money and doesn’t want an absentee father that only provides money, not love and support. The epilogue was a great ending for their story.

This book brings us Rhonda and Beck. They met and had an unforgettable one night stand, with Rhonda leaving before Beck woke up. However, Rhonda finds out she is pregnant and has no idea who to contact Beck, as they gave each other very little information about each other. They both can't forget about each other, (Rhonda for her child) and Beck has searched high and low for her. Unexpectedly, they meet at a party, as she is now a photographer, but she doesn't want anything to do with him. Beck find out information about her, and turns up at her job, and asks her to dinner, where she feels so out of place, that she doesn't belong in his world. She leaves to get some air, and Beck finds a picture of her son, and instantly realizes the similarities and when she returns, he asks her if that is his son. Beck will do anything to get them back into his life, and when he holds his son for the first time, my heart melted. This was a fantastic read and I highly recommend it. I did receive an arc for an honest review.

'Dirty Mistake' by Erin Havoc is the first book in her new series Alpha Billionaire Obsession and tells the story between Rhona and Beck who enjoy a steamy, hot, passionate night together then Rhona leaves in the morning before Beck is awake. Beck was disappointed because he thought they had really made a connection and wanted to explore a relationship with....what was her name? He hires a private investigator to try to track down his elusive date. Two years later Beck and Rhona run into each other at a function and he is determined to keep her this time. However, he doesn't know about the delivery Rhona received from him that night.
Ms. Havoc writes a very engaging story with likable characters that are in turn funny, sweet, annoying, and always steamy. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one in the series. I recommend it to anyone who likes a quick but satisfying read.

I really liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable although I had several questions that I didn't feel were answered. The characters were interesting and likable. Rhona walked away from Beck because it was supposed to be one night. Why was she supposed to be a ghost? Why was Rhona unwilling to start a relationship? Why was she so adamant about not starting a relationship even after their time apart? Why aren't dreams made for girls like Rhona? There wasn't anything in the story that I saw that answered those questions. Beck was positive that Rhona was his one and had searched for her. When they were accidentally reunited, he decided that he wasn't going to let her slip away again. They definitely had chemistry together. I loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book. Maybe you won't have as many questions as I did!

An unlikely encounter that will turn to so-o-o much more. Rhona sees a man who has peaked her interest. Beck is interested and pursues the dynamic attraction to this woman. Rhona agrees to one night of passion without names. Rhona leaves without any fanfare in the morning and returns to her life working as a photographer. Rhona is driven, bold, feisty and curvy. Both of the characters have good memories of the night that they shared. Beck felt an overwhelming attraction to this woman. He had to find her. She was his forever. He was determined to find her - how will he do that? Will he find her? Can he convince her of his love? Will they both find love? The story is filled with drama, conflict, passion, lust, and love. Really enjoyable, entertaining and with a whole lot of steam. A crazy good read!

Rhona had the best night of her life with a man she did not know his name, but he left a little of himself behind, his son, She did not want to find him, she is content on her own.
Beck's mother wants to set him up with every single woman she knows, he is not interested. He wants the girl he has no idea what her name was, she disappeared like a thief in the night. He is obsessed with finding her or he will remain alone. She is the photographer at the party he is at, he cannot let her go.
This alpha male will not let her get away this time, he will use any means necessary for a second chance with Rhona. The chemistry between the two is off the charts hot but that was never the issue

Dirty Mistake? Nope! This is a yummy, well-written, well-paced quick read. I love how Beck and Rhona learn about love. Beck's emotional journey goes through his determination to find the one woman he knows will complete him, and to never stop looking for her. Rhona's emotional journey says a lot about her preconceived notions of wealth and what she deserves as a woman. Seeing both navigate their own way to understanding love and life is a joy. The secondary characters are excellent. I got a lot of laughs from a few of them. Rhona's work as a photographer is particularly intriguing as a backdrop for the overall novel. This was a terrific read and I was smiling all the way.

One night of passion, two years of longing, chance meeting leads to a life time. Rhona left the night after being with a handsome stranger, no contact information is what she wanted. Two years later when at a job, Beck found who he was looking for and Rhona want to hold on to her secret just a bit longer.
Dirty Mistake is a hot and steamy story for finding love and proving she is the only one he wanted. Beck did what he could to find the women he shared a night with, only to have fate put her in his path years later. Now he needed to prove that she was what he wanted.
Great fast read that will have you needing a moment to yourself.

First things first; I like the cover of this book! Dirty mistake is the first book in the ‘’alpha billionaire obsession’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Beck and Rhona had one night together without sharing names. Two years later and Beck is still determined to find his mystery woman. When he finally does find her will she give him a chance? The chemistry between Beck and Rhona is clear to see and I liked them together. I liked the ending and the epilogue for this story. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.
After one hot night of passion Rhona finds herself with a child. Victor is two and is the product of one night with a no name no number stranger. Beck has searched for Rhona for two years with no luck because how do you find someone that you don't know their name. This book has a lot of push from Rhona's side, but what she doesn’t understand is that Beck is just as hell bent on getting her in his life forever. Will Beck win and get his HEA? This is another great book by Erin and I highly recommend this book.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the story of Beck and Rhona. They met and had a one night stand and never even exchanged names. Rhona found herself pregnant and was now the single mother to a baby boy. Rhona was a photographer and had recently returned to work when she met Beck again. Beck never forgot Rhona and tried to find her, and now he isn't going to let her go. Rhona is still attracted to Beck, but she never told him about the baby and worries he won't want to be a father. I enjoyed this book. I liked Beck, he was so sure Rhona was the one for him. I like that Beck tried to find her and was going to win her over. This was a good, quick read.
I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Short, fast paced, second chance romance. Rhona and Beck have a one night stand that results in an unplanned pregnancy. They did not exchange information that night but she knew where he lived. She was never far from his mind and he searched for her. She will deny her feelings and their connection thru most of the story. He is going to do whatever it takes to make her see how they could have a future together. It was probably not one of my favorites but it was a good short story.

I liked Beck and Rhona's story. One amazing night between then ended up with Rhona becoming pregnant. Beck searched for her for two years before she came back into his life unexpectedly. He's determine never to let her go. You can feel the chemistry between them in how Erin Havoc writes the story. It make the story very entertaining and enjoyable. Rhona's attitude toward Beck in the beginning does come off a little annoying, but it doesn't take away from the story. And she becomes better as the story moves along. Good read!

Beck and Rhona had a one night and for two years they have only thought of each other. One big problem - no contact info or names were exchanged. Even PIs he hired could not find her. Then at a party his mother was giving, he sees her as the photographer and the stage is set. The characters are heartwarming and full of emotions. The storyline is well written with drama, baby news, a little chasing and a lot of romance. Loved the way the three came together with her mother present. Wonderful story of love, hope and memories made real again.

Rhona is a photographer on assignment. She had a one night stand that leaves her with more than she bargained for. She had slunk off not leaving her name or phone number. When she found out she was pregnant she kept it a secret as she did not want just someone who paid money but did not care about her son. She goes back to work and meets the dad again at another assignment. What will happen? Will she tell him? He has not forgotten about her and does not want to let her go now that he has found her again. What will happen? Intriguing love story with a HEA.

Dirty Mistake is the first book in Erin Havoc Alpha Billionaire Obsession series. In this second-chance romance, readers meet Rhona and Beck. They had a one-night stand two years ago and then she disappeared like a puff of smoke. Destiny brings them together when she is hired to conduct a photo shoot for one of his events. What happens when Beck learns of Rhona’s secret?
I find Ms. Havoc’s writing style easy to follow. I appreciate her skill at using dialog, both conversational and internal monologues, descriptive language and dual POVs to make this storyline enjoyable. Nicely done, Ms. Havoc.
The connection between Rhona and Beck was clear and believable, Beck came across as such a lovely person and so sure about how things should work out. I didn't always completely understand Rhona's thoughts and action and would have liked a little more about her past to help me with that. I'm pleased that Beck stuck to his guns and went after his dream and I enjoyed how things worked out for them as I thought they suited each other well.

By the pool. Wonderful story. Beck has been looking for Rhona for two years, he just can’t forget her, he doesn’t want any other woman.

She didn’t want a relationship back then and still doesn’t. But, Beck refuses to leave her alone. Will he run the other way when he finds out they have a son? Have your photo taken and mingle to find out.

Good quick read. Rhona & Beck have one night together, she leaves before he can get her number, but also with a permanent reminder of the night! Their paths cross a few years later. He’s never forgotten her and has been trying to find her since their night together. He knows that she’s the only one for him and sets out to prove it to her. Enjoyed this, feel it had the potential to be expanded into a longer book. Loved the epilogue.
