Expecting her rival's baby!
Driven businesswoman Eve Winchester has big plans to take
her father's Chicago real estate empire global. But when she ends up pregnant
by her family's personal and professional nemesis, she's thrown into the shark
tank of corporate intrigue. Now she's doing damage control as she falls even
deeper for Graham Newport.
Graham has never had such a heated, secret fling. But
suddenly Eve is pregnant, and no strings attached turns into the ties that
bind. Graham won't turn his back on what's his, but will family friction tear
apart their fledgling affair?
Good book. From the first book in the series to this one,
the attraction between Eve and Graham has been obvious. The problem is that
their two families have been enemies for years, making a relationship between
them difficult. Graham is a lawyer who is excellent at what he does. He also
has no desire for any kind of permanent relationships in his life, though
mutually satisfying affairs are just fine with him. Eve is a driven
businesswoman who has taken over her dying father's real estate empire. She is
smart, beautiful and focused on her career. A relationship with Graham is not a
smart thing on her part.
Whatever it is that is burning between them can't be
denied, and they give in to the heat. Because of their families' enmity, both
have been warned to stay away from each other, but they can't do it. The
moments they steal together are hot, passionate, and never enough. Keeping
their secret is vital, but fate has other plans. Eve ends up pregnant and they
have to make some decisions.
I loved the progress of their relationship. Though Graham
is shocked at her news, he knows that he wants to be an involved father. I
loved how protective he gets, and how his attitude changes from thinking of it
as an affair. He finds himself thinking of something more, which freaks him out
because he has never considered that with anyone else. He's still resisting the
idea that he's in love with her, but knows he wants to marry her. He convinces
himself that it is for the baby. Eve is quicker to realize her feelings, but
the obstacles in their way seem insurmountable. She also has worries about the
pregnancy itself. When they get a chance to go away together, it doesn't go
quite as either had hoped. I ached for them both as they dealt with what
happened. I loved Graham's big moment at the end, as he put everything on the
line for her.
The family drama is still there, as Graham and Brooks try
to find out the truth about their father. I liked the relationship between the
two of them, as they support each other in the search. There's also tension as Graham's
relationship with Eve becomes more obvious. I also liked the changes I'm seeing
in Eve's father, as he appears to be making an effort to repair his
relationship with his daughters. His reaction to Graham's appearance at the end
was a surprise.
