Synopsis:

First comes love.
Then comes marriage.
Then comes a—

Hold up. You’re joking right? As if life works off a neat little list like that, moving down, checking things off before jumping to the next task. We’re not married. We’re not lovers. Hell, we’re hardly even friends. Noah Wilson isn’t exactly “life partner” material, and he sure as hell isn’t “father material”. He’s my older brother’s best friend, and has been off limits, sworn off, locked in the highest tower and out of reach since we met over ten years ago. With his devilish good looks, tattoos, motorcycle, and trail of broken hearts and tears, I’ve had good reason to stay away from the bad boy my mother warned me about.

Until one night. One stupid, regrettable night that changed both of our lives forever. And now I only have nine months to decide our fate, to see if Noah’s rebel heart is capable of anything more than a one night stand.

This isn’t a love story. This is a life story. And life doesn’t go according to plan.

Review:

Noah has had a crush on Lauren since he first laid eyes on her- but she was his best friend's younger sister- which meant she was off limits. It didn't matter anyway, since she couldn't possibly like him, right?
Lauren left a bad date, and ended up at the bar that Noah was helping at. A few drinks, and a one night stand with non-other than Noah was just what she needed. That is, until the pregnancy tests come back positive. This can't be happening. Lauren practically had her whole life planned out- and a baby wasn't in the cards yet- especially with a one-night stand, who is known for his bad boy reputation.
Can Noah step up to the task of being better, not only for the girl he's always wanted, but for his child,and face his fears? Or is history doomed to repeat itself?
I really liked this story. I liked how it wasn't a typical love story, with everything neatly laid out, because life doesn't happen that way. It was sweet, and I liked Noah's character, & related to Lauren in a few different ways. I give this story 4⭐ out of 5⭐.
