Surrender to Love (1Night Stand Book 86)

To view it, click here. I almost skipped this book because of a spoiler I read from a poster from the Community Reviews. I won't name the reviewer as she has the right to her opinions and a right to share these opinions with others. But if my GR friends want to read her review, please email me and I'll get the info to you. I am a lazy reviewer. I have a hard time putting my thoughts to words. I just want to move on to the next book on my tbr shelf. Did I mention I am a lazy reviewer? Well I had to speak up because I feel I almost skipped this book because of a spoiler I read from a poster from the Community Reviews.

Well I had to speak up because I feel the reviewer exaggerated what really happened. Yes the H hooked up with the OW a few times. It was a neighbor with benefits type of hook up. I didn't feel the sex was descriptive. And it was less than a page. But it was unreasonable to think the H would not be in sexual situations with other women. To be clear he never had a relationship with the h. Yes he met her when he was 16 and h was 15 in high school. It is mentioned he fell in love with her. But no one knew. And really, it was more like a crush at first sight.

He spoke a few words to her and then found out she was his new friend's younger sister. He decided to stay far away from her as not to risk his friendship with her brother. A friendship he really needed and wanted in this particular time in his life. I collapse next to her when we're done, and she rolls over, running her fingers through my hair like she did the last time we fucked.

Melody moved in across the hall three months ago, and we've hooked up several times. It's been a good arrangement. She makes up some excuse to come over Or against the large, floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. Through the whole book I was afraid the detailed sex with OW would appear. I was expecting angst, but the OW appears 2 more times and H makes it clear he is in a relationship with h. He never hooks up with anyone after his ONS with the h. It was 8 weeks til he saw her again and in all that time no OW.

Which was unusual because he was a ONS manwhore. I would have missed a good book if I went by what the reviewer said. It wasn't the greatest book but I enjoyed it. I saw the growth in the H. I hope My review helps other readers. I rate this a 3. I'm a lazy reviewer. This took a lot out of me.

Community Reviewer, don't you give me cause to do this again. I love it so much and I immediately add or buy books with this trope. When I saw First Comes Love and it included a surprise pregnancy why yes let me one click that right now.

I had been in a huge reading slump and was able to devour First Come Love in a couple hours. Did this help me get out of my reading slump? Did I love this story? The story had so much potential. There was so much I wanted to know that I wish the author had explored. But it is definitely sweet, full of fluff, fast paced and easy to devour in a couple hours.

The author had a few missed opportunities to really make this shine.

Noah and Lauren were the characters that made me want to keep reading. Personally, I thought that Lauren was a well-developed character with a good head on her shoulders. The story is told through both perspectives but I felt like Lauren really took center stage here. The writing was pretty good, this is my first Emily Goodwin and I plan on reading more from her. Give it a try. It wasn't my favorite brother's best friend falls for younger sister story but it did help me get into the groove of reading.

Feb 29, Nikki rated it really liked it Shelves: This book was recommended to me by my bff who said she thought I'd really like it. This was the first book from this author that I've read, and I will definitely be reading more from her! I enjoyed the writing style, the story line, and the characters. He's such a great guy. Yeah he has a bad boy rep, deservedly, but once he finds out Lauren's pregnant, he's all in. I loved how excited he was about every mile stone during her pregnancy, and how involved he wanted to be This book was recommended to me by my bff who said she thought I'd really like it.

I loved how excited he was about every mile stone during her pregnancy, and how involved he wanted to be. And when he booked her a pregnancy massage He totally melted my heart. He's the perfect guy. He still has a bit of the bad boy in him, but he's also a loving guy who would do anything for his lady love and child. I wanted to punch them. I get they were worried and wanted to protect Lauren, but come on. Open your eyes and see the guy has changed.

I hated how they kept saying things to put doubt in her head. But I did love how she stood up for him at every turn. The sister in law was a mess. I get they why's of her feelings, but I felt like she took it too far. The only issue I had, was the lack of communication. I feel like some of the issues Lauren and Noah had could have been avoided had they talked it out more.

But other than that, this book was really great. Feb 18, Sbell rated it it was ok Shelves: This book needed more development. The characters were weak, the plot also. I didn't like how when Noah and Lauren "get together" neither one remembers. Now, this is a big event. It is the event that binds these 2 characters together, and makes their story move forward. And they don't remember? Not only do they not remember, we don't get to be a part of it either. It is written, but we don't experience it. I have to experience my books, not be told what happens.

Noah was also somewhat of an asshole in This book needed more development. Noah was also somewhat of an asshole in actions and thoughts. Now, I love me a good asshole every now and then, but Noah fell very short. I did not believe that these characters had any chemistry. Lastly, both Noah and Lauren said things that I just don't think people their age would say. This was too forced. I will not be reading more by this author. This was a cute read, a tad predictable but none the less enjoyable. Brothers best friend, accidental pregnancy and a teen crush all wrapped up in a fun with a little angst read.

Was a quick read for me, resident bad boy, a little miss perfect, total opposites but both had been hiding their crush for one another for years. One night, one mistake but the beginning of a whole new world for both of them, tough transition, few mistakes but I still loved it. The blurb really intrigued me as I love a brothers best friend story but Feb 13, Saunders rated it it was ok Shelves: Feb 12, Michele A. Emily and Noah have known each other for years, especially in light of Noah being the best friend of Emily's brother.

Emily has had a crush on Noah and Noah secretly had a crush on Emily but neither acted on it.

Emily is a vet tech who is awaiting word on whether she will get accepted to Vet school and Noah is a photographer. The story started okay but then fell apart for me. Emily and her family keep referring to Noah as a bad boy and no good but he was essentially part of their family for year Emily and Noah have known each other for years, especially in light of Noah being the best friend of Emily's brother. Emily and her family keep referring to Noah as a bad boy and no good but he was essentially part of their family for years.

Emily and Noah get drunk, have a one-night stand and surprise, surprise she's pregnant. For a vet tech she sure didn't know much about how birth control works apparently. On top of that, she uses her baby as an excuse to have Noah jump through hoops to prove he is a worthy father. The story really lost me when Emily kept pushing Noah away while also trying to give him the hope of a family. He is a successful photographer and she is a vet tech, yet she owns a house?

Also, there was many times in this book when Emily acted like a 2 year old and pretty much threw a tantrum, lashed out, complained she was tired and then wanted Noah to take care of her while secretly measuring him against the desire to her to have her prince charming. Her whole fascination with Disney movies was a bit creepy and not endearing, just showed how unrealistic her expectations were of love.

The fact she rewrote his discharge papers to dumb them down for him was a bit too much. He was a successful photographer, not a second grader. I got the impression he would be able to follow their instructions without her help. Overall I was disappointed and had hoped for more from the blurb of this story.

This book was also riddled with missed words, spelling errors and wrong words used, which took away from the story.

First Comes Love by Emily Goodwin

A very sexy read that had me squirming in my seat. But as they started talking she eased up to him. Feb 29, Meghan Moore rated it it was amazing. I absolutely love this story. It had just the right amount of what I was looking for in a story like this. One thing that stood out for me was the description.
