I need to interrupt this regularly schedule blog to comment on something. What is up with the guy on the cover? Seriously what is going on with his face? This is what I see on that cover
Woman: So I'm pregnant but in a cute way and I was thinking we could sunbathe a bit.
Man: You look puffy...oohh shiny...
Out of all of the photos possible, why this one?
I'm a stickler for reading a series in order but I started with book two this time. I wanted to start with book one but it was checked out at the library. This seemed like a good enough place to start although it references the previous book a bit.
Before this book Ryan and Kelly broke up when Ryan discovered Kelly cheated on him with his brother. For some reason he can't get her out of his mind so he tracks her down in a crappy diner. She's just as he remembered her except she's really pregnant. Being the great guy he is, he decides she's coming home but reminds her the baby could be his brother's. In the meantime we learn the truth about the brother and Kelly and learn everyone is a bit of a bitch to Kelly. Of course, conflicts arise and issues are dealt with in a timely manner.
Periodically I wanted to kick Kelly gently and ask her why she was so ridiculous. She let Ryan go along with his version of what happened because he didn't believe her six months earlier. Instead of calling him on his bullshit she took it and then took it from everyone else! Seriously girl, stand up for yourself just a bit.
I almost felt sorry for Ryan. Everyone lied to him pretty much all the time and all out of 'concern' for his well-being. He played the victim but he was a victim just not by Kelly. He was victimized by his family over and over again and it took almost losing Kelly to make him realize it.
This was my favorite of the three books I read in this series. I really liked watching their relationship unfold as they tried to ignore the past although it was ultimately too big of a past to be pushed aside. I also enjoyed discovering Ryan was a pretty decent groveler when he realized he was severely in the wrong. I love a good groveler.
I would recommend this as a good one to read in this series. You can read it without reading the first one for the most part. Plus it has my favorite HP storyline...BABY! I love a good pregnancy HP.
