Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake by Mazey Eddings
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up to 4 for GoodReads!
Thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for this ARC!
Lizzie is a woman who loves a good one night stand, works at a bakery, and has adult ADHD. Rake is an Australian man in town for work who just so happens to become Lizzie's one night stand, or so she thought. Lizzie left her keys at Rake's hotel room, so they have to see each other again (and neither are mad about it!) A few weeks later, Lizzie is throwing up, and on her last late warning for work. She later finds out that the reason she is so sick is because she is pregnant! How will she be bale to manage a kid when she struggles with taking her ADHD meds and staying on track? Lizzie tells Rake, and we hear their story unfold.
I am not a huge fan of books with steam, and this has some steam. Overall, it wasn't a lot so I was okay with it. If you enjoy the steamier scenes, it won't faze you! Lizzie and Rake's characters are great with more dynamic than you're expecting. Both come from their own experiences that still weigh heavily on them, making the book more enjoyable and less fluffy. (I did also appreciate the author's note at the beginning! I love that authors are labeling triggers/experiences that happen in the book before it even starts.)
I was also able to listen to this book and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the male narrator (that Australian accent!!) Overall, it was a good romance-y story!
