1: Pretty Crude
I started this book really into it, thinking it would be a great read. And it was, up until the Caribbean trip. The sex scenes were so overly graphic, you'd think a teenage boy had written them. And the characters just got dumb after that. It was really hard for me to finish, and I agree with some of the other reviewers who saw the ending from a mile away. Initially I was going to try some of the author's other books, but this one was unnecessarily raunchy in my opinion.

2: Heartwarming, sexy and funny all in one!
I found myself cracking up so many times throughout this book. At the same time the book was sexy and pulled at your heartstrings. My only complaint is that I want to know more about what happens with Mandy & Damien. I felt the ending was a tad rushed, but I still loved the book. I actually read this through the library but I am planning on purchasing this book for my personal collection - I can definitely see myself wanting to read it again. I highly recommend it!

3: 3.5 stars. Nicely done. I liked it.
A few scenes had me chuckling. Both characters are likeable. I enjoyed Mandy's competence and efficiency at work. I loved Damien's involvement with the pregnancy. He read more pregnancy books than she did. When she was getting an ultrasound, she asked the technician a question, but Damien gave the technical answer. A minor occurrence happens at the very end which totally surprised and delighted me. Lovely ending.
Story brief: Damien is wounded from his past. He was married to Jessica who was murdered. He was a suspect but later cleared. He has avoided relationships with anyone for three years. Mandy is British, living in New York. She accidentally gets pregnant from Ben. He wants nothing to do with it. She wants health insurance for the baby so she gets a job as an assistant to computer executive Damien. She is great at her job. Damien is intrigued with her and asks her to go on a trip to the Caribbean for work. When there, he learns she is pregnant and they have an affair. When they return to NY, they resume their previous relationship, but Damien continues reading about pregnancy and emails information to her.
Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: five. Setting: current day New York and the Caribbean. Copyright: 2005. Genre: contemporary romance.

5: Awesome author, awesome book!
Erin McCarthy's writing is awesome. She is extremely romantic but hey, everyone needs that sometimes! If you like detailed sex scenes, then you won't go wrong with this book. :D Very easy read and also an extremely cute book.
