Knocked Up
by Stacey Lynn
Let's start with the obvious. The hero, Braxton Henley, is described as having full sleeve tattoos and most of his chest and back are also covered in tattoos. So, for the amount of skin being shown by the cover model there should at least be some photo-shopped ink. Why would you not want that?
Anyway, cover aside, this was a pretty standard accidental pregnancy romance, complete with a typical can't take a compliment heroine who has extreme parent issues (poor little rich girl) and a "bad-boy" because he grew up on the wrong side of town and has tattoos but managed to pull himself up to the top due to the kindness of a stranger. He's hot, kind of a slut-shamer, a womanizer, and new-rich, but of course our heroine's magic turns him into the best guy ever.
I've read this story so many times and it has been done better than here. I did finish reading it, and it had cute moments, but the sexy-times were a bit tainted for me by the sheer amount of vomit discussed. Also, the hero had a lot of slightly disturbing inner-monologue about placating the girl to make her THINK she was making a decision, but knowing he was going to do everything in his power, nefarious or otherwise, to change her mind. Kind of gross.
Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.
