Man…I’m such huge Jacob Chance fan. The characters are always dynamic and unique, the stories are always captivating and thrilling, and the romance is just SO GOOD. I like the way Chance writes heroines. These women always have strength and spunk and they never back down from a fight. The heroine in this story is nothing short of incredible. Tenley is beautiful, yes, but she’s also smart and passionate and driven. She has goals. When a one night stand results in a surprise pregnancy, Tenley and Clancy have to face the music.

I don’t usually read surprise pregnancy books. I don’t usually enjoy them, so it’s not often that I give them a chance. I decided to buckle down and read this one because Amazon kept recommending it to me and eventually I gave up ignoring it. BOY am I glad I read it! Clancy is a total playboy. He’s a senior in college, being scouted for the NHL, and has the world at his fingertips. He doesn’t believe in settling down or having a girlfriend. He’s known Tenley for years, seeing as she is his cousin’s best friend. They run into each other at a wedding and end up having a one night stand. A delicious one night stand that was the best sex either of them has ever had. Very memorable. Weeks later Tenley finds out that she’s pregnant even though they were safe. Surprise surprise. The trope isn’t the best nor is it the most interesting. What made this story worth it was the dynamic between these two. Tenley and Clancy live like seven states away from each other so in order to stay up to date, they have to text and talk on the phone ALL THE TIME. When Tenley goes to visit Clancy for a few days they both realize their feelings are more than casual, but neither of them admit it. It’s a game of cat and mouse with these two which just makes it so much more interesting. 

Finally we hit rock bottom when this couple’s communication issues hit an all time high. Not to spoil anything, but just keep in mind that a lot can be misconstrued when you aren’t speaking in person to someone. Don’t worry though, our couple gets their well deserved HEA at the end AND we get an incredible epilogue to help tie everything up into a pretty bow for us! LOVED IT!! Great story, wonderful characters, 4 stars!!

“Forget the apple; Tenley is my original sin and I plan to devour her completely.”
