Review:

That is until Angela finds herself pregnant. Alex insists on doing the right thing, but after suffering the loss he has only a year ago he’s not sure he will every be able to give Angela what she needs or deserves. Can two wounded people fall in love with the gully of grief that lies between them or will they just be co-parents?
This was a great little read. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I thought that the idea of Angela being a stripper was definitely something I hadn’t read lately. Angela and Alex’s budding relationship was really well written even if it was a bit fast. I personally would have enjoyed a bit more back story of their childhood around each other. I think that would have given everything a bit more depth. For a quick read and a sexy love story it was a good one. It is definitely worth a read if you are in the mood for strippers, sex, pregnancy and love.
