She fell for wealthy hotelier Rafael de Luca when he courted her for her beachfront real estate. Then he disappeared. Now, she's in New York for answers--and she won't accept a brush-off.

Overall Rating 3.5
Story Rating 3.5
Character Rating 3.5
Note: This was the first book in a new series by Maya Banks and I think we are in store for 4 unique stories. I can’t say that I have read to many pregnant women romances so I was unsure of what to expect.
What I Loved: Maya Banks has a way of making you understand the motives and emotions of her characters even when you don’t like them for it. She did a perfect job with Rafael, even though there was a point I wanted to kick him a shins. You know a character gets to you when you want to interact with them! I really loved Bryony and my heart ached for everything to work out well between them.
What I Liked: This was an interesting twist on an amnesia story (won’t give anything away) and it played out well. I really liked Rafe’s friends and can’t wait to read their stories.
Complaints: I felt the story lagged a little in the middle but that section worked well with the end. I think it had more to do with my not quite trusting Rafe.
Why I gave it a 3.5: Maya Banks weaved a very unique love story that pulled at my heartstrings and a leading lady that I cared about deeply!

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

Hmmm pregnant woman romance? Doesn't sound like something that I would normally pick up, but the story does sound intriguing…
I love Maya Banks books and can't wait to start this one 🙂
Wow Felicia, you are on a role here! Another author I still have to start reading, but intend to.
LOL! Yeah, I haven't read any preggy woman romances, and I'm not sure if I'd find any appeal in them, but the amnesia part of story sounds interesting.
Hm… I do want to try one of these, but maybe not this one yet. I don't think I'd like Rafe if you didn't for quite a lot of the book.
I read something by Maya Banks a couple years back that I didn't much care for… I don't know that I'd like this one any better!
Great review!! I have only read one of her books, and it was ok…but I will have to try this series out, sounds like something I may like.
