This Harlequin Desire novel was perfection at it's finest! The romance novel had a wonderful pace and moved fast enough that I didn't get bored or want to put it down. I could hardly stop reading each chapter since it was highly addicting and I wanted to know what would happen with Tyler and Amelia!

Tyler and Amelia, two best friends, have a wild night in Vegas where they get married on a whim and discover they are pregnant. These two conflicting personalities must find a way to get along and solve their marriages woes and the problems that come along with expecting a baby with one of your best friends.

The plot was a very common used one in most novels, but I adore this wacky spin with these two very strong characters. I did wish there would have been a sequel or more chapters about the extent of Tyler and Amelia's relationship, but for a single novel it was excellent! I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a quick read and a good romance! There was no cliffhangers either and the story ended in a nice way that made the novel come together perfectly!

Five out of five stars! A solid romance novel that is a quick read.

What Lies Beneath
3 Stars

Badly injured in a plane crash, a woman awakens with no idea who she is. Immediately introduced to family and a fiancé she has no recollection of, Cynthia Dempsey must rediscover herself and the man who has trouble reconciling this sweet and caring woman with the treacherous ice queen who betrayed him in the past.

The beginning of this romance is reminiscent of [b:Mirror Image|685788|Mirror Image|Sandra Brown|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1344265614l/685788._SY75_.jpg|358067] by Sandra Brown, one of my all-time favorite mistaken-identity novels.

However, aside from the two women exchanging seats immediately prior to the crash, the plots are very different as Brown's heroine does not suffer from amnesia. Rather she assumes the other woman's identity in order to solve a mystery.

Back to this book...

"Cynthia" and Will are likable characters and their romance is engaging up to a point. As soon as the truth is revealed, Will's behavior leaves much to be desired. He leaves his intelligence and common sense behind, and ignores the facts to believe the worst about the heroine. This is exceedingly irritating and puts a damper on the relationship.

Another issue is the focus on clothing design. This might be my own personal issue as I am really not a fan of clothes or fashion, so this aspect of the storyline went right over my head.

All in all, this is quick read, but for anyone looking for an intense romantic-suspense thriller with similar themes, you cannot go wrong with Sandra Brown's masterpiece.… (mehr)
