Description

I just wanted to have some fun...
It all started when I moved into my new apartment in Brooklyn and met my neighbor, Olivia. We became fast friends and so when she had to go out of town on an emergency work trip, I agreed to give her brother her keys so he could look after her dog. And then I met him. Her brother was Carter Stevens and he was sex on legs. He was a banker by day and a musician by night; arrogant, handsome, with the most tantalizing smile I'd ever seen. When he invited me to his show, I couldn't say no.

He wasn't looking for a relationship...
The night of the show we stumbled back to my place and had fun I can only blush thinking about. I'd never had a one-night stand before, but one night soon led to two, which led to three. Carter was exciting and mysterious, but he was a total playboy. He made it clear that this was some no strings attached fun.

But fate had other plans for us...
I thought we'd been careful, but I guess there was that one time that we weren't. And now, I'm pregnant and Carter Stevens and I have to figure out what to do next because one thing we both know for sure is that the baby is coming in nine months and we have no idea what to do next.

    Along came baby is one of those books that you read while relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. When everyone in your house, including fluffy are outside in the yard. Or at least not in the room with you. I enjoyed reading this book and I am looking forward to reading more.

    Along Came Baby is nothing like I expected it would be (in a good way). It’s not exactly your typical accidental pregnancy book. I’d read reviews on this book when it first released and was discouraged from buying and reading it but was lucky to receive an ARC, and let it be clear that I really did like this book. I loved Lila’s character; she really made this book so much better by being such a caring, lovable heroine. Carter has his (bad) moments, and if not for his POV I probably wouldn’t have liked him as much, but he, like many guys, is not used to being in a relationship and having strong feelings for a “significant other” so to speak. His and Lila’s relationship was not as “ideal” as other couples from different romance novels, but that made their book so much better. Yes they had a sort of toxic relationship going for them, with Carter being possessive and jealous, but many real relationships are that way and I could see that Carter was struggling with figuring his feelings out and wasn’t a bad person either. The plot and characters to this book were amazing and I’m excited to get to Dante’s book next. The only problem I had with this book was the abrupt ending, it felt very rushed and felt as if the missing scenes should have been included to make this book feel complete. I can’t wait to get the second part in September! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Overall a good read. Instant attraction becomes more when what was suppose to be a one night stand makes for an unexpected outcome. Lila was a likable character who has her life figured out but when she meets Carter instant chemistry made for some hot loving that brings feeling to life. Carter was your typical casanova but Lila rocks his world and than comes baby. We need to wait to see how their HEA plays out and Ali can’t wait for it.

    Curtis and Lila in Along Came Baby are a cute, fun couple that get a big surprise! This is a book that does have another book that follows up with the couple. I enjoyed all of the characters in the book especially Dante. If one was to get pregnant by a one night stand, I would want Curtis to be the dad!

Lilia is a lawyer and is finally making a great living doing what she always dreamed. There two worlds collide and together they are explosive. After on unprecedented night they have a lot more than they anticipated in their life. I truly enjoyed the story and can't wait to read what happens next. Will Carter calm down form being bossy and arrogant? Will Lilia be able to handle all that life has thrown in her direction?

    A one night stand that leads to a multi-night stand and then eventually into forever. Carter and Lila are hot right out of the gate. Lila is a lawyer who’s looking to have some fun, and Carter is a Wall Street man by day and a smooth-talking musician by night. He’s exactly what Lila is looking for in the fun category! They both have issues to work out and communication skills to work on, but they will find a way to work it out. Take a chance on this book; it’s worth the read!

    Lila is a hard working attorney who meets her neighbor’s brother, Carter, when he temporarily moves next door. Carter, 35, works on Wall Street but also plays in a band and is sexy, good looking and charming. Lila was warned that Carter doesn’t want the responsibility of a girlfriend or a relationship but they hook up anyway. She starts to fall for him and he becomes very bossy and jealous when he realizes she is special. He leaves his job to concentrate on his music career and then Lila realizes she is pregnant. How will they handle the news that they will be parents? Do they have a relationship that can last? Will they be able to manage his touring with the band and her career as well as a baby? I give this book 4.5 stars. It was a well written story that was very enjoyable to read. Carter was not always a very like able character but he seemed to get better the more he was around Lila and matured but his jealousy nearly ruined their relationship. I can’t wait to read the next book about this couple. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    This is the first book in the Along Came series and book 1 of Carter and Lila’s story. Carter is the older brother of Lila’s friend and neighbor, Danielle. Carter is pet sitting for Danielle when she has to go away for a month long business trip. When Carter and Lila meet, it’s an instant attraction. Neither is looking for a relationship. Just some steamy fun between the sheets. So they both embark on a month long one night stand in which Lila ends up getting pregnant. I liked the book, but didn’t love it. On one hand I was rooting for them, but I couldn’t help but observe some unhealthy relationship aspects of their “non-relationship.” He’s a jealous type and Lila finds that she has to hide her friendship with a coworker and her feelings from him. They have a lot to learn about relationships and I hope that the second book explores that aspect. Overall, the book is well written. P.S. this book does not end on a cliffhanger.

    Lila and Carter meet when he has to pick up keys to his sisters apartment to take care of it and her dog, Frosty while she is in England for work. Lila while she thought Carter was hot was annoyed that he was late to get the keys and Frosty which made her late for work but he came with breakfast and she immediately found him to be good looking. After that initial greeting the chemistry between the two is hot and even though it’s supposed to be no stings hook up it doesn’t exactly turn out that way. Really quick read, enjoyed the characters and look forward to book 2. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Lila is an attorney who is kinda in a funk. She doesn’t like her job, is in a city with no one she really knows and has no life. Carter is a Wall Street guy about to quit his job to focus on his band. Danielle is Carter’s sister and Lila’s neighbor. She’s going to England for a month for work and needs a dog sitter. Lila and Carter meet to exchange Danielle’s keys and it all begins. They are basically attached from the moment they meet. He is that guy who’s not looking for anything but fun and she’s just trying to go with the flow. One steamy bathroom hookup leads them to get pregnant and lots of decisions for both of them to make. It’s a cute book. Lila is the normal everyday girl and Carter struggles to deal with all kinds of new feelings. It’s a good read.
