Blurb: Claire is a twenty-something, single mom that grudgingly helps her best friend sell sex toys while she attempts to make enough money to start her own business to give her foul-mouthed, but extremely loveable (when he’s asleep) toddler a better life.
When Carter, the one-night-stand from her past that changed her life forever, shows up in her hometown bar without any recollection of her besides her unique chocolate scent, Claire will make it a point that he remembers her this time.
With Carter’s undisguised shock at suddenly finding out he has a four-year-old son and Claire’s panic that her stretch marks and slim to none bedroom experience will send the man of her dreams heading for the hills, the pair will do whatever they can to get their happily ever after.
Warning: includes explicit sex, profanity and enough sarcasm to choke a horse.
As a note, even though it is mentioned in the blurb, there is a ton of profanity in this book, if that offends you then you definitely shouldn't read it.
Wow! I seriously laughed for the whole first chapter straight! Yes it has loads of profanity and sarcasm, but I love that kind of humor so I loved this book! Add the humor in with a good love story and I just couldn't stop reading it.Claire & Carter's love story was really cute and definitely unique. Claire gets pregnant in college after a one night stand meant to relieve her of her virginity with no strings attached, but fails to find out the guy's name. After trying for months to find her baby's daddy she gives up and moves on with her life never expecting to see him again. Claire is so funny. She is snarky beyond words but is a loyal friend and good mother to her son.
One of my favorite quotes: I remember that night fondly. And by fondly, I mean with bitter resentment toward all things alcoholic and with a penis.Carter gets a job transfer to a new city to try to give his life a new start. His one night stand with Claire was always on his mind because they had hit it off so well, but he had no way of contacting her so he has tried to move on. It was so funny watching (reading, hey it's a movie in my head lol) the two of them together.
Overall it was a really good contemporary romance, with lots of hilarious situations. Sometimes when I review it is hard for me to give a book a rating. I mean, usually I know within 1 star what my actual rating will be, but with this book there was absolutely no question. I loved it plain and simple.
