One fateful night, Toni Langston seduces her best friend, the guy she's been in love with forever. Two problems-he doesn't remember a thing that happened and now she's pregnant. Toni Langston has been in love with Simon, her best friend, for years. The night Simon breaks up with his long time girlfriend, he and Toni make love. Toni is devastated and humiliated when, in the heat of the moment, he calls her by his girlfriend's name. The next morning, Simon remembers nothing of the previous night and Toni is only too relieved not to remind him. Two months later, she discovers she's pregnant. She wants Simon to love her, apart from any obligation he might feel because of the baby. So she embarks on a quest to seduce her best friend, to make him see her as more than a little sister, to make him love her as much as she loves him. It works. Maybe too well. Now when things are perfect, she faces telling him of the secret she's kept.

Your rating:
I didn't sleep last night. Not because this book was so good that I couldn't wait to finish it, let me make that clear. But at about 5 am I stumbled across a copy of this, started it and a few hours later was done. With it. Forever.
There were not memorable lines or characters I could relate to and the ending left much to be desired (people don't have to almost die for others to realize what they feel for them!).
The story started all well and good, right away being a tad bit scandalous but it was all downhill from there. Sigh. No hot sex or steamy chemistry and I have never met a heroine who cries so often. My god woman, yes you're pregnant but yeesh there is something called "purposeful crying" that at least moves that plot ahead!
I would have given it 3 stars if I hadn't just read Sweet Persuasion and expected better from Maya Banks. Either she has really grown as an author or she should stick with writing what she knows.
2.5 stars
Listened to the audiobook.
