Sex, Lies and the Southern Belle
2 Stars

Following the death of her father, Lily Kincaid and her siblings are shocked to discover that he led a double life with another family. Matters are compounded when Lily's ex, the irresistible Daniel Addison, reappears in her life, and she will have to find the right moment to tell him she's pregnant.

An intriguing premise; unfortunately, Lily is too much of a doormat heroine, and the hero's 'I love you' doesn't ring true as he clearly had no intention of marriage before learning of Lily's pregnancy.

There is also a mystery surrounding the death of Lily's father, but it is underdeveloped and none of the secondary characters are interesting enough to continue with the series.… (meer)

This was a fun story about two people who loved each other from a distance, becoming vey drunk and ended up being married. I loved it. The story was written in a light-footed style, although there was nothing dainty in the perseverance of Chance. It was a light and simple story about love at first sight, a bit too much alcohol and another love story between two older people. Sometimes it’s right to have a light and simple story, when life happens. So I had a great time reading this love story and in the meantime adore and admire the writing style of Kathie DeNosky.
Here’s what the story’s about: Chance Warren wakes up with a hangover next to Kristen Lassiter, whom he always had admired from a distance. Then he discovers that he and Kristen were married, Las Vegas-style. He’d rather eat his Stetson and his boots as desert than being roped into marriage. His cowboy code of honour demanded however he do right by the innocent beauty, especially when the pregnancy stick turned blue.
Kristen couldn’t believe that one night with the sexiest man she’d ever met had left her as an expectant mother. She didn’t like to building a marriage based solely on the fact that she was pregnant. She quickly discovered that Chance was nothing like her only manly example, her father. No, Chance was an honourable man, but also a man who believed in her and supported her through and through. And when he swept her into his arms, Kristen forgot it was only for the baby’s sake, she began to hope that she was the wife he wanted…to love.
