Sexy and sweet

I loved this book! I always like Ann Evans books, so I was excited to see another book by her from Harlequin.In After That Night, the heroine has a big, busy, nosy family of men, and she isn't at all interested in having another man in her life. That doesn't mean she's not interested in having a little fun, though. But as a single mother, her life isn't a whole lot of fun right now. It's mostly work and motherhood and more work. When she gets an unexpected trip to New York, she decides to have one crazy fling with the hunk she's come to interview."After that night", though, she finds herself pregnant. And she's even more surprised when she discovers that her hunky, rich, powerful one-night-stand has every intention of being a father to his unexpected baby--even if it means he has to become a father to her children, too.Watching these two people find a way to make a family together is a very sweet, very sexy journey for the reader. I always love a man who is willing to love another man's children as his own, and this hero is definitely up to the job! He's as good at teaching her little boys how to play baseball as he is at seducing the heroine. You can't help but love him, even though he starts out with committment problems. By the end of the book, you know he's going to be the best daddy ever!After That Night has a wonderful sense of what it's like to adore your family even while you feel smothered by them. They have picnics and parties and baseball games and theme parks and a lot of fun on every page. You really feel that you've become a part of this wild and crazy family, and you are sorry when you come to the last page and it's all over.

straightforward but fun romance

In Atlanta, Jenna Rawlins works as the CPA/CFO partner with two other women managing Fairy Take Weddings magazine. Jenna no longer believes in happily ever after, obtaining her divorce from "Jack-ass" last year. Their two sons live with her and she resides with her father.For their magazine, her partners ask her to spend time with Mark Bishop, who says his passion is his work. Mark and Jenna passionately hit it off and to her shock she ends up in bed with him. However, though they are attracted to one another, this relationship appears to be a one-night stand until Mark learns that Jenna is pregnant with his child. Though he always believed he wanted an uncomplicated life, Mark concludes he would rather have happy chaos with his beloved Jenna, her two rambunctious boys, and their child. However, Jenna refuses to see him in the light of doting husband and father so Mark's passion is to prove to her that he wants her and everyone that goes with her for eternity.Though the two children and her pregnancy add complexity to the plot, AFTER THAT NIGHT is a straightforward romance starring two charming protagonists. The theme has been done zillions of times yet Ann Evans keeps it fashionable, fresh, and fun. Readers of simple romances that entertain will appreciate the latest "9 Months Later" story.Harriet Klausner
