What can I say other than I loved The Best Man's Baby! I'm usually quite stingy with giving out 5 stars, but this one took me on a ride I didn't want to end. It grabbed me from the very beginning and didn't let me go until the very last word was read. It was emotionally intense, sweet, romantic & with a touch of sexy (sex scenes were fade to black). Just because sex scenes were fade to black doesn't mean this book wasn't sexy. It certainly was! There was great chemistry between Jake and Claire and the sexual tension was nicely written. I could truly feel the air sizzled whenever they were together.There were hints within the story that there was something going on with Jake or that something bad had happened to him and so that provided a bit of a mystery within the story. I was intrigued definitely and when the time came for Jake to tell Claire his secret, it was such a heartbreaking one. His story was one that pulled at my heart strings. I admit, I cried while reading because it was just highly emotional. I just wanted to crawl into the story and hug Jake for everything that has happened to him.The Best Man's Baby also featured a rich cast of secondary characters that played a great supporting role in the story such as Holly, Quinn, Evan and of course Ella. I especially loved Jakes' niece Ella. She was completely adorable! Here is an author who can write a toddler who really acts like her age & not like I'm reading about an adult two-year-old.Overall, The Best Man's Baby was a fantastic read. It hit all the points in what makes a great romance story. I read this in one sitting and although it was 2 am in the morning, I couldn't care less that I didn't get enough sleep the next day. It was definitely a story worth losing sleep over. Once again, I loved this one & would highly recommend it to readers!
