One minute, pregnant Leah Andrews is throwing up over the side of a yacht and the next, she's married to party boy Brooks. It's an arrangement born of sheer desperation to save her job, but now the tabloids are all over them, their friends are running a pool betting on whether they'll actually stay married until Baby Day, and worst of all, she and her new husband might just be falling for one another. But they belong in opposite worlds. It'll never work. Billionaire app developer Brooks Larson lives his life on the light side. Until he tries to play hero and claims to be Leah's husband. Now he's up to his ears in Lamaze classes, baby powder...and unexpected marital bliss. But he'd make a rotten husband and horrible father. Leah and the baby deserve so much better. Add in major baby daddy drama and the whole situation is the worst idea EVER. But sometimes those bad ideas might just be the best ones.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars
The Billionaire's Unexpected Baby was a very frustrating book. The focus wasn't on Brooks and Leah's relationship. Honestly, I believe that Brooks had more heated moments with Leah's baby daddy than he had with Leah. He and Leah just share a house together and later a bed. There is zero communication and no romance. We have time jumps that didn't help with the book's case. I would have loved to read a scene when is just Brooks and Leah without having Marcus popping up.That guy was a douche to Brooks in the past and suddenly he is a man who wants to be actively involved in his child's life? I just don't buy that. There was already enough friction without him stealing an idea from Brooks. Basically, the book's plot was something like this. Brooks and Leah are about to have a nice moment that involves the baby, but Marcus shows up, reminds Brooks that he is not the father and Leah, of course, wants her baby daddy in the picture so she says nothing, which leads to Brooks feeling like an outsider. And that made me mad. Brooks was ALWAYS there for Leah and he was taking care of her. Leah, on the other hand, did nothing to make sure that Brooks had a place in her life that meant something more than her fake husband. The scene when the baby was born broke my heart. I wanted Leah to take the leap and make sure that Brooks knew that he meant something to her because if Brooks hadn't done something I am sure she would have expected to live with Brooks, the baby and Marcus in a house together until the baby turned 18. Leah gets the award of one of the worst heroines and this book a one-star rating because if I wanted a soap opera I would have turned on the tv (or just focused on my life). Honestly, I think the reason why Marcus was so active in his baby's life is that the author plans to write a book with him as the hero. He was so present in this one that there is no way the author doesn't have an idea of what his story is going to be. And I ain't plan on reading it. Leah and Marcus should have ended up together. I hated both of them and as I said Marcus appeared almost as much as Brooks, so he could easily have been the hero of this novel.

Kira Archer resides in Pennsylvania with her husband, two kiddos, and far too many animals in the house. She tends to laugh at inappropriate moments and break all the rules she gives her kids (but only when they aren’t looking), and would rather be reading a book than doing almost anything else. Most of her non-writing hours are spent hanging with her family and running her kids around because they are busy and she's the taxi driver. She loves her romances a little playful, a lot sexy, and always with a happily ever after. She also writes historical romances as Michelle McLean.
