Summary: Not real Exciting!
Review: This is the first book of Susan Mallery's that I have read and I have to admit I was disappointed. Most romance stories lately are about a man and a woman who are in love with each other, but either one or the other or both will not admit it. Like I said this is included in most books lately, but is usually not the main focus of the book. However, it is the main focus of this book. I did not feel that the real story started until the last couple of chapters. Nora has been hurt by two men in her life and is reluctant to trust another man. Stephen has suffered heartache in his past and is reluctant to love anyone again. One night that they both let down their guard leads to Nora getting pregnant. Now they have to decide what that means for there future. Thats it--that is the sum of the book. There were several times that the author used the same expressions over and over. For example, if I heard Stephen say that "We have to talk" one more time I was going to scream. I hate being so negative in a review. I generally love most books that I read, but I felt that the possibilities for this book were great and I could not help but be disappointed at the end. If you are looking for a basic read to pass the time than go ahead and give this book a try. Heck, you may find something I don't. I am not giving up I plan on reading another of Susan Mallery's books. I just hope it is a bit more exciting.

Summary: Highly recommended
Review: This return to The Lone Star Canyon miniseries by Susan Mallery continues with UNEXPECTEDLY EXPECTING! Feisty hairdresser Nora Darby has always wanted children, it's a husband she can do without. She knows seeing Doctor Stephen Remington is dangerous, threatening her heart, but she refuses to listen to her little voice of caution when she's in his arms. Other women can have adult affairs without disrupting their lives, so surely she can too. Except that the first night of incredible sex turns her life upside down. And she's been lonely a long time. Stephen offers a special relationship without the emotional attachments of marriage. He wants monogamy, and when the inevitable end comes, he wants it to be friendly. Then an incredible night of passion leads to unexpected emotional intimacy...broken when he realizes that the condom also broke. He wants this child, and will marry Nora to share his child's life. Somehow he can't stop admiring the intriguing woman with the loud mouth and hidden, soft heart. Susan Mallery has a talent for creating memorable characters with surprising depth and determination. Nora and Stephen provide heart-warming entertainment as they skirt the issues of love and commitment. While this is not a plot driven novel, the depth of characterization, especially Nora's firce independence and strength of character, make her special and memorable. UNEXPECTEDLY EXPECTING! is highly recommended!
