Although not exactly a meet-cute , the main characters first meeting was interesting and their actions from that first meet became the nucleus and subsequent misunderstanding that slowly propelled the book forward. Kelsey and Aaron's relationship was built on a case of mistaken identity and while the pace was slow and bland to begin with, it galloped to a beautiful finish, once they realized what had happened.Aaron, whose character may have initially led me to believe he was self-emasculating and lacking confidence, turned the tables around with his hilarious take on meanness and his assertiveness and firm stance with Kelsey's revelation.Kelsey on the other hand came across as unlikable and self-important for most of the story but eventually she had a change of heart.Nice story which could have been great with some editing in the first half of the book.Thanks for the opportunity to review this ARC.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for this book but I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. I liked it it was okay I wasn’t feeling Kelsea as a character she was mean and I don’t like how she was treating Aaron. Aaron I liked him a little bit as a character plus he is a doctor my favorite a smart guy and a doctor that is cute to me. I am happy that I got this Arc and it was a quick read

As always Leddy Harper has written a book that will suck you in from the first page. This is a story that will have you hanging onto the edge of your seat to get to the end.

Kelsey has been burned and therefore she is pretty much a man hater. So when she has a chance to forget about everything for one night she does. No names, no contact. But sometimes life throws you a curve ball.

Aaron hates when people assume things. Yes he has a PhD after his name but he isn’t a surgeon or a general practitioner. So when he has the chance to forget everything for one night, he jumps on it.

Then a surprise happens, the night of no names become new roommates but there is a secret between them. We follow as these two try and trust each other and once the truth comes out we follow as these two fall and they fall hard.

Recommended for any romance lover.

2.5 stars
Here is the deal with Leddy Harper's books for me. I either love them or don't. This one was more of a don't for me. I didn't care for Kelsey at all. She was annoying and selfish, immature and was not every nice to Aaron.

Secret baby's are one whole plot line, but when you mix in roommate, one night stand and surprise baby all in one story, it is overkill.

This book was just ok for me. Very cliche. I was excited forna secret baby romance but again this was just ok. Thanks Netgalley for the Arc

Somewhere around 3.5 stars. I'm a sucker for surprise baby romances so I jumped right into The Secret Baby. I enjoyed it but also wasn't falling head over heels for it.

I loved the backstory and depth that Kelsey had in relation to her family. But the author also left her character development regarding her past romances in the dark so long that I couldn't fully connect to the core of the story until nearly the end. There was a lot of up and down and back and forth in this book. I would get so invested only to turn around and be apathetic by the next chapter.

Aaron was a decent character but I also felt there needed to be more to his "nice guy"/preassumptions dilema. Something about it just didn't work for me in the long run. At a certain point you're just like, if dozens of girls have hit the road running, maybe the problem really IS you and your social skills.

I will say, if you're looking for a mostly clean romance, then this is it! There aren't graphic sex scenes or loads of dirty talk. It's all very PG-13 and cut-away moments. So that was actually a bit refreshing, especially since it a pregnancy romance!

Overall, I loved a few parts, liked many parts, and plodded my way through the rest. It was good, not great, but I still enjoyed it.

* I received a free advance digital copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly I could not get into this book. I only made it to the second chapter before I closed it. It was just hard to follow and what was there was a bunch of cliches.
