One Night Charmer by Maisey Yates
This book had 2 of my 3 most hated tropes: age gap and pregnancy. Which is a shame because parts of this book were really enjoyable, but I couldn't get past how much I HATE those two tropes. Sierra leaves home because she finally finds out about Jack and she can't look at her dad anymore. She moves in with her brother and his fiancee who everyone hates (some of the best parts of the book were everyone taking trash about Natalie). She gets a job at Ace's bar, because Jack asks Ace to do him a favor. She works hard so it's not a big deal, but they have a lot of chemistry, which is a problem. He is opening a new restaurant, more upscale, and is struggling with some of the design elements and she starts helping him (the initial get together over alcohol tastings was great, until it led to said pregnancy - which I saw from a mile away). Her going to the bigger town with her sister for the pregnancy test was a great scene, all of the scenes with her sister were good. She and Ace fought, a lot. He had lots of issues to work out. Him working them out in a church, with his father, was nice, but a little too easy. If I wasn't so mad at the book I probably would have like how easy that was, truthfully. I have truly enjoyed only one of these books and at this point it almost feels like I'm hate reading them; but the one I enjoyed I really liked and I keep hoping for that same spark because obviously it can happen.
