Juno hopes to reunite her best friend’s fiance with his estranged brother, Hollywood star Mac Brody. But her efforts have unexpected consequences: Mac does reluctantly come to the wedding, but mainly to see her. Juno has cut herself off from men and relationships after a bad experience when she was sixteen, and Mac has some painful secrets of his own, but somehow they are drawn together.

For the first 3/4 of the story, this was a decent read. Mac is a category hero type that appeals to me: the kind who falls in love without realizing it and finds himself acting completely out of character. Also, sexy Irish speech patterns! The style was comfortably in category romance territory, yet dodged some seemingly inevitable cliches and seemed to have a refreshingly modern outlook towards issues like birth control and safe sex.

Then the secret baby plot popped up and it all went downhill fast: cliched, reactionary, aggravatingly misinformed and morally repugnant.
