Siempre ando buscando historias como estas donde la chica quede embarazada, ¿por qué?, no lo sé. Pero me encantan. Está fue una historia de romance linda y dulce, no te sorprenderá pero te hace pasar un rato agradable. La chica me gustó, tiene una pasión por su trabajo que me llamó la atención, además es mi colega, una maestra de escuela que a pesar de las frustraciones que genera la carrera, la ama.

Embarazo en Las Vegas

Protagonistas: Linc Curtis y Molly Hunter
Argumento:

¿Se cumpliría su sueño de formar una familia?
Desde que Molly vio a Linc en Las Vegas, donde había ido a pasar un fin de semana con sus amigas, se quedó prendada de él. Conectaron al instante y se dejaron llevar por el momento. Molly volvió a casa tras esa fantástica aventura, pero nunca imaginó que tuviera que regresar a Las Vegas para darle una noticia sorpresa a su romance de una noche.

[LaFleurBleue]

More like 1.5, as it was not awfully bad.
I did not like the many many many repetitions about each character's hangups, that failed to develop until the end. Moreover the reason why Linc decided to cut himself from any kind of life and relationships was not sufficient to justify it, and especially not for so long.
I did not buy at all the way Mollie managed in a few days to help develop a new software without ever having to really think about it.
Really not a great read and not one I'd recommend.

Achei a história tão fofinha mas tão fofinha que não consegui resistir e ler em apenas uma dia, o que vale é que também é pequena, mas adorei. Molly envolve-se numa noite em Las vegas com Linc e não trocam apelidos, nem números de telemóvel, nada. Dois meses depois, Molly descobre que está grávida e consegue descobrir o Linc e onde ele trabalha, o que ela não sabe é que ele é dono de uma empresa, e ela acaba por ir trabalhar para ele para o poder conhecer melhor e dizer-lhe que está à espera de um filho dele, mas será que ele aceita? Só não gostei do fim, achei novamente muito forçado se tivesse mais umas 10 páginas acho que ficaria melhor a história .

I didn’t think you could write a hallmark movie into a book, but here you go! Definitely a cheesy romance novel with limited character development, and can definitely guess what is going to happen the moment you read the title. But it is a nice sappy, heart warming, palette cleanser.

tenerissimo!!!

Molly Hunter has already married and divorced a man that was totally focused on work. A man who did not want children, or family. So now, she finds she is pregnant by a man who was the same way. Gorgeous, sexy, but solely focused on work, Linc curtis did not seem to be the same man she had met all those nights ago in Las Vegas.



Linc Curtis felt the weight of the world on his sholders. He had failed his dying mother's last wish, and had not protected his younger brother. His brother was dead because he had not been there when needed. How could he ever have any kind of a relationship if he was unreliable? Work was the only thing he seemed to be any good at, and who would not fail there. Having Molly show up, wanting to know the details of his life, when he didn't want to relive his failures, made him continue to push her away. But he really wanted to pull her close.



Very sweet and touching. So glad when Linc was finally able to let go of the guilt of his brother's tragic death and forgive himself.

I usually like pregnancy romance stories. At least Linc didn't force her to marry him too much or go all brooding alpha on her. That's the redeeming point of this story.

Molly Hunter is a kindergarten teacher who looses her job due to cut backs and finds out she's pregnant from her single one-night stand of her life in Las Vegas where she and her three best friends went to cheer up their fiance jilted friend Jayne. For a single night all friends went their own way through Vegas hotels and Molly met Linc no-last-names-disclosed for a one-night stand. Just by bits of information on Linc she knows that he is CEO of Curtis Software company.

She goes to Las Vegas to inform his about the baby, looses courage and ends up being working for him. Lincoln Curtis is guilt ridden for the death of his younger brother and doesn't have time for relationships. But he can't let go of Molly and the light she brings in his dark life.

Not the best of the pregnancy stories out there. I've read many good ones.

[Karen Kirst]

I didn't enjoy this one as much as some of Ms. Jump's others. Molly and Linc have a one-night stand in Vegas, totally out-of-character for them both. Two months later, Molly discovers she's pregnant, so she goes back to find him. Instead of telling him outright, however, she begins working for him in an effort to get to know him. I got frustrated waiting for her to spill the beans. There was an opportunity for great emotional intensity with this story, but it didn't happen. The hero and heroine didn't really connect until way too late.

[Sarah]

It was kind of rushed, IMO. Over too fast. I know that the Romance series of Harlequin is shorter, but dang, that was super short, or at least felt that way.
It felt rushed and not really clearly thought out or planned. Felt, honestly, like an almost unedited NaNo, minus for spelling errors and the like. No real clear sense of direction. Just went wherever.

[Natasha Hagen]

When that one night stand in Vegas leaves you a permanent reminder of that night. Two months after that night Molly realizes that she is pregnant. She has always wanted that great fairytale family, nut before that can happen she needs to track down the baby's father.

This is a feel good, happy ending kind of story. A quick easy read.

[Donna]

This was an ok story - it initially grabbed my interest but didn't really hold it. It may be because I found the characters too weighed down by guilt, responsibility and sadness. Even the HEA ending didn't have much of a spark to it. Rating: 2.5 rounded up to 3.

[Kristi]

I thought this book was a great romance book. The characters were good. I wanted her to tell him about the baby the whole time. But she waited until he figured it out. But overall I liked the book.

[Tasha]

This was a terrific story to read. Shirley Jump did a great job on this one

[Mim-Is-Reading]

One of the driest romance-and-pregnancy stories I have ever read.

[Sharon]

Quick and fun read
