Some Girls Do

Some Girls Do

Amy Andrews2015
Fashion student Lacey Weston is desperate to leave the city and go home to Jumbuck Springs. Her three older brothers are adamant she’s not. They made a death bed promise to their mother that Lacey would stay the distance at design school and Ethan, the oldest, takes this responsibility very seriously. But Lacey is deeply homesick and determined not to be dissuaded again. She’s also impulsive enough to try anything - even faking a pregnancy. Ex-cop turned mechanic, Cooper Grainger - one of Ethan’s oldest friends - agrees to watch out for Lacey in the city even though he has a history with her he’d rather forget. How hard could it be, right? But a couple of years later, Coop is over pulling Lacey out of scrapes and cleaning up her messes as she tries to outrun her grief and sense of dislocation. He takes her back to Jumbuck Springs so she can persuade her brothers to let her come home. But things don’t go according to plan. Before Coop knows it Lacey’s pregnant and he’s putting his hand up as the fake baby daddy, filling in for the town mechanic and moving in with her at the local pub. Lacey is thrilled to have won a reprieve but nothing about the situation sits well with Coop. Least of all having sweet little Lacey Weston as his new roomie…

This book is dealing with a little sad theme like the main character lost mother at the begging of the story and after two and half year jump they mention her too. Like her mother wanted her to go desingn school and asked on the death bed to her brother to promise her that they send Lacey to school. Like, give her time to get sad. That the problem she was unhappy and they always send her they just because of that promise even though she is sad there and she wants to come home. Some much that she lied about pregnancy and that father is Coop. Yeah, her brother's best friend who is she attracted to so much and I guess the only person who listens to her because her brother doesn't at all. The chemistry between Coop and her is sweet. He doesn't want to destroy his relationship with Eliott (brother) just so he can be with her. Nop he will not but again he was too deep in feeling before he knows who she is and that same with her.
