Susan Mallery

Little bit pregnant (p. 219-443): Nicole Beauman had overcome a lot of obstacles in her life, and she sure as heck had never backed down from a challenge. But her boss, Zane Rankin, presented an entirely new sort of dilemma. Sexy and charming, he was like chocolate, sinfully good, but bad for her health. Nicki knew Zane didn't want to settle down, particularly not with a girl like her, and she didn't plan to lose her heart to a temporary fling. But when a friendly date got a little too friendly, things got a little bit steamy.

I almost feel bad that I’m not giving this book five stars. I think this might be the first Mallery that I haven’t given five stars to. Sorry Susan! I will never shy away from proclaiming my love for romance novels, and Susan Mallery is one of my favorites. This book was originally released as an audio only, but this summer they finally gave us a print version, so of course I immediately rushed to my (e) library (and thank goodness I have the ability to get ebooks from my library directly to my kindle…it’s a wonderful thing) and put a hold on this one. Her books are highly sought after, so I actually had to wait (pouting the entire time). 
	At 195 pages, this is the shortest Susan Mallery I have read (but she is a recent author-find of mine so I haven’t read them all…yet) and it flowed pretty quickly. There’s a lot of cliché and cheese in this one, which is fine because that’s what we look for in a good romance. I just felt like it was slightly rushed and wasn’t as believable as some of her other works. Otherwise it’s a great, quick summer read.
