One Night Only by Jaicy Lee: When her car gets out of gas, a stranger helps her go to the club where her musical gig was going to happen. That night they ended in bed. Three months later, she discovers that the stranger she’d slept with was Daniel Pak, her father’s company new CFO. And the father of her unborn child!

Since it would be a far more complicated situation than it was that her father know about Megan’s unexpected pregnancy, Daniel ask her to marry him, at first. But Megan doesn’t want to be in a loveless marriage, so they come with an agreement: they will be coparenting partners and keeping Daniel’s involvement in Megan’s pregnancy a secret from her father for some time. Would this makes things worse for them?

Megan is determined to have what she wants in life. Coming from a loving family, she couldn’t accept nothing less than marrying to someone who loves her instead of being with her for duty reasons. In this case, for the sake of their child. She thinks Daniel isn’t the guy who will do that—he even told her that he doesn’t believe in love. Actually, Daniel had a pretty bad experience with love and the women in his life. His mother left him with his father when he was a child and his girlfriend betrayed him as an adult. So no, he doesn’t want anything love related around him. Yet their attraction is stronger than their wills and they succumb to their desires eventually. Their chemistry as a couple is what will lead them to what they really want: a strong, unconditional love we could feel through the pages of this book.

I loved this couple; they’re the end of each other’s shoes. Both have strong ideas about their goals. Also, they face the challenges of being parents with courage, even though they have big fears regarding how they will handle all the changes a baby brings to a new parent like them. As they go to doctor appointments and unexpected dates, their sexual tension builds with every scene and their romance is believable and magnificent.

Secondary characters are great in this book. I enjoyed the bond between the sisters and how the interact when they’re together. Also, Megan’s father is so charming!! Loved his matchmaking attempts and, even though he’s a bit disappointed with the idea of his daughter being a single mother at the beginning, the way he supports Megan is very touching.

The first book of The Hana Trio series sets the bar pretty high, so I expected book 2 as good as its predecessor, or more. And it is. There were some flaws, to be honest, but it’s a great book I would recommend to all Harlequin Desire readers. Ms. Lee knows how to tell a story with a smart writing, funny moments, strong characters and nice reading pace.
