Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.
Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible . . . but will it lead to a connection of the heart?
Lizzy has been in the series since Book Two, Mal's story who is with her older sister Anne who has basically raised Lizzy her whole life.
When Lizzy first meets Ben she's instantly attracted to him, but Mal and Anne warn Ben to stay away.
Not concerned that Ben will betray his bestfriend they don't see what Ben and Lizzy are doing behind their backs.
Lizzy and Ben become friends as such via text messaging. Nothing more. But you can't help but feel their feelings through them and when he picks her up once from a bar he warned her not to go to. So when they see each other at her sisters wedding he takes her back to her room, where the two share a night together. I didn't know any of this until reading the book as in the previous two books the characters haven't really shown that much of an interest in each other. There is a part in Jimmy's story where she storms out after a comment Ben say's, but that's it.
I didn't like Ben after the stunt he pulled in the first novel Lick. His sister is the one that was previously in a relationship with David, but cheated on him with his own brother Jimmy. So when they find out he's married, Ben helps his sister break them apart. I didn't like him for that, it was a dick move.
Anyway. Lizzy ends up pregnant and the news comes out in the worst way possible. It's actually Ben's date that shares the news. Funny? Yes!!
When Ben finds out he's not happy, but he wants to pay for the baby, which is another dick move.
I never really felt the connection between him and Lizzy. Yes, I could feel the want with Lizzy, but not the why she felt the way she did because he had been nothing but a selfish dick. When she's sick and has to stay in bed with a doctor on standby he's across the country playing music and only sending her far apart texted messages. I could have screamed. If that didn't shout unemotionally Involved then I don't know what does.
I suppose the book is about Lizzy searching for something in Ben, the truth to why he is the way he is.
But when his sister returns and demands Lizzy sign a contract, basically paying Lizzy off all hell breaks loose. What I don't get is the fact Lizzy, not once, ever asked for anything of Ben apart from himself. Then his sister, who he's basically supported with high cost clothes and living since he become famous walks back into his life and demands that Lizzy, out of both of them, sign the contract.
To me that would have been the end of it for me. I hated Ben before, but that took the piss. Excuse my french.
Nothing is thrown back at his sister and all I wanted was for her to have a taste of her own medicine.
It's a HEA but I just didn't feel it and I'd been looking forward to their story as soon as I found out they were having one. It really disappointed me. Not at all like the other three previous books where the men live and breathe their women.
