It was a cute book. Anything with babies involved is.

Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn is a stand alone novel in the Crazy Love series. I did not read the first book and it didn't detract from the story.
Usually boy meets girl, falls in love, gets married then have kids. In this case, boy hooks up with girl at wedding and knocks her up and doesn't see her again until she shows up to tell him he's going to be a father. To say that Braxton and Cara get off to a rocky start would be an understatement. They both have their demons from the past that are messing with their heads. Sometimes it would be great if the characters could tell the voices to shut the F up, would make for less drama, but alas some conflict makes for a better story.
Really liked the characters, would have liked to see more of where Cara went with her art, but maybe we'll see more from her in another book. Overall, great chemistry, good pacing and enough angst to keep you interested.

Stacey has pushed another good story out on this series. I liked these two in the background of the last book and am glad they got their own story. Both deserved to have a good tale begin.

Cara and Braxton have big hurdles to cross to get to their happy ending. Interfering parents with chips on their shoulders, a friend with jealousy issues, and a multitude of issues from growing up in broken homes or with self esteem problems. All add up to a mess of emotions and ends with tears of joy.

This is the first book I've read by author Stacey Lynn but it won't be my last. Maid of Honor Cara and Best Man Braxton share a hot and steamy hook up at their friend’s wedding. Forward six weeks later and Cara is staring at a positive pregnancy test. What follows is their journey getting to know one another amid the trials of pregnancy and becoming first time parents. A definite 4.5 stars and another author to add to my ever growing favorites list.

Cara and Braxton have a one night stand that results in her being "knocked up". Stunned by this development, Cara realizes she has to tell the father even if he isn't interested in helping raise the child. Braxton had a terrible childhood but has survived it due to a special mentor. He's successful now but that wasn't always the case. Cara also had an bad childhood and once she gets over the shock is looking forward to being a mom. Braxton and Cara want to create a loving family for their child. Sweet, sexy, romance.

I really enjoyed the romance between Braxton and Cara. There were times I thought Braxton was jerky but he has a good heart and makes up for his shortcomings. I thought that Braxton and Cara had great chemistry and were a great couple. This was a read that I'd recommend!

One night of passion after the wedding of their best friends leaves Cara and Braxton with more than just a hangover. Now pregnant the two need to figure out how the good girl and the bad tattoo covered boy can make it work. But although they both lead very different lives the chemistry is there and they find themselves falling in love. But can two very different people really get a relationship that ends with a HEA? With beautifully written characters and a storyline that keeps the reader’s attention from the opening pages this book was a great read that I highly recommend.

1.5 Stars

With a premise like this (knocked up by a one night stand who is also your best friend's husband's friend) you'd think there'd be plenty of story and angst without having to add the extra drama.

There was such pointless drama and angst and misunderstandings. I just wish there was an adult romance where we didn’t have to have any of these things. Or if it’s there at least it’s reasonable and they respond maturely.

The issues they went through, outside of navigating having a baby with a stranger (which was sadly rarely talked about), felt storybook to the numerous other contemporary romances I've read lately.

Overused scenarios:
Sad childhood (absentee or mean parents)
Death of a loved one
Recent ex-flame or someone trying to cause trouble
Man being really rich
Misunderstanding of one character’s night out with opposite sex

Unfortunately, I couldn't get myself to care for the characters nor the things that happened

Knocked up by Stacey Lynn is my first book by this author. I chose to read this book based on the description alone.
I absolutely LOVED this book! Definitely my favorite this year!
I have no complaints… start to finish… this book was amazing!
It’s about Cara and Braxton who have a one night stand at a mutual friend’s wedding. A month later, Cara finds out she is pregnant. A month after finding out she’s pregnant, she goes to Braxton’s place of business and tells him she is pregnant. Because of a misunderstanding, Braxton isn’t very nice to her even though he wants to help her as much as he can. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, we learn how attracted these two are and we ‘watch’ them fall in love.
Oh man! Read this book! Seriously!
I don’t want to ruin it for you. I read this book in one evening… that’s how good it is!

This was definitely a great book! It was really funny and super sexy!! This is Braxton and Cara story! It was very well written, I gave it four stars because its just not my favorite genre! Anyhoo braxton is a hot tattoo artist and cara was am artist of her own! I definitely recommend this book if the baby genre is your type of read! Thank you to netgalley and the publishers and author for sharing this book with me!!

Very cute, surprise pregnancy story, Braxton and Cara had terrible role models but some how they seem to be reasonably well adjusted if not a bit insecure. Poor Cara's parents were awful but lucky for her Braxton was a star.

4 stars!
Stacey Lynn is a go to author for me. I have read all her books. So, I know I was going to love this one!
Braxton and Cara, who we me in the first book in this series, had a weekend fling at their friend's weeding. Now, Cara is pregnant and needs to let Braxton know. She hasn't spoken to him since she snuck away from him after their weekend was over.

Braxton was disappointed when Cara left, and never contacted him. Now she is back with big news. I loved how sweet Braxton was throughout the entire story. He was such a sweetie, taking care of Cara. This was a cute story. I loved it and can't wait for the next book!

Oh my goodness, I loved this book! Only 2 chapters in I knew I was going to love it. Braxton and Cara were perfect, I loved both of them.. Braxton was downright swoon-worthy! There were alternate points of view, and I enjoyed getting things from both Cara and Braxton's point of views. Knocked Up is book 2 in the Crazy Love series, but I have not read the first one, Fake Wife. It didn't matter, Knocked Up reads as a standalone novel. It was my first book by this author, but it definitely will not be my last!

Cara and Braxton were the Maid of honor and Best Man at their friend’s wedding. They end up having a wild one night stand that ends with Cara freaking out and sneaking out on Braxton in the morning. Fast forward six weeks and Cara is staring at a positive pregnancy test. She goes to Braxton’s tattoo studio to let him know about the baby. After some initial shock and some misunderstandings, they decide to figure out how to co-parent. Braxton was born drug addicted, grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, but was saved by his surrogate father Irvine. Cara’s parents lavished love and praise on Cara’s twin but ignored and belittled her. Both of these characters need to work through their issues to work for their happily ever after. I loved both of the main characters and the growth of their relationship. I received an ARC of this book for my honest review.
