This is a Medical Romance. I have to say the writing style of this book was not my favorite. I also do not fill the characters where really developed. This storyline was a simple one, but it was not done very well. This is a short quick read. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Medical Romance) or author (Tina Beckett) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Who are Kaleb and Snowden? What vow is made between them and why? What is the harsh discussion we find them having at the beginning of the story? Where are they from or at? What do they each do for a living? Who is Nicola? How does Kaleb meet her? What does she do for a living? Why did she leave her previous job? Oh, things get interesting for each of them at work. How and why? What does Nicola learn less than two months into her new job? What happens at dinner? Oh, goodness, that was almost an utter disaster for Nicola! Read to see how this ends! I really enjoyed this story!

Good book. Kaleb is a man who has been burned by love - twice. Two broken engagements have convinced him that love isn't for him. He and his best friend, Snowden, who has just gone through a divorce, have made a pact to that effect - keep love out of any relationship. When one of his medical cases goes sour, Kaleb relieves his pain with a woman he picks up at a bar and whom he never expects to see again. Too bad he can't forget her.

Nicola was having a horrible day. The end of her engagement and her brother's death hit her hard, and she went to the bar looking for a way to forget. She found it in Kaleb but was horrified by what she'd done and snuck away the next morning. She still thinks about that night.

Imagine their surprise when they discover they now work in the same hospital. When Nicola "met" Kaleb, she pretended that she didn't know him rather than admit their acquaintance in front of the hospital administrator. Kaleb's ego took a hit when it appeared she didn't remember him but told himself it made things easier. I loved the scene where Nicola assisted on the possible eye tumor, and Kaleb ran interference between her and the other doctor, then later talks to her about attitudes. I loved his interest in her methods and how a tentative friendship started between them, all while ignoring the elephant in the room and the attraction that neither will admit.

That elephant got a lot bigger when Nicola discovered she was pregnant. She knew she had to tell Kaleb, but that meant admitting she remembered their night together. That admission triggered an unexpected burst of passion that made the following conversation a bit more complicated. Kaleb was stunned by the news, especially considering his earlier vow, but immediately let Nicola know that he planned to be involved. I loved how they talked honestly with each other about expectations. Both believe that they are not interested in a relationship but can work together to parent effectively. There are some terrific scenes of them spending time together talking. There is also an especially emotional scene where they both consult on the case of a newborn baby.

Things come to a head after dinner with Nicola's parents. I loved how comfortable Kaleb was with them. The byplay between Kaleb and Nicola during the dinner was unexpected and led to steamy after-dinner actions. It was also a wake-up call for Kaleb, who realized that he wanted Nicola in his life. However, remembering his pact with Snowden causes Kaleb to behave in a boneheaded way. I ached for Nicola, who had accepted her feelings for Kaleb, and was hurt by his lukewarm proposition. I just shook my head at Kaleb's confusion and dismay and laughed as he was set straight by Snowden of all people. Meanwhile, Nicola uses an unusual method to reach some conclusions of her own. I loved the ending, especially when Nicola revealed her method and its focus. I'm looking forward to Snowden's story.

This is Nicola and Kaleb’s story. They had a one night stand. They find out they’re colleagues at the hospital. Nicola finds out she is pregnant. They try to navigate their relationship. Love finally wins the day.

This was a quick read and satisfied my “accidental pregnancy” and happily ever after craving. This was my first medical romance and I thought it was ironic that she gets pregnant by accident. You would think a doctor would take extra precautions.
