This is not how she pictured her life

Pregnant, single and no prospect for love. How's a globe-trotting freelance photographer like Carey Langford supposed to cope? Well, love will just have to wait while she focuses on her baby and getting through this pregnancy alone.

But not completely alone. Thank God for Devin Colyer, her best friend since high school.

And Devin's really trying to be there for Carey. In fact, he just might be falling in love with his good buddy. If only he could get past the fact that she's gotten herself pregnant by the man he hates most in the world.

Carey's broken up with her boyfriend, Jarrod, when she unexpectedly carrying his baby. Her best friend Devin, Jarrod's cousin, doesn't get along with Jarrod, and never felt his cousin was good enough for Carey. As a matter of fact, he's come to the conclusion the man he'd like to see Cary with is...himself. But is he man enough to take his cousin's baby and raise it as his own?

Love is complicated enough, but Carey and Devin's relationship has to navigate more than its share of pitfalls. Can love win out?

Knupp's first book is a wonderful story that left me anxious for her next release.

This review is from: Unexpected Complication : 9 Months Later (Harlequin SuperRomance No. 1342) (Mass Market Paperback)

After breaking it off with boyfriend Jerod a month earlier, photographer Carey discovers that she's pregnant and returns to her Iowa roots. Though she knows there is no future with Jerod, she decides to keep the baby and debates on whether to tell him about it. She reluctantly confides in her best friend Devin, who happens to be Jerod's cousin, and the cousins have a real love-hate relationship. Devin has also had an unrequited crush on Carey since high school, but she has never seen him as more than a friend.

As her pregnancy develops, so do her feelings for Devin. Seeing this as a last opportunity to get together with the woman he has worshipped for years, Devin must struggle with whether his love for Carey outweighs his hatred for his cousin, and whether he could accept the other man's child as his own.

"Unexpected Complication" is an unexpected pleasure. A "superromance" with a developed plot and back story, it's packs an emotional wallop that'll tug at your heartstrings.

This review is from: Unexpected Complication (Harlequin Large Print Super Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

International freelance photographer Carey Langford is back home in Iowa pregnant with no boyfriend having ended her relationship with Jerod last month. She debates with herself who she should tell, but rules out everyone except her long time best friend Devin Colyer, Jerod's cousin.

However, she even hesitates turning to Devin because she knows he hates Jerod. Still she needs to confide in someone so she tells Devin. After the initial shock passes, Devin, who has loved Carey since high school and would do almost anything for her, has problems with the fact that she is carrying Jerod's child. Still this is his beloved and he must decide whether to tell her how he feels, which also means loving someone else's offspring or losing his last opportunity with Carey.

The relationship between Carey and Devin make this an interesting character study with a strong romantic subplot. Devin has always wanted Carey, but she has always seen him as a close friend. Now he has an opportunity to be more, but has doubts about raising someone else's child, especially the offspring of a person he loathes. Fans will enjoy watching his actions and reactions towards the woman he loves and the innocent unborn she carries. Amy Knupp provides a fascinating relationship drama.
