Review: Bombshell by Jen Frederick
SYNOPSIS:
My brain exploded at the supermarket. One minute I was arguing with my three-month-old about how many grapes she could stick in her tiny mouth and the next minute I was staring at the face of the father of my child.
The guy ghosted me after I told him I was pregnant. I sent him texts, called him and even posted a certified letter but received zero response. While he was down for the baby-making activities, he had zero desire to accept the consequences.
So I did what any other like-minded woman would’ve done in my position. I reached into my cart and started hurling things at him.
To my surprise, he not only paid for the damage but followed me home. Now, he’s telling me he never got my messages or my letter and that he’s ready to be a father.
He’s patching drywall, doing the laundry, and carrying the trash to the curb, and I’m remembering what it was like when he was loving me every night. A few heated stares and a few brushes of his hand against mine and my long-dormant female parts are roaring to life. Everyone’s going to think I’m a few French fries short of a Happy Meal if I let him back into my life, but my heart can’t keep asking what if…
REVIEW:
So in a weird plot twist, I’ve heard of Jen Frederick, met her, but this is my first book by her. Typical me, and thanks to the Read Me Romance podcast for pushing these books upon me. I enjoyed the story for the most part. It was refreshing to see a story not based solely on sex. There is an actual past and history between Kate and Jack, which adds some depth.
Anyways, Kate and Jack have a brief two months together before he ghosts her. Then she runs into him 10 months later and all the drama ensues. The drama was hilarious and light-hearted but I have peeves. Most of which are science based. Like the fact that she still has stitches 3 months after a C-section. The fact that the baby is only 3-5 months old over the duration of the story and is eating whole foods…its these little nuances that I wish weren’t overlooked.
For the most part I enjoyed the story. I like the reason why Jack left, I have a soft spot for that story line. I liked how quickly Kate and Jack were able to fall back into things and overall it left me wanting more. I will definitely be checking out more of Jen’s work in the future.
