Publisher's summary

One-night stand + two percent condom failure rate = happily ever after?

Bar owner Kevin Kowalski is used to women throwing their phone numbers at him, but lately he's more interested in finding a woman to settle down with. A woman like Beth Hansen. If only their first meeting hadn't gone so badly....

Beth's tending bar at a wedding when she comes face-to-face with a tuxedo-clad man she never thought she'd see again. She tries to keep her distance from Kevin but, by last call, she can't say no to his too-blue eyes or the invitation back to his room. Then she slips out before breakfast without leaving a note and, despite their precautions, pregnant.

Kevin quickly warms to the idea of being a dad and to seeing where things go with Beth. After all, he's not the player she thinks he is. But she's not ready for a relationship and, given his reputation, it's going to take a lot to convince her to go on a second date with the father of her child.

Enjoyable

Enjoyable light read. Good for a rainy day, or a weekend read. It is a love story contemporary.
Nothing too deep. Nothing too depressing. Interesting people, interesting story.

Loved this easy read!

This book had several characters shared with her other books. It was fun and light to listen too.

So So...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The female lead Beth was just a bit to "out there" for me. It was hard to see what Kevin really saw in her and why he would fall in love with her. And, Kevin was just too nice, understanding, tolerant, hunky and so on.

What does Lauren Fortgang bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She was able to breathe some life into Beth.

Was Undeniably Yours worth the listening time?

Only to fill in the rest of the Kowalski family story.

Any additional comments?

I hesitated in buying this book based upon other reviews so, I wasn't surprised when I didn't enjoy it as much as the other books in the series.

Trite - mediocre

This is a trite and average book. The characters are shallow. The story is juvenile and predictable. Not something I would ever want to listen to again.

good story, good narration

It isn't the best book I've ever ready, it isn't the worst. It was a fun rompy romance, with tons of love and not alot of sex which I really liked.

Great Read!

My first book by this author.. and I'm hooked! Try Undeniably Yours.. also.. an amazing book..

Typical Harlequin

Romance:
Audio book version: Good narration by Lauren Fortgang

As with most Harlequin romance books, this is light and typical. But, I still loved it. The characters were well developed and likeable. I did get a little frustrated with the stubborn thinking of the main female character, Beth. But that was a big part of the story line. I knew it would end well. Unrealistic story, but isn't that part of being taken away into the unreal world of book reading?

Beth The Stubborn

This is one of those accidentally pregnant books. They hooked up, they used protection, it failed, she's pregnant- now what? Well, if you're Kevin, you're okay with this turn of events. It's not how you expected things to turn out but having a baby with a beautiful woman that you want to explore a relationship with isn't so bad. You're ready for more in your life and want to take care of Beth and the baby.

If you're Beth, you're stubborn about it. You're pregnant and the father is a great guy who's trying to build something with you. Even though he tries to help you by making things easier and taking some of the stress off your shoulders, you fight him on every little thing. You're too independent to accept any help, even though he's the father. I mean, women are always giving him their numbers and he never outright refuses them. He just tosses them in a bowl so that his friends can laugh at the notes later. He doesn't call any of those Tramps but he must be a player because he owns a bar and women hit on him. As Beth, you complicate things.

As you can see, Beth irritated me. The story wasn't so bad but she really annoyed me a few too many times. However, Kevin was great. I also enjoyed the little side story with Sam and Paulie. I'm still interested in reading more from the Kowalski family, I just wasn't a fan of Beth.

Repetitive and frustrating

I like the family and all the background stories but geez, this one was so frustrating. Beth was unjustifiably stubborn and selfish the entire book. Going through the same issue over and over and over again. And her reasoning wasn't even solid, whining because her parents love her too much, seriously? Then because she was afraid Kevin might love her? For over 7 hours!!??? There's only so much readers can take. And if you do suffer through it all, the two second resolution at the end is so unsatisfying. No character growth or redemption, nothing. Instead of the feel good pick me up, it's just left me angry that she still gets the guy. I wish I had saved myself the pain and just listened to the first two chapters then skipped to the end.

Undeniably Yours! Awesome book

Loved it!!
Really enjoyed listening to this.
My cup of tea for sureXxxxx
