I know two things when I meet my new boss, Greyson Parker Montgomery III.
One, he’s an egomaniac. And two, we’re going to get naked.
Something I didn’t know? That I’d end up pregnant.
No one is more surprised by our off-the-charts chemistry than me. I’m a free spirit with a passion for design and a taste for the bohemian. Greyson is a cocky venture capitalist who’s as pretentious as his sharply cut power suits.
He owns half of Charleston, and has the other half at his beck and call. But the only place he owns me is in bed...or in the backseat of his car, boneless and begging for mercy.
We argue over contracts and costs all day long. Behind closed doors, however, we engage in a different kind of business. The kind that has me surrendering to his unique brand of dominance.
Our no-strings attached arrangement suits me just fine. Until I wake up one morning with what I think is a wicked hangover.
Only it’s not a hangover.
I thought Greyson was a typical “greed is good” grump. But when he demands to be involved in the life we accidentally created, I start to see a different side of him. One that’s more gentleman than jerk.Am I crazy to think we could be a family together? Or is making me fall for him just another one of his power plays?
SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN is a STANDALONE, full length, accidental pregnancy/enemies-to-lovers romance.
Review
First of all, I didn't want this book to end. I took my sweet time with it and savored every minute of it.
We have Greyson, who at the beginning seems like a big ol' jerk, but there's more to him that the facade he puts out for people. While he was rude and growly to Julia when he first met her, there was some serious sexual chemistry between them. Julia is a very independent woman who loves her romance books and teaches at a college, she's also a very talented designer and someone who won't put up with Greyson's attitude. Their impromptu romp in his truck ended up with Julia pregnant. Can a woman who has no time for the oops of life be responsible for a child, can a closed up guy who puts his career first be able to be there for Julia and his baby when they need him?
I LOVED this book, it comes to show you that while you might have your life figured out, destiny can throw you a curve ball out of nowhere. I also loved how real the storyline and these characters felt. While at the beginning Julia has a very hard time dealing with the idea of the baby, is Greyson who struggles the most, is also him who has the biggest transformation throughout the story. We understand why he is so prickly, somewhat detached, he definitely needed a woman like Julia to bring out the best of him.
While this is a standalone, the author has been doing a fantastic job by keeping this series and the characters cohesive. This is a beautiful story full of heart, funny moments, and more importantly about forgiving yourself and living the life you were meant to have.
