Rule #1: Always wear a condom.Rule #2: Always leave them wanting more.Rule #3: Always man up. Erica Roberts was the maid of honor in my brother’s wedding and my next conquest. She was tone, tan, and sweet as pie. I should’ve known I’d end up breaking her heart. Still, against my better judgement I took her, giving us both the best night of our lives. When I woke up the next morning she was gone, … When I woke up the next morning she was gone, not a trace of what had happened between us, and I realized then I broke my number one rule: Always use a condom.
Two months later I get a text telling me I’m going to be a father. I feel a number of emotions, elation, fear, excitement, anger, but then she drops the biggest bomb on me. She says she doesn’t need me or want me. Now I’ve got to do whatever I can to keep us from falling apart. She doesn’t think I want the baby or can be a good father, while she’s about to find out just the kind of man I am.

This Book 2 of the Breaking The Rules Series is very well written. The characters are believable and you feel as if you know them. You feel them grow and also seem to know how they are feeling. This is a very good story of second chances and learning what is important. Loved this must read book

Love this book. Is a nice cute story
Erica and rhett are very much different in alot of ways.
They meet and just something sparks but neither is quite fond of their attraction.
Cute story and great read.
Love me a secret baby romance. 4.5 star read.
Erica was a bit annoying to me. I didn’t like how she treated Rhett when she first told him about the baby. I wanted to reach in and shake some sense into her.
I loved Rhett. He may have been a player but as soon as he found out about the baby he stepped up. He was sweet to Erica.
Overall I really enjoyed the book. It was a cute read!
This was an enjoyable quick story. If you are looking for an accidental pregnancy story this is a great one! It doesn’t have a deep raw emotional story but despite that it is still a good read.
Babies & Promises by Jenna Reed (Cassandra Hallman and J.L. Beck)
4 STARS
Babies & Promises is a full-length standalone novel by author Jenna Reed a.k.a Cassandra Hallman and J.L. Beck.
The novel tells the story of Erica and Rhett.
Erica’s best friend, Sofia is getting married, so obviously, Erica being her best friend gets to be her maid of honor. Cody’s brother’s first man is none other than his brother, Rhett the manwhore.
Erica is a good girl. She is a teacher, she doesn’t have a social life and many friends. She is an independent woman. She likes her life the way it is. The exact opposite of Rhett.
But the attraction between them is too powerful.
Although Erica was warned about Rhett and his behavior, she can’t stay away from him and she wants to see if everything she heard about Rhett is true.
He is gorgeous, he is a player and he has a reputation to satisfy the woman he is with. He also has a ”special” view about marriage. He loves his bachelor’s life way too much.
They run away from the wedding and they spent a ”one nightstand”. The next day everyone should be happy. But only then, they realize that they didn’t use a condom.
What can really happen if you don’t use a condom?!
If the girl is on the pill and you trust her to be clean?
It’s been two months since the incredible one nightstand. Erica still thinks of Rhett, and Rhett still thinks of Erica. None of them thought that they will have to meet again and in this circumstance.
Rhett is a man, and he lives after three rules, the third being ” Always man up ” and so he does exactly that. Only he didn’t expect to be so difficult. That it would be so hard to convince Erica.
Being a parent, neither Erica nor Rhett expected, but they have to make things work.
Babies & Promises is a little different than I was used to from these two amazing authors. It was good, sweet, emotional and very easy to read.
Rhett was amazing. He was a great man, a man every girl/woman would want. Immediately he wanted to take responsibility for his mistake.
Erica , in my opinion, was very stubborn, but being pregnant and seeing how her life was messed up in just one night, a night of pleasure and passion, the greatest night of her life, I understand her.
So…..if you are looking for something easy, sweet and emotional to read, this book is the one for you
Such a wonderful heartwarming story!! Great feel good book!!
A cute story about a one night stand that leads to a surprise baby. I love that Rhett mans up and slowly convinces Erica that he is the man for her. An enjoyable story!!
This is the 2nd book in this awesome series and is Erica and Rhett’s story. Rhett is a typical bad boy womanizer who ends up having a one nights stand with the bridesmaid at his brothers wedding. When Erica contacts him to inform him that he is going to become a dad, this schoolteacher is adamant that she can do everything on her own and does not need him. This is a beautifully written story which is filled with angst, emotion and love. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend for all.
Babies & Promises is about two people who just want to have a one night stand, no strings and no promises. Rhett doesn’t do relationships and Erica just wants to have fun but after one night together they get a special little surprise. This is a well written unexpected love story with believable characters and a great ending.
Erica and Rhett hook up at a wedding and she disappears before he wakes up the next day. Not long after their night together she learns that she’s pregnant and sends him a text letting him know. She doesn’t expect anything of him just wanted to let him know of the baby’s existence. Erica feels like she can handle anything on her own but she never expected Rhett to show up. Rhett wants to be involved in every way so he wants to show Erica that he is the man for her and their baby. The more time they spend together the better their connection to each other becomes. Will they admit that they want to be together as a family?
This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

After a one night stand Rhett and Erica find themselves with much more memories other the one from that night. These two are total opposites who are brought together again by a positive pregnancy test and Rhett is determined to show Erica there’s more to him then she thinks
* KU Read
I enjoyed this shorter story about an oopsie baby between two people that have a wedding one nightstand. Now they both have to decide if they are going to raise the child together or co-parent. Babies & Promises is an almost real-life story of what happens in the world everyday.
I am excited to see what the next story brings us.
An enjoyable romance read! I loved Rhett and Erica’s character they sizzled together. I found them to be relatable and likable with the many emotions they go through that made them real. An easy to read storyline with enough drama and lots of heat level from start to finish. I can’t wait for the next story in this series that doesn’t disappoint.
The Maid of Honor and the Best Man can’t wait until the reception is over to sneak off and make passionate love. Then she walks out treating it as a one night stand and he wants more. Two months later he gets a call, she is pregnant and she still wants nothing to do with him. He has thought of her often, he determines that whether she wants him or not he will be a good dad to his child. He does everything to prepare even when he is scared he is failing, his dedication makes this a wonderful story and he wins the girl in the end.

Babies and Promises is a sweet, feel good read.
After having a hot and pleasurable one night stand, Erica finds herself pregnant. Not only is she NOT ready to have children, but the father of her child is none other than Rhett, the glorious playboy.
I really enjoyed reading Rhett and Erica’s story. The characters growth throughout the story really made me happy and excited for them.
I can’t wait to read what’s next in this series.
This was such a great read. I absolutely loved it. It was sweet, sexy, steamy, and some twists thrown in. Rhett and Erica have seen each other a couple times before his brother and her best friend’s wedding. Tonight they decide to take things further and have one heck of a hot and steamy night. They were both planning on it being one night as neither want a relationship. Erica is starting her career and Rhett is a playboy. Neither one can forget that night, especially Rhett. When Erica becomes pregnant, Rhett promises to be there for her and the baby. She doesn’t believe him. Erica thinks he will just run as soon as the novelty wears off. Will Rhett be able to prove to Erica that he really will be there for them, and won’t take off and run? I absolutely loved these two. There were times when I wanted to knock Erica upside the head, but I do understand why she acted how she did. This is such a great storyline with some outstanding characters. Grab this up quick.
Rhett has his steadfast rules: Rule #1: Always wear a condom. Rule #2: Always leave them wanting more.Rule #3: Always man up and he broke rule #1 the night of his brother’s wedding when he had a one night stand with Erica, the maid of honor. When he woke up she was gone and every trace of her as well.
Then he receives a text from her a couple months later telling him he’s going to be a father. She proceeds to tell him that she doesn’t need him or want his help, but he isn’t about to break another rule and not man up and take responsibility. He’s determined to do whatever necessary to show her he wants the baby and her in his life and that he can be a good dad.
A really good story that has great characters that have definite chemistry. An enjoyable read.

The best man hooks up with the bridesmaid only with a bonus gift coming nine months later
*** 3 1/2 Stars ***
Babies & Promises is an interesting but difficult book for me to get into. It is the story Erica and Rhett. At his brothers wedding he is told to stay away from his new sister in laws best friend Erica. But it seems Rhett is a real loose cannon when it comes to woman and he pursues just about anything and everything with the mentality of have some fun and be done. So what does a man do when there is an off-limits sign put in his way………….ignore it all together. At the wedding Rhett and Erica flirt outrageously and end up leaving together. They have a one night stand but it seems he forgot to use some protection and now there is a little bonus gift from the wedding.
While Erica was more than able to go it alone she did let him know about the pregnancy. Now he is determined to be a good daddy and get Erica to fall for him. However, how can you trust a man that forgets you exist after one night together and has a reputation for being a bed hopping bad boy. Erica is going to have to decide if she can trust Rhett either to have him in her and/or the baby’s life.
So I had a hard time with a couple of things in the story-line. But I am going to keep those to myself so everyone else can make up their own mind. Overall the story is well written and entertaining.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
I had a really hard time getting into this story. It ended up being okay overall and I managed to warm up to characters. But at first I really struggled with it and even considered to not finish it.
Rhett and Erica were both hard to like characters for me. Rhett is used to one night stands so he jumps at the chance to hook up with Erica at his brother’s wedding. Their one night stand turned into a surprise pregnancy.
I started to like the story better once Rhett found out about the pregnancy and they started to build a relationship. I also liked the growth in Rhett’s character. There was a nice HEA in the end.
