J.P. Comeau has written a 5-star book that has Claudia dealing with being pregnant and with her business. Claudia came home to see her mother and she hooked up with her boyfriend from high-school and now she is pregnant. She is now coming home to see if she can find a new partner since she had to buy out her old one. The first person she sees when she pulls into her mom’s driveway is Zeke, her baby’s father. There is a storm and a tree branch falls on the top of her car and Zeke is the one who helps her out of the car. With all the pressure she is under, she is not very nice to him. Claudia doesn’t know if she is going to tell Zeke about the baby or not, she thinks that he is still the playboy he was after they split up. She thinks about the way she treated him and decides to go and tell him she is sorry for the way she acted towards him. Zeke asks her if she would go out to dinner with him and she says yes. Things go good and they start seeing each other again. The more she gets to know Zeke the more she falls for him. She has to go back to Paris for some business and she has decided to tell Zeke about the baby and asks if he would like to go to Paris with her. While there she lets Zeke sit in on some meetings she has just to see if he could be part of her business and her partner. The last night in Paris, Claudia tells Zeke that she is pregnant and he asks her how long she had known and if she was going to tell him. She told him that she did not think that when she found out, she did not think he would want to know. This did not go well for her and when they returned home they went their separate ways. After 3 days she calls him to see if they could talk and he tells her that he is going out of town and will be gone for a while. She thinks she has her answer as far as the baby and her go.
When Zeke realizes that he feels more for Claudia than he let on will it be to late for him?
Will Claudia go back to Paris without Zeke, or will she give him a second chance?
This was a wonderful book to read and I would recommend this book to anyone.

Is Claudia really the love of his life or is Zeke too afraid to commit?
Claudia and Zeke were high school sweethearts until Claudia moved to Paris to pursue her dream of design. It’s 10 years later and she’s back in town. They pretty much pick up where they left off and then Claudia returns to Paris. However when she returns this time she is two months pregnant with Zeke’s baby. She is unsure whether to tell him because he has always been a no responsibility, no relationship kind of guy and she doesn’t think he’s capable of raising a child. But this time it’s for real. They love each other and it’s the forever kind of love which scares Zeke to death, especially when he finds out about the baby. Talk about a freak out. Thank goodness everything works out in the end and Zeke realizes he can’t live without her. Beautifully written story of two people who are too afraid to tell each other of their love because they are afraid of the commitment but are so perfect for each other. But once they get all their fears and feelings out, it’s a fabulous happily ever after ending all the way around. An excellent book and I really, really enjoyed reading it.

I really enjoyed this book. At first I found Zeke a little intolerable. He is cocky irresistible but a bit of a bully to get her. I felt she was a walk over till she grew a spine and learnt the lay of the land so to speak. The writer’s development of the story was very well done I my view as wetter the characters. For Zeke to get a rise out of me, must be something good because I began to care about the characters and what happened to them. This was a good story.

If you like second chance books, then you will enjoy. I liked the approach of this second chance romance, with trying to keep your expectations on the low, but still hoping for the best. It was interesting to see the main characters deal with the changes in their lives and to confront some hard truths about themselves. The ending was poignant in showing them grow while closing past doors but looking to the future in a new ride.

I liked Zeke and Claudia’s story it was a good fun read and they were really good together there were enough twists to keep me reading right until the end. This was an enjoyable read.
Zeke and Claudia were neighbors in the Hamptons and dated secretly when in high school. Years later, Zeke remained the proverbial “Trust Fund” son, but Claudia has financial problems. Zeke has never worked a day in his life and is totally irresponsible. It remains to be seen if he can become the man Claudia needs. Good story and well portrayed characters. Good read!

As children, Zeke and Claudia, where neighbors, had an attraction for each other but moved away from each other. When she saw him again they had a night to remember. Playboy, billionaire Zeke never is with one lady to long, but Claudia is something more. He needs to grow up and she needs something more reliable. She has responsibilities that relies on her. Can they get this to work?

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Zeke was rich and had his own jet plane and motorcycle as well as a mansion. He has a night out with the boys(Nate, Riker) every Thursday night. Zeke did not stay with a woman more then a few weeks but he has been thinking about one woman for over a month and her name is Claudia that lived next door of him in high school. Zeke was told to take his jet to go see her or want until she comes back. Now would be the time to get the book. I will be getting more from this author. Thank You for writing the books so we can read them.
This is a great story with a great HEA. It is sweet and charming with all its beautiful creativity. At first I felt like Zeke was a little childish but as time moves forward we see him grow into a beautiful character. He is strong and intelligent but has no direction in life that needs a nice push. Claudia is sweet, with strength and intelligence. She is definitely a wonderful addition to the couple. The story itself is beautifully written and the flow of the story is superb. The support characters are fantastic and so much to the story. I loved Charles and his humor even in the mild for that he has. It is a must read and will not disappoint.
This is an adult read with sexual content and themes.
Zeke and Claudia have lived next door to each other since high school and during that time, they were together. But after graduation, Claudia went to college and became a model, later turning her experience into a fashion empire. Zeke on the other hand was born with a platinum spoon in his mouth and didn’t have to work for a living. Years have past when Claudia and Zeke reconnect. But all is not well in the Hamptons. While Zeke and Claudia form a tentative new relationship, Claudia is on the verge of losing her business and an unexpected health issue threatens her way of life.
The author has written a story revolving around wonderful characters and real-life business and personal problems. Offering a plethora of choices, the author allows this reader to sit on the sidelines while the characters sift through the issues that might keep them apart. Never fear, Zeke and Claudia find their HEA ending, and all is well that ends well. 5 stars.
Zeke and Claudia had been teenage neighbors who shared a relationship but parted as they got older. They reconnected several years later and Claudia became pregnant after one passionate night. She wasn’t sure that Zeke had matured and was ready to be a father so she hesitated telling him. Zeke claimed to love her, but he worked to prove his feelings for her.
This was a well written story that I enjoyed reading.

A great story! There are lots of secret baby books out there these days. But this has such likable characters that it kind of sets it apart from the rest of the pack. The storyline is solid and flows well. All of the characters are engaging and entertaining. It’s an easy 5 Stars from me.
Growing into Love
JP Comeau’s new entry in the tales of the Hampton Billionaires focuses on Zeke, the poster child for an adult playboy Peter Pan who lives an egocentric, trust funded life. His greatest worry is which Harley he will ride on any given day. Still cared for under the loving eye of the family retainer, Charles, who is a surrogate parent for the now orphaned adult, Zeke lives a full, but unchallenging life. He hangs out with his best friends, Riker and Nate, at the Hamptons’ Peak Club. But times are changing. Riker is recently and happily married with a great wife and really cute kids. And, while he has not really ever considered marriage, when Zeke’s mind drifts to marriage, he flashes back to his high school girl-next-door neighbor and secret love. Claudia Moore is the girl who grew-up, went to college and moved to Paris to pursue the family modeling and design business (and whose mom still looks at him with the evil eye).
Claudia Moore is pursuing a dream shared with her mother of designing and creating a unique brand of clothing. After college she moved to Paris where she was a part of a mother-daughter design team, modeling and promoting their brand. After her mom moved back to the Hamptons, Claudia partnered for financial and romantic ends with the handsome Leon. But, when Claudia discovered that her deceptive partner had mislead her romantically, the possibilities of a partnership, either financial or emotional, ended. Now she needs a new financial partner. When she was home six weeks ago, Claudia was hurt and vulnerable; it was natural to turn to Zeke, her former lover, whom she spotted across the connecting grounds. It seemed natural to renew and relive the easy connections of the past and to seek affirmation in his arms. What she did not expect were the consequences of that reunion—a baby, a baby with a man who didn’t seem responsible enough to care for a dog.
Now back home in the Hamptons to rethink and hopefully refinance the Moore designs, Claudia is lost—lost in past dreams and the very present arms of her high school love, Zeke, and lost in a world of self-doubt as she struggles to finance the life-long dreams of her parents, and now her dreams—the Moore design enterprise. Likewise, Zeke is struggling to reconcile his Peter Pan approach to life and relationships and his renewed—really never lost and now growing love for Claudia. But, can he change who he has allowed himself to become, the untethered motorcycle riding man-child, to be the man that Claudia needs?
JP Comeau’s sweet story of redemptive, healing and maturing love is well-paced with moments of life challenges and even risks balanced with the growing trust and love of the two central characters, offering both tension and satisfaction for the reader. I look forward to another opportunity to explore the worlds of Comeau’s creation when Comeau turns her literary pen to sort out the world on Nate, the third of the Hampton billionaires.
