This is the first book in The Next Door Daddies series, it is a second chance/secret baby romance. Casper and Heather were each others first loves but Heather’s meddling snobby mother stopped that relationship in it’s tracks. Now, several years later, Casper is determined to win the woman who owns his heart. Can this couple overcome a secret marriage, secret baby and a secret billionaire company or will all the secrets become too much?
This is a fast-paced story, the storyline is interesting and quick to read. The characters are likable, unfortunately I found Heather’s back and forth a bit annoying but I got over that.
Heather decides to celebrate getting her dream job at Razor Industries with a few friends. Her best friend Ellie decides to inform her that Casper, the Ex-boyfriend that Heather has been forbidden to see by her mother, will be tagging along with them to Vegas as a chaperon. Even tho it has been years, the feelings Casper and Heather get when they are around each other is undeniable. Soon, one drink leads to a kissing, then to waking up together with a ring on their fingers. Heading home from Vegas, Casper is ready for their lives to begin together, but Heather wants to keep it a secret because of her mother and goes home to her instead. It is quite a surprise the next morning when she shows up at her new job only to find out the man she married actually owns Razor Ind. and is her boss. Will Heather be able to follow her heart and make this marriage real? What will happen when her mother finds out she married Casper and is pregnant?

Holy Bananas! Lauren Wood does such an amazing job writing! Casper and Heather truly belong together! If people would just stay out of the way, they’d probably never had to have gone through what they did! I couldn’t put this book down!

This is a love story with a kick rather it’s in the teeth by a spiteful mother or a steamy 1st time with a old flame you have carried a torch for since your teen years. Indeed they are perfect for each other now they only have to get past all the hurdles in their way. This is a easy read that has some spicy passion and with fingers crossed it will have a HEA ending.

Heather is starting a new job and her friends take her to Vegas to celebrate. Casper goes along to look out for them.
I got the distinct feeling that at 40 this book isn’t aimed at me, there also felt like there wasn’t enough of a back story for me to really care about the characters. I don’t like to be completely negative and it’s a sweet story it just needs expanded for me and the romance part wasn’t enough for me.

6 Stars–Excellent Story!
I loved this story line. The main characters quickly had me hooked until the very last page, which actually came to quick. The supporting characters were well placed and important to the story as well.
Heather and Casper were high school sweethearts who end up with a second chance at love. The author takes the reader on this journey showing us the angst, the tears, the pain of love lost, and the beauty of finding “the one” and beginning again.
This was a one sitting read for me. It could have been a bit longer and continued the story at least following Heather and Casper lives for a few more months. Read the book and you’ll see what I’m referring to. I’m giving this one a 6 STAR rating out of 5 just for ‘the feel good’ ending.
I love second chance romances. This is also the first book I read by this author and I enjoyed it. Some things I was confused about but as the story unfolded it started making more sense as to why Casper and Heather weren’t together. It did get me upset too because Heather had to grow into herself a lot in order to go after what she wanted. I love that Casper decided to go after what he wanted because in his heart he knew she was the one. I enjoyed reading their journey.

Casper and Heather were childhood sweethearts until Heather’s mother forced her to break it off. Heather listened to her mother but was still very much in love with Casper still.
Casper felt like his heart was breaking, but he never stopped loving Heather even when he was playing the playboy.
When Heather got a new job, she went to Vegas with her three best friends and Casper invited himself along as the chaperone.
Then on the third day, Heather and Casper woke up married to each other. They consummated their marriage and Casper discovered his wife was a virgin. When they got home, Heather was still living at home but by the time she was five months pregnant, Casper discovers her secret and he sets in motion how to get his wife home with him and out from under her mother’s influence.
Heather finally is free of her mother and they get their happily ever after.

Simple plot of boy wants girl, but girl won’t defy her parents or rather an overbearing mother. Fast forward six years later now boy is a secret billionaire and girl is still denying her feelings. Caspar is a great character and he still loves Heather after all this time, but he’s pulling out all the stops this time to convince Heather that he is worthy of her trust and love, but will Heather finally be able to stand up for herself.

Heather and Casper were higg school sweethearts, the perfect couple until her mother decided he wasn’t good enough and Heathers ended their relationship. Casper has always known that it was only Heather and now is the perfect opportunity for him to prove it.
The story line was great but I wish it was longer and filled out. The characters were well developed.

This book focuses on the romance of Casper and Heather. They were once high school sweethearts until Heather’s mom interfered. Casper, who is Heather’s neighbor, serves as a chaperone for Heather’s “girls trip” to Vegas prior to her starting her job with him. However, there are unexpected twists during the Vegas trip. The plot of this book is fun with unexpected situations occurring to the characters. This book is a well written, steamy, quick read, and has enjoyable characters. Lauren Wood has written another OUTSTANDING read! I strongly recommend this book.
