Romance novelist Brandy Jackson is not a one-night-stand kind of girl, but with Maximillian Benton, she’s willing to make an exception. Big mistake. Turns out, the charming, handsome man with a sexy British accent is a jerk who’s only interested in laying claim to Landon Castle, the inheritance Brandy received when her beloved grandmother died. But apparently through a cheating attorney, the … castle was purchased at auction by Max. When a judge orders them to both live at the castle until the legal matter is resolved, Brandy reluctantly agrees. As big as the castle is, it turns out to be too small for her and Max, who find themselves spending more and more time together. And even though Brandy knows Max isn’t her happily-ever-after, when the heat becomes too much she still gives in to her passion. Bigger mistake. Now she’s pregnant.
Max’s motives for wanting the castle are simple: revenge. A billionaire software designer, Max was swindled by the man who owned the castle, and now it’s sweet payback owning the thing his nemesis loved most. So when his plans are sent awry by a pretty American, he has no choice but to dig in his heels and make sure the castle remains his. Max tries, rather desperately, to ignore his attraction to Brandy and the way his heart expands whenever they’re together. Despite his cynicism about love, he can’t help wondering if Brandy might be different from all the other women he’s met. But when he believes he’s been duped by her sweet smile and sexy body, Max all too readily decides ending what they have is for the best. Happily ever after just isn’t for him. But he can’t shake the feeling he may have lost the best thing in his life…

A hopeful sweetheart and the jaded cynic
I really enjoyed reading The Tycoon’s Pregnant Lover by Leslie North. The book itself is very well written, but the characters are what held my interest and attention.
As with most romance book couples, these two share similarities as well as opposition. What makes these two so interesting is the opposition and their unexpected antagonism – the castle.
After their anonymous amorous night, Brandy and Max become essentially enemies. An interesting ruling by a Judge places them in constant proximity and creates opportunities for these two to explore the Castle that has them in contention, but each other as well.
While exploring, assumptions are made, communication fails and separation occurs. Neither is perfect, the past having influenced how they engage with one another, but all is not lost despite how it may seem.
Overall, a well written and engaging story that leads to Max and Brandy getting a really wonderful HEA that includes a beautiful surprise for them both.
I read an ARC of this book from Hidden Gems and voluntarily share my review.
This is a story with leading characters from both sides of the Atlantic, which is a refreshing theme to read about. The story is just plain good. The storyline is good, the characters are very well written out and not just the leading characters, but also the assisting ones. Overall the story is quite good to read and not long enough to take a full day to read but manageale in an eveing or so. This story deserves the fantastic four stars I am giving it here.
