A busy single-mom. A laid-back bachelor. One unforgettable night that changes their friendship—and their lives—forever . . .

Single-mom Rebecca Hayes has been so focused on raising her daughter and building her finance career, she’s not sure she even remembers how to date. The only man she’s been out with is Jackson, her very close—and very attractive—friend. But Becca isn’t getting her hopes up after they crossed the line one memorable night—she knows Jackson too well. So when she discovers she’s pregnant with his baby, Becca isn’t sure she can count on Jackson anymore . . .

Fatherhood isn’t something Jackson Lowe saw for himself. He figured he’d just keep working at his family's landscaping business, surfing and being a happily unattached bachelor. But in his heart, he longs to build a family with Rebecca—his secret crush and the real reason he never settled down. He’s got a lot of work to do before she’ll believe he’s all in. He’s been the man Becca wants. Now, Jackson has to prove he’s ready to be the man she needs.

Rebecca is a single mother who is really focused on her child and keeping her life as stable as possible that she really doesn't have time to date. When she spends one night with her best friend Jackson, were there is no strings attached it came with unexpected consequences where now she's pregnant. Jackson is it's a very free guy who isn't interested in being tied down he just wants to surf his days away but his father landscaping business is really trying to settle him down. Now with the new of a baby on the way he's got a lot of decisions to make about the future he didn't care to plan for. 

So this is a pretty slow read for me. I really enjoyed it though. I liked getting to know the characters from their perspectives and seeing how this news was really going to impact their lives. I mean Jackson just wants to do his job and surf and enjoy himself he really wasn't thinking much for the future and very much into the now. Rebecca is a responsible mother doing every everything she can to care for her daughter and virtually the opposite of Jackson. But now that they have this baby on the way decisions must be made and Rebecca is already going through the single mother this without the others help and now she's going to have another with a guy who doesn't seem to want to settle down naturally she's concerned about the future. It was interesting seeing how this book played out though and how they worked through what life handed them. Pretty good book I enjoyed it.
