Karen Booth is one of my favorites. You know you're reading an excellent author when the heroine takes a pregnancy test and you're biting your nails -- when the title is PREGNANT by the CEO :)

Pregnant by the Rival CEO Harlequin Desire Karen Booth 9780373734351 Books Reviews

Anna Langford is certain she can’t get pregnant. Her insides are badly scarred because of an appendectomy, literally choking off the possibility of conception unless she has surgery. She’s a busy career woman so she just hasn’t had time to schedule the needed operation. Thus, when she goes on a business trip with Jacob Lin, her brother’s one-time friend turned arch-nemesis, she tumbles into bed with him because a) she’s just looking for a hot time with a guy she’s had a major crush on…for years and b) she’s certain she can’t get pregnant.

And cue the sound of one hand clapping—against my face.

When the condom breaks during their sexy time, he’s suitably terrified. He does not want to have kids, nope, no way, no sirree bob, and she quickly picks up on his horror at the thought that he might have accidentally impregnated her. Then why does Anna go running to him when she learns that—surprise!—she actually did get pregnant? She thinks he has the right to know.

Um, no. Why do we go flinging around the word “right” all the time? The Constitution allows people only three basic civil rights—life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Everything else is gravy. According to the late great George Carlin, even those basic things are under question, since anything that can be taken away from you isn’t a right; it’s a privilege.

Anna learned from that first moment in bed with Jacob that he doesn’t want to be a father. So why tell him, especially since, at this point, she’s not even certain she can carry the baby to term? She can tell her brother, mother and the rest of her extensive family if she wants warmth and family concern. She’s got wealth and privilege so she doesn’t have to worry about money. Why get him mixed up if it’s not necessary?

But it’s not my story. It’s not reality at all. She went for a business meeting and had sex with him as an added bonus. She was certain pregnancy was virtually impossible except that it wasn’t. He didn’t want to be a father and then did an abrupt volte-face and decided that, hey, maybe fatherhood isn’t so bad. Anna wanted to be a business woman and a mommy and miraculously got both.

It’s good that Anna is a capable businesswoman although she had to wait for her brother to loosen the reins to make her a co-CEO. It’s great that she gets to have her cake and eat it too. I just prefer that the path to the requisite happy ending didn’t have such predictable stepping stones you could tread it blindfolded.
I was thrilled to see that Karen Booth was releasing another Harlequin Romance this month with Pregnant by the Rival CEO. As mentioned - it is another installment of the Langford family - this time focusing on Anna, Adam Langford's sister, whom we met in Karen's first book in this series (That Night with the CEO). I really enjoyed reading more about the Langford family, and the series gives the opportunity for the characters to become more developed with each book.

I settled in, knowing I'd scour the book lightning fast - Karen's books are page turners and I finish them in one sitting most of the time. This was no different - I found myself getting absorbed in the plot very quickly. After all, who can resist a story about falling for the rival - with an overpowering big brother to match. With the slightest shade of Romeo and Juliet in the mix along with some of the hottest scenes I've read in a while, I had no trouble staying focused on the book at hand. I thoroughly enjoyed reading a book where the main character was a strong woman, and she didn't fall for your typical white guy. I liked the sexual tension, as well as the family drama that plays out very well throughout the story. I think a lot of times, these books can have a tendency to be fairly formulaic and forget that they really do need to convey a well-planned story or they get boring, and I can assure you that Pregnant by the Rival CEO is NOT in that category. The plot is fine tuned without getting bogged down in the details, the sex scenes brought a flush to my face, and I really enjoyed the read! Grab it and enjoy!
I was definitely hooked on reading this book when I saw the title of this one! Right from the start, I knew there'd be an interesting premise in this book from Karen Booth.

Anna Langford (Adam Langford's sister from That Night With The CEO) has been interested in her brother's best friend Jacob Lin since ...forever. But a feud between Adam and Jacob put an end to anything that might happen between them.

Six years later, Anna decides to take a chance on Jacob, even though she knows it will cause problems with her brother. It doesn't take much for Anna and Jacob to end up in bed, and once they do, their continued relationship puts them at risk of losing it all. Business takeover rumors push things to a head, and well, things get rough for the lovely power couple. Oh, and I did I mention a surprise pregnancy?

Karen Booth does a skillful job of constructing a believable and very heart-warming situation between business rivals here and I loved that the most about this story. The beginning was a bit a slow for me, and it wasn't until these two get between the sheets that this story took off for me.

I liked how this story was connected to the previous release That Night With The CEO. Pregnant by the Rival CEO is a great addition to the Langford family story. I hope there will be more.

Overall, Pregnant by the Rival CEO is a sweet romantic story perfectly sized for an afternoon read.
