You never know what you have until it is slapping you in the rear end. I guess things did not have to go that far for Hannah. I am certain that in her life future she never imagined a younger man would make her world whole again and give her much more.
I found it sweet and adorable. I wanted deep and challenging. This was the perfect setting to make the real life issues and today's world make an impact on this particular romance. I enjoyed the read. I just wanted more.

He wasn’t what she was
expecting...
Derek Carmichael has harbored a secret crush on his best friend’s older sister for years, but she’s always been out of his reach. Now that Hannah is back in their hometown and newly single, suddenly the five-year age gap doesn’t seem so huge. But convincing her to see him as more than just the kid she used to know is another story.
Hannah Willmett can’t believe how grown-up Derek Carmichael has become. The troubled kid from her youth has turned into a sexy, successful TV celebrity, but Hannah’s wary of his player past and the rampant rumors connecting him to beautiful socialites. Still, she can’t help but give in when their attraction reaches a boiling point.
Trying to keep their fling a secret from her overprotective brother is one thing, but when Hannah finds herself unexpectedly expecting, her life is thrown upside down. She and Derek may be becoming parents together, but that’s no basis for a happily-ever-after.

“Hey,
pecan pie.” Derek beamed as he lifted the pie dish from the cooler. “You made
it for me?”
“Just
my way of saying thanks.”
“There
are other ways of saying thanks.” His gaze drifted to her lips, leaving her in
no doubt what he had in mind. “Ways just as sweet and tasty as pecan pie.”
Her
trigger-happy desire surged again as she imagined his lips on hers. “God,
Derek, I thought we were keeping things platonic.”
“I
thought so too, but you brought pecan pie.”
“Pecan
pie? That’s a turn on?”
“Well,
yeah. That, and those shorts you’re wearing.” His gaze lowered to the denim
cutoffs hugging her hips. “I think you put on those itty-bitty shorts on
purpose just to torture me, didn’t you?”
She
gulped. “It’s a hot day, and they were the only shorts I had.” Liar.
She had other, more modest shorts, but for some reason she’d chosen these
tight-fitting cutoffs with the frayed hem. Again, she blamed her subconscious.
He
snickered at her, and she knew she wasn’t fooling anyone. “You’re right. It is
a hot day. In fact, it’s so hot I think I need to do this.” He stretched his
arm behind his neck, gripped his T-shirt, and pulled it off in one swoop.
Tossing aside the T-shirt, he stretched out in the sun. “Ah, yeah. That feels
so much better.”
Her
mouth fell open, and she might have made a choking sound. Her eyeballs felt
like they were on stalks as she gawked at Derek’s naked torso. What a
magnificent sight. Sunlight bounced off his smooth pecs and bulging biceps. He
didn’t have an ounce of fat on him. Hard, broad shoulders narrowed to lean hips
showcased by his low-slung jeans.
He
rubbed his chest, drawing her attention to the trail of fine, dark hair that
tracked down the center of his body. “What’s the matter, babe?”
Babe.
Heat seeped through her pores. Just one “babe” from him, and she was already
melting.
“Uh,
n-nothing,” she managed to stutter. For the life of her, she still couldn’t
tear her eyes away from him.
“See
something you like?”
She
was almost panting now. Dammit, he was so devilishly tempting, but she was not
going to cave in.
“Yes,
I do.” She leaned toward him, slow and deliberate, until his eyes widened and
he licked his lips in anticipation. Then she stretched her arm across him,
brushing against his naked chest, and grabbed a bottle of iced tea. “This is
what I’d like.”
She
twisted the cap off and tipped a deep gulp of liquid down her throat. When she
lowered the bottle, Derek was grinning at her.
“Nice
move. You play hard.”
Her
blood fizzed like she’d drunk champagne. It was such fun teasing and flirting
with Derek. It made her realize she wasn’t old after all and that Derek brought
something out of her that no one else did.
“You
didn’t think I’d swoon at your feet just because you bared your chest, did
you?”
“A
guy can hope.”
