This anniversary edition of 'Maybe Baby’ has been condensed from the original book to accommodate those readers who prefer a shorter read. Since the original book was released without fanfare, many readers weren't aware of this wonderful story and the continuation of it in the rest of the Baby Series Lite!

Spirited and independent, Tylar proves to be a challenge to the stubborn and unyielding young lawyer. Together their often bumpy journey weaves itself mysteriously, comically, passionately and erotically down a path that promises to engage and move the reader in this emotionally stirring story.
For anyone who has ever been in love or in lust, 'Maybe Baby Lite' will stir those forgotten feelings of passion and emotion within you; making you ageless as you travel the romantic and erotic journey with Tylar and Trey unraveling the secrets of their past.
This book is intended for mature audiences.
My Thoughts:
Maybe Baby Lite was an addictive rollercoaster ride full of chemistry, fiery hot sex, and plenty of drama.
Tylar Preston is a college student paying her way by working
at Sinclair Stables with their horses. Since
she’s left home for college she’s been having more and more troubling dreams
that call her recollection of her upbringing and her mother into question. If what she dreams is actually true, her
mother is one NASTY piece of work!
While walking one of Sinclair Stables’ prize stallions,
Tylar runs into the intense Trey Sinclair, who is not happy at all that she has his horse. Color her surprised when after a swimming accident
where she almost dies, Trey’s the one she wakes up to and he won’t leave her
side. After witnessing Tylar’s accident
and her countless nightmares in the hospital, Trey’s protective instincts come
out in full force. And I do mean FULL
force! Some of this is not a bad thing because after being released, Tylar
starts getting threats from her past, and she needs someone looking out for
her!
There is a lot of back and forth with Tylar and Trey because
they really push each other’s buttons.
He goes all crazy-alpha-controller, way over board with his
protectiveness, and she responds by acting out and pushing him over the edge
even more! She is only twenty and her
immaturity shows on more than one occasion, but these two are like crack for
each other and they can’t stay away. Trey
is ultra possessive with statements
like this:
He whispered softly in my ear, “You’re mine, Tylar. Don’t ever forget
that. You’re mine.”
Yet he’s reluctant to make a full on commitment, which,
understandably rubbed Tylar the wrong way. I was happy that Tylar didn’t just
take this sort of treatment. The intense
feelings these two have for each other makes for irrational actions on both
sides. So, yeah, lots of back and forth,
but thankfully none of the drama lasts for too long. You’ll want to read this with a fan close by
because there are fiery HOT scenes a-plenty!
“You’re f**king insatiable, Tylar.”
“What do you plan on doing about that, Trey?” I asked, arching my
eyebrow seductively.
And on, and on, and on it goes…Seriously, tip of the
iceberg!
Tylar’s mother made me really wish I could strangle a
fictional character! Hateful, horrible,
disgusting woman! Fortunately, we get to
know her mostly through flashbacks and nightmares. Unfortunately, with that
ending scene, I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of her.
This was a highly addictive story with writing that sort of
reminded me of the informal and rambling nature you’d find in a Kristen Ashely
novel. That is a compliment because I
love her writing. Maybe Baby Lite
left Tylar and Trey in a really good place, soaring high from happiness, but
their story is far from over. I’m sure
more drama is on the horizon and I can’t wait for all the twists and turns
ahead!

Well, the Kristen Ashley comparison obviously caught my attention! I consider that a compliment too.
ReplyDeleteThe idea behind the "lite" version is interesting. And it doesn't seem like something I would seek out, but your review convinced me otherwise, Rachel!
this book looks amazing, i can't wait to read it. :)
