Title: Surprise, Baby!
Standalone Companion Novel to All About the D
Standalone Companion Novel to All About the D
Authors: Lex Martin & Leslie McAdam
Genre: Romantic Comedy/Adult Contemporary
Release Date: March 12, 2019
BLURB
There’s a fine line between lust and hate.
I don’t care that Drew Merritt spent the last year
transforming himself from grungy slob to sexy playboy. With messy, dirty blond
hair and gorgeous eyes, his looks aren’t the problem.
His mouth is.
And the stupid things that come out of it.
But after an emergency strands us together, and he does his
damnedest to take care of me…
Let’s just say there’s one thing we don’t clash on.
And it doesn’t involve talking.
I’ve despised Drew since I met him years ago. One weekend
can’t change us that much, can it?
Spoiler alert: It doesn’t.
Except he left me a little keepsake.
And in nine months, I’ll have a surprise for Portland’s most
notorious player.

Lots of Belly Laughs
Lex Martin and Leslie McAdam did a great job with their characters Kendall and Drew. While the blurb pretty much tells you what's going to happen, the book is hilarious from beginning to end with some serious thrown in here and there.
Kendall's independent spirit caught me right away. She wasn't afraid of the one-night stand or anybody knowing she had them, or one at least. She wasn't a slut, rather a girl that knew what she wanted and how to get it. However, the one thing she doesn't want is Drew.
Drew is the typically written rich, manwhore d-bag and I was loving every minute Kendall put him down. While we don't know the Drew of the past, just hearing about it made me not like him at first. It wasn't until his "settling down" revelation that I started to like him.
It took one weekend together for these two to change their minds on everything they thought about each other. Well, more her than him. Drew knew what he wanted but didn't know how to get it. He needed Kendall to see beyond his playboy past to what he is now.
The book is well written and a funny ride until the end. The crazy nicknames and misunderstandings along the way made it that much more enjoyable. Along with Drew and Kendall, we meet their friends and family. I really liked her parents and like Drew, his parents finally grew on me. Surprise Baby! reads as a standalone with a short epilogue to let us know how things are going.

ABOUT LEX MARTIN
Lex writes contemporary romance, the sexy kind with lotsa
angst, a whole lotta kissing, and the hot happily ever afters. When she's not
writing, she lives a parallel life as an English teacher.
She loves printing black and white photos, listening to
music on vinyl, and getting lost in a great book. Bitten by wanderlust,
she's lived all over the country but
currently resides in the City of Angels with her husband and twin daughters.
Lex is represented by Kimberly Brower of Brower Literary
& Management.
ABOUT LESLIE MCADAM
Leslie McAdam is a California girl who loves romance, Little
Dude, and well-defined abs. She lives in a drafty old farmhouse on a small
orange tree farm in Southern California with her husband and two small
children. Leslie always encourages her kids to be themselves - even if it means
letting her daughter wear leopard print from head to toe. An avid reader from a
young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it's
Top Gear. Or football. Leslie is employed by day but spends her nights writing
about the men you fantasize about. She's unapologetically sarcastic and
notoriously terrible at comma placement.
Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all
things. When she's not in the writing cave you'll find her fangirling over
Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of
outdoors on canvas.
