Thoughts: I was not expecting the reason for the disappearance and honestly, it made it into such a great book due to its unique twist. Definitely recommend it and will be rereading it.

I was expecting an actual book (that's on me, I should have read the description better) but what that meant is that instead I read 7 chapters going from 0-100 by chapter 2.

I actually found the concept interesting and would have loved a an actual fleshed out book.

At least it's got me closer to my reading goal.

I'm normally a Jen Frederick fan, and remember how much I liked Gridiron so I know I'm here for the full length books

I listened to this from the ReadMeRomance podcast and really enjoyed it. This was the first book of that I read by this author. This is kind of a second chance romance and a secret baby but done really well with a twist!

I initially didn't think I would like this books since Kate's name isn't given right away which annoyed me. Then there a few other things that bothered me but in the end I really enjoyed the story after it started to unfold in day 2-5.

I read Bombshell by Jen Frederick as part of the Read me Romance podcast. If you're not listening to this podcast, you seriously need to start. It's so much fun and you get to try new genres of romance for FREE! Bombshell was something new to be. I don't think I have read any secret baby romances so it was fun to jump into a new genre and try it out. This story was quick, cute, and extremely steamy. The characters were interesting and I immediately loved the main characters. The heroine was so likable & some of the scenes were hilarious!

All in all, this was a good book and I'm definitely adding Jen Frederick to my list of authors I need to read more from.

Seriously, one of the best books of the podcast so far (after "Renaissance Man" - shoutout Tessa!). I couldn't even with the supermarket scene.

Good concept but bad execution by Jen Frederick..

This felt...unfinished, and not well thought-out. Exactly how old is Anna supposed to be? Kate says three months initially, but in the first scene Kate's worried about her c-section stitches opening up--which is not a concern past the first few weeks at the most, which would make her a newborn. Newborns don't grab at grapes in the supermarket, though, and if she's that young, then why was Kate putting together her baby swing nine months ago (when she ripped her pants)? Did Dobby the dog ever make an actual appearance on the page besides his grocery store mention in the first day's episode? (I'm pretty sure the answer is no.) And what the heck coffee shop has a chandelier hanging in it just waiting to fall on unsuspecting patrons' heads???

Actually, very little about Jack makes any sense. Why was he an impoverished antisocial slacker when Kate was with him the first time (though if he was that bad, what was she doing with him?) but a suit-wearing, fancy credit card-carrying guy whom cops defer to now (less than a year later, maybe?) His explanation for the falling out with his family is pretty thin. (Speaking of his family--did they know about Kate or not? Kate's sure they do, but Mr. I-have-amnesia says they don't, but we never actually see them, plus: AMNESIA) And why on earth is Jack so fast to jump on the whole "our daughter" and "I know...I got you pregnant" train with no real proof? Wouldn't a rich dude with amnesia be a teensy bit more suspicious about something like this being (literally) thrown at him out of the blue while on a trip to the grocery store? And back to Anna's age--jack's accident was supposed to be 10 months earlier, which if Anna *is* 3 months old, would have been two months into Kate's pregnancy...did it really take her that long to figure out she was pregnant? It's not outside the realm of possibility, I guess...but then a month later she'd be taking time out of her desperate search for Jack to put together the baby swing months before she'll need it?

Maybe the ebook will be more polished? And make more sense? I mean, it was kinda cute at parts, but I really couldn't get past the inconsistencies.

Rating: 2 1/2 stars / C
