Pulling Doubles by Christina C. Jones

I almost DNF’ed but I’m reading the trio in a bundle set so I just powered through.

Love interest is a jerk to her because he likes her, are we 5? Unlike book 1 where the teasing is mutual, he is is responsible for her career and she can’t reciprocate his every without being deemed unprofessional. Drama with her ex made sense but his was oddly included since it really didn’t advance the story. Could have done without the ending.

I generally don’t care to read accidental pregnancies or surprise baby plots but that isn’t even really an issue here because the pregnancy realization is the final few pages. His reaction to her saying “if we keep this baby” was off putting though, like she wouldn’t have a choice because he’s keeping a promise to his dead mother. Add to the fact that they transitioned so abruptly from friends with benefits to “serious” with no clear conversation and it was unsatisfying. This could have used more breathing room to develop them as a couple and maybe an epilogue for the baby instead.
