Fresh Fiction Review

Expectant Father
Melinda Curtis

Reviewed by Lexi Carter
Posted September 1, 2005

Romance Contemporary

Becca Thomas, a 38 year old Fire Behavior Analyst, realizes the one firefighter she didn't plan to see ever again, Aiden "Spider" Rodas, is also in Montana battling one of the last wildfires of the season. She seduced the hotshot in a Las Vegas one night stand with the express purpose of getting pregnant. Now, almost eight months later they are thrown together and seeing each other for the first time since that night. Aiden quickly realizes the baby must be his and he wants to have a part in raising him--or her. A strong assertive older woman with a plan and a younger fun-loving confirmed bachelor strike plenty of sparks but the fire itself is the real star of this page turning story. This is the third in author Melinda Curtis' series on the firefighters known as "hotshots"; a select group of men and women who hike up mountains to fight fire with a shovel as their only tool. Definitely worth the read—and I'll look for the next book in the series coming in May 2006.

SUMMARY

What not to expect when you're expecting... Becca Thomas is thrilled to be pregnant, even though it means bringing up her baby alone. At thirty-eight, this may be her last chance to have a child. And she doesn't expect to see Aiden Rodas again — doesn't think that a freewheeling younger man like him would even want to be a father. Wrong Aiden may live the life of a devil-may-care wildland firefighter, but he's not going to walk away from his responsibilities, no matter how unexpected they are. His challenge now is making Becca see that their child needs both of them. An even bigger challenge will be to make her realize that this expectant father has fallen in love with a certain mother-to-be!
