Trashy Romance Commuting! (#1)

I recently had to start taking a train comute three times a week and just a few days ago discovered that my local train station has a shelf of free paperbacks (thank you lake forest public library!) and so I have decided that the perfect thing is to take this opportunity to read really trashy romance novels and tell you all about them. 

Just Little Bit Pregnant By Eileen Wilks 

3.5 out of 5 trashy romance stars

This book is the story of Jacy, a successful orphan reporter who discovers she is pregnant as the result of a heart breaking one night stand two months earlier. Tom was her friend but the widower police detective left her right after they made love and never called!! Now he is back in her life and wants to marry her! Will Jacy ever get over her trust issues to take Tom really in to her heart?!?! Will she solve the mystery of the parents who abandoned her in a basket on the steps of the orphanage?!?! ...Yes. 

This book really is that ridiculous and over dramatic. I usually really like the absurdity of  Harlequin and Silhouette romance novels and tend to look for the worst title and then fall a little bit in love with its predictability.

This book however just fell too flat. It is ridiculous, it is over dramatic, but its not fun. The whole orphan thing was just really weird and the ending made me feel kind of uncomfortable instead of making me say awwww. Its only stars come from its truly horrendous premise, to bad it didn't live up to how funny it could have been.
