Caroselli Christmas Baby by Michelle Celmer

3 STARS
The Caroselli Inheritance series
The Grandfather of Caroselli family brings together his three grandsons who are not showing signs of settling down. He tells them he has made a trust of 30 million dollars if they produce a son they get 10 million dollars by certain time. He wants the family name to continue.
I thought the idea was terrible to begin with and then read thier really was not a fund set up.
Theresa Phillips has been good friends with Nick Caroselli for over 20 years. They get together for dinner once a week and she spends holidays with his family. His mom has been more of a mom to her than her Aunt who raised her. Theresa wants a family and her life plan was to have kids before she was 30. So she decides to be a single mother and tells Nick about her decision a week after his Grandfather's offer.
Nicolas gets the idea that they have a baby together. He will be thier for her child if anything happens to her. They could make it the old fashioned way. Then after the baby is born they can get a divorce but still remain best friends. They would keep it a secret and pretend for his family's sake that it is real.
His two cousins guess about it being fake and worn him if he hurts her they will be tough on him. They care about Theresa too much to see her hurt.
They plan to get married in two weeks so everybody assumes that she is already pregnant.
Thier are a lot of sex scenes in this book that I skipped over, which is normal for a harlequin Desire book.
Thier are family secrets that are going on in the family that I would like to know the answers too. Thier are a lot of marriages that are on the rocks and make it hard to trust in marriage.
Caroselli family business is making chocolate and reading about it makes me want some so beware it sounds yummy.
The Caroselli family tends to get drunk on holidays. I like how they pull together for each other.
I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review from Netgalley.
