RELEASE DAY: Pregnant in Pennsylvania by Jasinda Wilder

BLURB

When you’re from a place like Clayton, PA, you either leave as soon as you can, or you never leave. We can’t even say we’re a one-stoplight town, because we don’t have a stoplight, just a traffic circle on a minor local highway. Here in Clayton, everyone knows everyone, and gossip and rumors are a way of life.

So, when my high school sweetheart leaves our son and me for a woman in another state, it’s the talk of the town for months, if not years. Even my motor-mouthed, wild child of a best friend, Cora, can’t rustle up enough trouble to keep my name off their lips for more than a week or two.

So, when I meet a handsome, single man not from Clayton, I assume he’s just passing through.

It was just supposed to be a night of fun with my BFF before school starts—one last hurrah before lesson plans and homework and packing lunches and school pickup lines take over everything. It wasn’t supposed to lead to an intense, sizzling connection—an attraction which despite my most vehement denials goes far beyond the physical.

The real question now is…will it end in another heartbreak for me and my son, or could it become a Happily Ever After?

I knew when I read that Jack Wilder was saying this new series with 50 States of Love was going to kill him and Jasinda by the end that I HAD to read them ALL!! Mainly, I just enjoy Jasinda Wilder's writing and was really excited to see how the books were related to their titles state. This book, Pregnant in Pennsylvania, was adorable! Elyse is a local lifer. She's lived in Clayton all her life only leaving for college and returning once she finished college. Her life was exactly what she wanted... small town living and raising a family. Until one day, ever changed for Elyse and her ex-husband Dan.

Elyse and Dan created a sweetheart named Aiden. It was just Elyse and Aiden. They formed a really sweet mom and son bond. This has to have one of the most adorable book openings I've ever read with single parents. I think this is what Elsye had a hard time moving on from. Change is hard. Fear is deep especially when you're a single mom with double the fear. You aren't just protecting your heart but the heart outside of your body. The new man in town is persistent and the situation isn't as simple as just a man and a woman liking each other. But Jaime is smitten and he doesn't give up! I really adored him quickly.

If I had to complain about anything with this book is that I really wish it had been in dual POV. I would have loved reading Jaime's personal thoughts. I've never been to Pennsylvania besides driving through, it seriously feels like the state goes on forever and there's always construction going on... and oh man the deer are plentiful!! This felt like a small town story with tons of normal, everyday real feelings and fears. I really appreciated the way Elyse made herself think positive things about herself for each negative. It's a good reminder that we all age and our bodies change as we get older. Elsye is a character that most women, especially moms, are going to relate too. I'm really excited for the next book!!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
