I rated this story as 1 star as it contains double standards.
5 years ago, divorce lawyer Xavier Knightly and Carli Gresham divorced after 3 years of difficult marriage. His snobby, high society family disapproved of her that they expressed this constantly. Xavier was unaware of it and niether did he take Carli's complaints seriously. His family were the main factor for the break up of their marriage.
Carli always loved him dispite leading seperate lives and avoided him like the plaque as he had no diificulty getting on with his life. He has been shagging every female he came across and Carli could not bare to see him with any woman. Meanwhile Carli never attempted to get on with her life which is quite sad. Xavier may be the man she lost her virginity to and was the only one she had sexual relationship with, does not mean she had to put her life on hold and act like a nun.
After 5 years, they come face to face and in a lift where they both were trapped for 2 hours. They attraction for one another was strong as ever. After the ordeal in the lift was over, he asked her for a drink in his hotel room for old time's sake. Reluctantly she accepted his offer and he managed to seduce her into bed. He did not consider regards to STD when he's spare time hobby is having sex with different women and neither did he take unplanned pregnancy into consideration. Xavier is a selfish character and is a pathetic excuse for a hero.
Carli obviously felt ashamed of herself for the lack of control that she fled.
3 months later, Carli turned up in Xavier's office to inform him of his impending fatherhood. Next thing she knew, he had her move back into their former marital home for their baby's sake. This did not stop Carli go into her ex-husband's bed.
They met up with his family to share their news. His family did not take it well as they still disliked her and tention could be felt. Few years ago Xavier found out of his family's maltreatment towards Carli by the way they kept bad mouthing her. Xavier was disgusted by it, but by then he was divorced and he did not tempt any reconciliation.
Both Carli and Xavier admitted to one another how they played parts to end their marriage.

novel twist to a usual tale
15 Aug 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although Carli and Xavier have been divorced for five years, sparks fly again when they are trapped in an elevator. little did they know that they managed to accomplish what they didn't manage to do during their marriage - create a new life.
This is a novel twist to the usual tale of one-night pregnancy tales. Depth and emotional complexity is thrown into the tale by the presence of an existing relationship between the couple as ex-spouses. I was drawn into the story by curiousity as to how the story would pan out, as the couple, having been married before, are reluctant to re-marry just for the sake of the child. I suppose this story is rather realistic, with the ex-husband having other relationships after the couple divorces, which is rather off putting. why is it always the guy who manages to get into subsequent relationships after divorce/break up while the heroine remains chaste and waiting for someone to come along? And often, she would be in a worse economic position than before?
Anyway, all in all, a not bad read, but it's not one of those stories that you would re-read and re-read again once your curiousity is satisfied as to finding out how the story ends. If this is the first time you're reading this author, you may wish to try her other books (some of which are quite excellent, e.g. One Last Night (Harlequin Presents)).
