I feel the need to preface this by saying that if there is a ranking of tropes, accidental pregnancy ranks the near the lowest in my book, so I was kinda worried about picking this. Boy was I in for a lovely surprise!
When Cassidy Bowman finds herself at a rodeo and her ex is parading his new girlfriend around, she sort of loses it. She wants revenge. She decided to pick up the first guy to cross her path and “have her way with him” and she does. She picks Chase ‘Red’ Thompson, a hot-headed , red-haired troublemaker who frequents her dad’s bar and for whom she really doesn’t care. Red has no problem helping he out – on the hood of her ex’s car!
They both think this was a one shot situation, until two pink lines who on on several sticks and Cass sees herself with the most unexpected baby daddy…
Like I said before, this trope doesn’t usually do it for me but Bailey Hannah wrote an amazingly sweet, spicy and heartwarming story.
The title, ‘Seeing Red’, couldn’t be more perfect as Cassidy finally “sees” Red for who he truly is and not just the guy who frequently “sees red” and can’t deal with a troubled past. It is this troubled past that makes him amazing.
What completely put me on team Chase? His immediate “all in” stance when it came not only to the baby but also Cass. We soon realize that she was his dream girl all along ( an I mean ALL ALONG) and this is his chance of having everything he has ever wanted but never thought he deserved.
I was a little annoyed by how how long it took Cass to realize her image of Chase was all wrong and how hard she fought to keep him in that role, even though he proved time and again who he truly was.
Again, all the Wells show up as one big family and it’s lovely!
A must read for fans of man obsessed, hot cowboy, sassy heroine, found family, Little Spuds and a lovely HEA.
