It's the morning after her cousin's bachelorette party in Vegas and Megan Scott wakes up with the mother of all hangovers. Even worse, she's in a stranger's penthouse having woken up with something else as well - a funny, arrogant, sexy...husband!
Up until now, finding even a boyfriend had seemed impossible - been there, got the broken heart, sworn off men for good. Then a few martinis with Carter...no, Connor Reed and she's gone from first meet to marriage in one night!
Megan wants a lawyer. But Connor's shocking bombshell?
"I don't want a divorce."

My Review

Waking Up Married is a great point of not everything stays in Vegas and Megan is learning her lesson on the side effects of drinking.  So when her new husbans says he does not want a divorce she does not know why.
Connor knows that Megan will be the perfect wife, they want a lot of the same things and what they do not agree on their is always compromise.  So there is no way that he is allowing her to divorce him without giving their marriage a try.

Personally there were some great things in this book, Connor standing up for Megan at the reception was great.  Just because a girl is willing to deal with what "friends" are saying does not mean she should.  But then on the other side you have Megan doing everything in her power to self destruct this marriage she said she would give a chance.  Though she does have her reasons on not trusting Connor to stick around after the "Honey-Moon" period, she should really have let it run its course.

I think the good and the bad balance each other out in this story and make for a good FREE read (if still available).  If you have thing for the Romantic Harlequin Series, I believe that the KISS series is off to a good start with Waking Up Married.

When Greek billionaire Dimitri Petronides is forced to give up Xandra Fortune, his beautiful mistress, he's certain she won't be too distraught. For all the intense passion they've shared she's never let him into her heart, and such a commitment-shy woman could never be his wife... 
But after their split, Dimitri discovers that Xandra Fortune is not who he thought she was - and she is also pregnant with his child. Now he has to track her down and claim his mistress as his wife!

MY REVIEW:

Its the classic love story:
Girl lives in sin with boy
Girl gets pregnant by boy
Girl realizes she loves boy
Boy leaves girl to marry acceptable girl
Girl disappears
Boy regrets decision.

When Xandra Fortune finds out that she is pregnant and the father of the baby went and got engaged to what he claims to be the "right sort" of girl, she decides it is time to go back to being Alexandra Dupree and go home to her mother, who believes she is ruining the family, and her sister.

Living the life of "Xandra Fortune" had been great when she could be a fashion model in France but with a child on the way and being a single parent there would be no way to continue her lifestyle.  Plus her family, who she got the job for to begin with did not need her assistance as much.

By the time that Dimitri realized the mistake he had made, "Xandra" was gone from the apartment he had removed her from and from the city.  The only thing Private Detectives could find on "Xandra Fortune" was that she had her belongings shipped to New York.

When they end up at the same party in New York will the sparks fly or will the fact that Alexandra believes Dimitri to be married and can not trust him keep them apart.

Mostly this is like all Harlequin Romance stories and something I love.  A first time together, something that tears them apart and then a happily ever after.  Not to say that they are all the same, that little bit of info that they will get back together is something to make you pull through that hate that they may or may not feel toward each other.  And I love them for those moments where they do not get along.  Lucy Monroe did a good job on this short and sweet Harlequin getting me interested.  There is constantly a question to find the answer too:  Did he get married?  What did he promise his Grandfather?

MY RATING: B-
