4.1 out of 5 stars 16 ratings
Passion, Secrets, and a Love Beyond Imagination

In a moment of passion, Josephine's life takes an unexpected turn, and she finds herself pregnant. As an adopted child with no knowledge of her roots, she embarks on a quest to track down her one-night stand from that fateful night, seeking answers for the future of her unborn child.

Fate has other plans.

When Josephine and James unexpectedly cross paths, the undeniable chemistry between them ignites like a wildfire. James's admission of his feelings for her – and a child-less future – forces Josephine to guard her pregnancy secret, determined to savor what she believes will be a short-lived affair.

But love is a force that defies logic. As their passion deepens and their connection intensifies, Josephine faces an impossible dilemma. She's fallen head over heels for James, and her secret becomes a tangled web that threatens to unravel their fragile romance.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

USA TODAY bestselling author H.M. Shander is a star-gazing romantic at heart who once attended Space Camp and dreamed of piloting the space shuttle—specifically Columbia (and yes, its loss was devastating). While she never made it to NASA, she now explores the universe of swoony romance, writing sassy heroines and sweet, cinnamon-roll heroes who find love in unexpected places.

By day, she’s an elementary school librarian, delighting classes of eager kids with animated storybook readings and attempting the Herculean feat of remembering 700+ student names. By night, she moonlights as a contemporary romance novelist, crafting emotional, heartwarming love stories with just the right amount of sass.

She speaks four languages (two exceptionally well): English, French, American Sign Language, and Sarcasm—each proving useful in her many roles as Wife, Mother, Birth Doula, Teacher, and Librarian. Her extreme coffee habit fuels both her writing sessions and her ability to function before noon. She’s also a devoted sky-watcher, rainbow-chaser, and collector of moments that make life magical.

When she’s not writing, reading, or caffeinating, she can be found hunting for the perfect cozy blanket, rewatching her favorite comfort shows (Once Upon a Time anyone?), or getting far too emotionally invested in fictional characters (hers or otherwise).

    I haven’t read a book by HM Shander, that isn’t a 5* read! This one is no exception. The characters are real and relatable, and I totally become Invested in their relationship rooting for them to work things out. Josephine finds herself in a real fix when she turns up pregnant from a one night stand and no way of contacting the father. With a low paying waitressing job, she worries about being a single parent. She determines to try to find the father, and when she providentially does, the attraction is still there and sparks fly. Unfortunately, they both handle their situation rather poorly and their future together looks rather dismal. A real page turner with highs and lows, but a most enjoyable read

    Josephine and James are great characters; after a one night stand, Josephine finds out she's pregnant and sets out to find the baby daddy. When she runs into James, her one night stand, she decides to keep her pregnancy a secret because he wants a child-less future. Will they be able to make it work?.

    A sweet and emotional romance. With strong character, humor and a pull of the heartstrings this book was an enjoyable, hopeful and entertaining read. There's just enough conflict and sweet to keep the pages turning. I look forward to the next book in this series.

    This is book three in the Ladies of Westside series. It’s a secret baby emotional romance. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Great characters full of passion and you’ll be hoping for their happily ever after. It’s an emotional roller coaster and heart wrenching but wonderful read.

    Ok so Josephine and James start out as a one night stand. Something that Josephine never does and she finds herself pregnant and looking for the father.
    James came off as a little arrogant and wasn’t like able at first and the heroine let him off a little to easy if I may say.
    This is a typical one night stand surprise pregnancy book.
    I voluntarily received an arc through Booksprout for my honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Hero is a Jerk but Redeems Himself
    Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2019
    Twenty-four year old Josephine is a waitress, living in Edmonton. Completely out of character for her, she has a one-night stand with a man she knows only as James, a man she met at her cousin's wedding. Embarrassed, she does not keep his phone number when they part the next morning. 8 weeks later, she has a little consequence from that one night stand.

    I really felt for Josephine she was a young woman and she was in a desperate situation. She tries to find James, and can't remember a lot of details about him. Time passes and she does eventually connect up with him, but she doesn't tell him she is pregnant. These two people are totally at odds and at different points in their lives and James tells her adamantly that he doesn't want to have kids or be a father.

    The supporting characters are good and support the main characters without being overpowering. I would like to have a little bit more of James point of view. And when we do get his viewpoint, well he's a real jerk. ( I was almost hoping that Jo would realize that she was better off by herself but then this wouldn't have been a romance. He redeems himself in the end. But just barely.)

    I'm giving Serving up Secrecy  a solid four stars. I will gladly read more from this author.

    Thank you Booksprout for the opportunity to read and provide my honest review of this story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Oh Baby!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2019
    I was given this book by the author, whose books I have read before and really enjoyed. When I saw the blurb I knew I had to read this one too. Who doesn't love a good secret baby story? I'm a sucker for them.

    From the first pages, I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the story. James and Joy are both super likeable, and her best friend Ana is hilarious. She reminds me a lot of my own, actually! HM has a great, conversational way of writing that makes it easy to lose yourself in the story, as if a friend is telling it to you, and it makes the pages fly by. When I wasn't reading it, I found myself thinking about Josephine and James and hoping they'd make it through.

    There was a large portion of the book where I wasn't sure Josephine would get her HEA, so at the end my eyes were filled with tears. Whether they were happy or sad, I'm not going to tell you - you have to read it! As with her Charlotte Cooper books, I highly recommend Serving Up Secrecy and am looking forward to reading the others in the series. I've already downloaded Serving Up Devotion!
