It's a second-chance baby! 

Julia Keys has everything going for her—beauty, brains and a Hollywood career. So why does she keep ending up in Logan Brandt's bed? The sexy former pro baseball player has wreaked havoc on her heart for years. But when their latest fling ends with a plus sign on the pregnancy test, Logan makes the case for marriage. 

Julia knows the only wedding in their future is the one they're both attending, no matter how hot the chemistry between them still burns. Can two high school sweethearts who've made a mess of love finally get it right…even if the baby isn't Logan's?

Karen Booth is a midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on '80s music and repeated readings of Forever by Judy Blume. Karen writes steamy contemporary romance, almost always about the dreamy guy you never thought you'd get. Her stories are full of breathless kisses, tearjerker moments, messy family dynamics, and more than a few things she's glad her grandmother never read.

Karen is co-founder of Seasoned Romance, a reader and author group devoted to the promotion of romance with characters 35+. She has been a finalist for RT Magazine’s Series Romance of the Year, RT Magazine’s Gold Seal of Excellence, the National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award (NERFA), the Booksellers Best Award, and the Holt Medallion.

When Karen isn't creating fictional dream men and the women who test them, she's listening to everything from Otis Redding to Duran Duran with her kids, honing her Southern cooking skills (she makes some mean collards), or sweet-talking her astoundingly supportive husband into making her a Dark & Stormy.

    The characters were flawed but good people. Logan was a more realistically written character than many heroes. I really liked Jules. She was sweet and warm. The only character that really brings the story down in my eyes is the sister. She was selfish, mean and the most unpleasant part of the story.
    It was a wonderful story of how two people can learn to trust and love again. I highly recommend it.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2018
    For a while, the two main romantic protagonists seem to have no real cohesive factor other than they’re both good in bed. Well, she may also be carrying his child but that’s a separate issue…isn’t it?

    Reading about Julia and Logan’s attempts to hammer out a working relationship, one that would encompass love and the rearing of a child, was difficult. Not because the writing was bad—it is rather good for novels of this sort. It was because they were both beset by anxieties, insecurities and differing notions about what it took to create a stable connection.

    Logan thinks that every child deserves two parents and he proposes based on that quixotic but frankly outdated notion. Julia is a famous acting star, one recognizable practically everywhere she goes. You figure that she probably has plenty of money and doesn’t need Logan’s input. She’s yearning for Logan’s love, affection and support, no matter what, and is offended and hurt by the idea that he’s proposing marriage out of some silly chivalrous idea of “being a man” or “doing the right thing”. She thinks that a marriage under such an onus would be headed for disaster. Having a child as a way of keeping people together? Tough burden to place on an infant.

    There’s also the problem that she doesn’t know who the father is and flatly refuses to take a paternity test to find out. Logan’s initial assertions that he’ll stay if the baby is his raises her hackles and deepens her fears that he’ll walk out on her if the baby turns out to be another’s. Julia is going to love the baby no matter who the father is and I could only applaud her for her staunch affection.

    At this point, I was feeling more than a little teed off at Logan Brandt’s attitude. But the novel takes them both to a place where they manage to overcome their separate terrors and suspicions of each other. There was a little too much sex for my liking especially when I thought there should be more conversation before they predictably took each other on the sheets. But otherwise this is a refreshingly different slant on the “She’s Having My Baby” trope.

    The Best Man's Baby is another fantastically written story by Karen Booth. We get her humor, amazing romance, witty banter, and moments when I just want to throw the book. Thanks Karen. It's the chemistry between these two lovers that makes me give all the thumbs up!

    Logan Brandt is gorgeous and so smitten by his long time love Julia Keyes. Papa didn't raise no fool though. He knows a good thing, but plays her just right to get her back to him. He knows which strings to pull and the words to say to make her realize that there's no better place to be than by his side.

    Julia, good grief lol. She's everything we feel and dare not say. She is loving and smart, yes but is totally incapable of realizing where her heart belongs. However she is written with such a grace and giving nature that I can forgive her for passing up Logan at first. I can't blame her though when she has the crazy family that she does. I still want bop Tracy.

    This romance is definitely Karen Booth signature steamy. Whew! Goodness! Note to self: Don't read on the metro. You just may miss your stop.

    Enjoyable read. Likeable characters with a smooth storyline that flowed easily. Logan and Jules were high school sweethearts that had to learn to trust one another and the love they shared. Together for her sister and his best friends wedding, secret is revealed that could change everything.
