Against All Odds by Corinne Michaels - ARC Review & Release Blitz


When my ex-husband leaves me for the co-star in his movie, moving back to Ember Falls feels like my only option.

Everett Finnegan, my first love and the man I’ve never forgotten, is ready to welcome me with open arms…and an open bed. But when I find out I’m pregnant with my ex’s baby, my entire world is upended.

My ex doesn’t want the baby, but I plan to rebuild my life as a single mother and figure out how to handle all of this alone. Except that I don’t seem to be alone―Everett always shows up for me.

I don’t expect him to get mixed up in all my drama―not when he has his own. And I wish he would listen to me when I say we have to stop whatever it is we’re doing. But he wants me, the baby, and my heart.

So when I’m forced to return to California sooner than planned, I’m devastated. Everett can’t leave Ember Falls, and I can’t stay.

Saying goodbye to him the first time was hard enough. This time, it just might break me.




I can't lie, accidental/surprise pregnancies aren't always my favorite trope. But, when the book is by Corinne Michaels, I am reading it. I trust her to tell an amazing story...even though I really do think someday she is going to kill a main character...but, that doesn't happen in this one.

Everett and Violet have an amazing connection, and as it says in the blurb, it's a relationship that needs to figure out a way to survive the things she brings into the relationship from her past. While all of them aren't bad, it's still something to deal with.

The way they deal with it, however, made this book absolutely worth the read.

I can't lie, part of me is surprised an accidental/surprise pregnancy is a 5 star title for me, it's Corinne Michaels, so it's really not a shock.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.
