Summary

An accidental pregnancy, grumpy-sunshine romance
Keeley:

Last January, I drunk-married my nemesis—hot, oversized geek Graham Tate. With no memory of how it came about, there was only one solution: run off before he woke up and pretend it didn’t happen. It would have worked perfectly if I hadn’t wound up pregnant.

Graham is the opposite of everything I want in a man—practical, disciplined, frugal—but living with him until the baby arrives has me wondering if, perhaps, I’ve been wanting the wrong things all along. And if that drunk version of me last January might have been onto something.

Graham: I never planned to have kids, and I certainly wouldn’t have planned on one with Keeley Connolly—a woman who does not believe in savings accounts or personal safety and thinks Lucky Charms is a health food because of the non-marshmallow bits.

A woman who also didn’t think twice about marrying me in Vegas and ditching me hours later.

I can’t wait to put this behind me and return to my careful, chaos-free life in New York. But the more time I spend with Keeley, the more I’m remembering the things that led me to marry her in the first place…and wondering if I can live without them when this ends.

Review

The Devil Gets His Due was great when it was great. And when it wasn’t----- it was a little upsetting. What I liked is how polar opposite Keeley and Graham were. Graham is uptight and unattached. Then, there is Keeley who is loud, vibrant, and always ready to party. I liked the small, intimate moments they would have with each other, and just them learning to adapt to this new development in their lives.

There were a few situations that left me confused about how old these characters were because in some situations they were being extremely childish. This was practically true with Keeley. I had to constantly remind myself of her fears and her tragic past. I was shocked to learn that she was a doctor because her attitude and some behaviors didn’t line up with that profession. There was a situation in the book where she was annoyed that she had to help someone despite that being what she decided to do with her life. Then, we have Graham who made some misogynistic comments that had me scratching my head. It wasn’t an attractive look. And it was almost like “umm am I supposed to root for him here?”

Final Thoughts

The Devil Gets His Due would have been a more enjoyment read if the characters were not constantly being insulting and acted their age. For the moments where that didn’t occur, the book shined.
