Author: Jane Graves ISBN: 9780446568470 2/2011 CONTEMPORARY Publisher: GRAND CENTRAL
A good girl can be bad for one night...
Bernadette Hogan doesn't make mistakes. Not when it comes to caring for her mother, and not at her job protecting Texas's most eligible—and infuriating—bachelor. Maybe that's why she's overcome with guilt after one tiny indiscretion: a passionate fling with her boss that's left her confused, intrigued...and pregnant.
but can a bad boy be good for a lifetime?
To self-made millionaire Jeremy Bridges, women are like fine wine: if held for too long, they sour. But one wild night with Bernadette changed all that. She makes him laugh, she makes him think, and soon she's going to make him a father. For the first time, Jeremy wants to be a one-woman man. So how can he convince the fiercely independent Bernadette he's ready to change from partying playboy to dependable dad—and become the loving husband she deserves?

 RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 
BLACK TIES AND LULLABIES is a refreshing, fun, sometimes irreverent romantic romp. I loved it! Just pure heartwarming craziness, from beginning to end.
Bernie is someone so down-to-earth, she could be anyone. A fling with a hunk leaves her heaving, trying to hide the facts from her mother but coming clean when she's confronted with the empty pregnancy test box. No flu, she admits—and I've got to admit, I loved the way both Bernie and Eleanor handled the situation. Jeremy, the father of her children, is filthy rich, but even with all that money, he can't make Bernie love him. No, that's not something he can buy. She stands up to him, and they definitely tangle, before resolving their situation. It could be a serious story, but squashed eyeballs and too many other funny lines make it a light, entertaining read.
