Out on a Limb is a single POV, surprise pregnancy romance. Win and Bo meet at a Halloween party and have a one-night stand. Win never expects to see him again, but six weeks later she finds out she has a reason to reach out! Bo is immediately, enthusiastically on board, surprising Win, who had prepared herself for tackling this new challenge alone. The two agree to spend time together, platonically of course, to get to know each other and be the best co-parents they can be. As time goes on, Win starts to wonder if she can let her guard down to trust Bo with her heart as well as her friendship.

As someone who experienced a surprise pregnancy and knows how scary and amazing and stressful it can be, it’s a trope I’ll only read from authors I really love, so I went into this with high expectations, and they were definitely met! In addition to being a story about a massive life change, Out on a Limb is also about two broken-hearted people learning to take a chance on love again, and about two people with limb differences (Win from birth and Bo as an adult) who are navigating their own set of challenges, concerns, and prejudices. Their banter and chemistry is perfect from the beginning and watching their relationship develop from playful to loving was so much fun to read. I loved this and can’t wait to read Sarah and Caleb’s story!

Winnifred "Win" McNulty has always been wildly independent. Not one to be coddled for her limb difference, Win has spent most of her life trying to prove that she can do it all on her own. And, with some minor adjustments, she's done just fine. That is until she has a one-night stand with the incredibly charming Bo, a perfect stranger. And that one night changes everything. While Bo is surprisingly elated to step up to the plate, Win finds herself unsure of whether she can handle this new challenge on her own or if she’ll need a helping hand. Together, Win and Bo decide to get to know one another as friends and nothing more. But, as they both should know by now, life rarely goes according to plan.
