After a year of partying, Sam decides to buckle down and focus on college. Things are going great until a one-night stand leaves her pregnant and alone. Raising a child while going to school isn’t easy, but Sam is determined to be strong for her daughter. She doesn’t have time for guys or relationships, but the pull she feels toward Judd is more than she can ignore.

Judd doesn’t fit the mold of a college ballplayer. His motorcycle and tattoos may fit the life he’s created for himself, but baseball is the one thing he takes seriously. When he meets Sam, he’s immediately drawn to her curves and refusal to put up with his crap. When Judd learns the truth, can he handle the responsibility that comes with loving a single mother?

Sam yearns for the fire Judd fuels in her, but her child’s needs have to come first. Can two people at different stages in their life find a way to make a life together?

Review

Four Stars - Reviewed by Natasha Jackson for Readers' Favorite

One of the things Bethany Lopez always achieves in her novels is creating real characters that are easy to love and root for and Indelible is no different. Indelible is the story of Sam, a young college student and a single parent. Unlike the typical skinny blonde college girl who gets knocked up by her boyfriend, Sam is a size 12 reformed party girl who fell pregnant as a result of a one night stand. Lonely but satisfied with her life with her two-year-old daughter Karrie, Sam decides men and relationships are things she can do without. When Sam meets Judd, her libido is attracted more than she is, easily identifying him as the player he proudly is. Her seeming indifference to the handsome baseball player only makes him try harder, in the spirit of players the world over.

The love story of Sam and Judd is quite sweet and not overly dramatic. It is the story of two regular people getting to know one another and slowly falling in love. I do wish Bethany Lopez would have given actual examples of Judd's past as a player instead of having James and Tucker allude to it. That was the only element missing that would have made me appreciate the changes Judd was making for Sam and Karrie all the more. I love that Judd doesn't make any big pronouncements about changing his ways; he simply just starts acting like a man who cares about something other than getting laid. It made the transition seem more genuine.

Indelible is a sweet romance that is not packed with unnecessary drama. Of course there are a few steamy scenes that might make you envy Sam but it is not the basis of their relationship.

Judd.....he surprised even himself and went from a player to a really serious sweet guy. Samantha/ Sam isn't looking for anything. She had to be the responsible one. She has a child. I admire the fact that she stood on her own but had friends to help with daycare. When they meet, you can feel the sparks and the interest especially with Judd. The story progresses very nicely and there are a few twists to the story. Bethany Lopez has a winner on her hands. There is an ending. I would love to see a follow-up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy read

I am reviewing this book weeks after I read it so that could be why it is really only 3 1/2 stars for me. I remember the storyline but it is not a book that will stay with you. Judd was too perfect for their situation to be a so called player. Sam is relatable, I do not have kids but loved that she kept going to school & put her daughter first. To me it is a feel good story, not much drama or angst. Easy short read, dual POV, happy ending with no cliffhanger, & that is always a plus!

Very good book! Loved the story the characters in the book, makes you really picture what they would look like in person. Was like a real life situation and how people handle it differently. Loved how the story took a little turn and then loved the ending!

3.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a single Mom's so-so fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2013

Sam is a single mom, trying to finish college and raise her two year old daughter (the product of a one night stand). She barely has time for men and the ones she has met, don't want an instant family. Judd is a college baseball player who's never even gone on a real date before. His usual M.O. is "love 'em and leave 'em." But when these two meet in a bar one night, the rules change and they embark on a relationship that changes everything for them.

There's nothing really wrong with this book but there's nothing really great about it either. And once again, there's a heroine who is described as overweight-- the references to Sam's body ("thick??) were pretty annoying. But after the first third of the book, it wasn't mentioned again.

It was kind of unbelievable that this guy who is well known as a "player", on and off the field, would just jump into a complicated relationship without any hesitation. He's like the perfect guy, good with Sam, good with kids, good with his alcoholic Dad...he was a little TOO good to be true--or too good to be realistic. That's not to say that there aren't "good" men out there. Just that this guy is practically perfect. And, I'm sorry, but NO ONE is perfect.
In this same vein, Judd makes a decision at the end of the book that was ridiculous-- I just didn't buy it. No one would do that, IMO. Plus it was totally unnecessary! They could have had everything! There was no reason why they couldn't have been together. Plenty of other guys have done it.
If I was the girl in this situation, I would neither expect nor want him to do what he did. It just contributed to the "virtual" feel of this guy. Like he was The Ultimate Boyfriend Android or something. Perfect or your money back.

Anyway, it's a sweet story but there's no real conflict. The book, like their relationship, is relatively uncomplicated. Alcoholic Dad? Solved. Estranged Father of kid? Solved. Nothing that came up seemed to be all that difficult to fix. At the end, Sam and Judd's relationship is tested but only briefly and the HEA finds it's way in.

Very little real drama and zero suspense.
Like I said, there's nothing wrong it it per se. But it's not a page turner or anything I'd ever recommend or read again. Just so-so.

I expected a super sweet high school/college story. And I got it. But I got more than that. There was heart and soul and pain and regret and sacrifice and forgiveness. Bethany Lopez give us a peek into some sexy time along with a love story that you really didn't see coming. (well I would not have expected Judd to be who he is in any case). My first story by this author but I'll be coming back for more.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring and childish
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 7, 2013

This was such an immature and rushed book, honestly unless it was free I wouldn't bother reading it. The plot was so weak nothing actually happened. If you blinked that's how fast they fell in love. It was all so ridiculous, I wonder how old the writer is because it was so awfully immature. Also at the start it was stated that Sam was a size 12 which considering it is based in the US I'm guessing its a US size, in the UK this is like a size 18 so she would be very large and I really didn't get that impression, small detail I know but it annoyed me.

Overall I'd advise people not to bother it wasn't an enjoyable read and definitely not worth paying for it.
