Book Summary

 

In the weeks following Aidan’s betrayal, Emma has tried her best to move on. Ignoring his countless texts, voice mails, and flowers, she isn’t sure she wants to be won back by him. But Aidan isn’t going down without a fight—especially not until Emma lets him reveal the secret of his past that caused him to be so commitment phobic.

But fate intervenes when premature labor forces Emma on strict bed rest for two weeks. Aidan steps forward with a shocking proposal. To prove his love and commitment for her and their unborn son, he will take a leave of absence from work to care for her around the clock. Vowing to guard her heart, Emma reluctantly agrees.

While she is touched by Aidan’s attentiveness and tender loving care, Emma is thrown for a loop by the amorous attentions of ER doctor, Alpesh “Pesh” Nadeen. Pesh is everything Emma could ever want—successful, stable, and ready to settle down and be a husband and father. Pesh wants nothing more than to win Emma’s heart, but she is not sure she’s able to give it.

Her heart may still belong to the very man who broke it—the one who is so desperately trying to win her back.

 

 

My Review 

 

 

I love drama in my love stories. And the last book ended on a cliffy that had me buying this book right away. Thank goodness it was available. I believe that this couple story is told between two books that are available, so no need to wait for this one.

I love the strength that Emma showed in this book. She wasn’t whinny and she stuck to her guns. Aidan had a lot to do in this book to earn his book boyfriend status, but it was well worth the journey to get there.

I’ve read a lot of books. And not often I’m surprised. The premise of this series intrigued me and held my attention throughout. I’m sorry I waited so long to read this one.  I look forward to more books by this author.

Book Summary

 

With her thirtieth birthday looming, Emma Harrison finds her biological clock clanging and the elusive knight in shining armor yet to appear. She’s running out of options, especially after her gay best friend backs out from being her sperm donor. Of course, there’s always a sperm bank, but Emma fears a donor mix-up might impregnate her with the spawn of Satan.

Resident company womanizer, Aidan Fitzgerald, is used to always getting what he wants, especially in the bedroom. When Emma spurns his advances at the company Christmas party, he's determined to have her no matter what it takes. After Aidan learns of Emma's predicament, he is quick to offer a proposition that will benefit them both. He will father Emma's child, but she must conceive it with him naturally. Not one for hook-ups or casual sex, Emma is reluctant to take him up on his offer, but his charm, coupled with her intense desire for motherhood, wins out.

Soon their baby-making sessions become more than just physical. Aidan can't seem to walk away from her while Emma begins to wonder if Aidan could be the one. But can Aidan leave his past behind to become the man Emma needs him to be?

 

 

My Review

 

I’ll be honest and say the first bit of the story I wanted to slap Emma for being stupid. Thank goodness the author didn’t leave her like that. She had a support system of friends that gave her the hard truth and that took some of the sting out of watching her make a fool of herself.

Luckily, all that ended early and Emma starting acting smarter. Aidan on the other hand surprised me and I won’t say how for fear of spoilers.

Overall, the book snagged me by my heels and wouldn’t let go. Because of a minor cliffy, I’m moving on to book two right away. Thank goodness it’s out and I think it’s the end to this couples story. So you don’t have to wait on reading this one.
