Playing by the baby rules by Michelle Celmer (SD 1566)

Favourite Scene: (she's ovulating and called him over to have sex)

"Did you run all the way here?"
"The Jeep was blocked in by a delivery truck. I thought it would be faster on foot. Did I miss it?"
"Miss what?"
"Your egg. Is it too late?"
"Oh, I guess I should have explained, my egg is good for at least twenty-four hours after the hormone surge. Sometimes even longer."
"That would have been nice to know."  

 

My Review:

Aw, the cover is cute, the hero is a cute blond and the H/h are embracing and their image is reflecting in a mirror.  I adore friends-to-lovers stories, and this was a great one!  She wants a baby, and he volunteers to be the father.  They start out having sex for the sake of conception, he wants to make it good for her, from the start there's more to this than just sex.  They love each other from page 1, they just haven't yet admitted to themselves it's the "in love" kind of love too.  They both have issues with their unconventional/bad family lives.  When her building has a fire, she stays at his place and intimacy grows.  The love and passion is so strong, the characters are real, even the secondary characters are lovely.  Every time she calls the hero to tell him she's ovulating... he RUNS home and it's adorable how he drops everything.  The ending was sweet, they resolved their family issues and showed how much they know and love each other. 

Rating: 4/5 stars, great friends-to-lovers story!  NFM

Hi Janet

I love Michelle Celmers books. Both her Desire and her Romantic Suspense. I missed this one so it is another one I must get. Especially since you mention that it is another great friends to lovers romance.

Hi Janet

I did find a copy but couldn't get it into my cart. Hopefully it is a glitch and not out of stock. It said it was available. I'm going to try calling this weekend when I get a chance.

Margie :)
