Have a baby with my new boss? Not exactly what I had in mind when I decided I wanted to try to get pregnant. But that’s exactly the situation I find myself in with Dr. Bennett Lawson. The ridiculously gorgeous, broody billionaire I kissed years ago is asking to have a baby with me. We both have our reasons for wanting this and with our ugly pasts, it’s an undeniably convenient arrangement. No love. No relationship. Strictly business. Now I’m living with him and pretending every searing touch, whispered word, and moaned breath is all in the name of our contract and nothing more. Even as it becomes harder to keep our hands to ourselves and our feelings separate. But when that stick shines with two pink lines, we both know what we've grown addicted to has to stop. Except what happens when everything starts to fall apart and what we promised would never happen becomes the one thing we can no longer live without?

This is reading really fast, which is good. The main characters feel... less mature than ~30 and 38 though 🤷♀️ but HOO BOY when the adult times hit-- 🔥🍆🌶🔥

Both of our main characters had had previous feelings years before, so there's very little emotional development in this book. It almost is set up to be a second chance romance but this is extremely weak as there is so little romance in this book. There is a big chunk at the start to establish the scene and who are characters are and then he makes his proposal that they should try to have a baby, she thinks about it for less than 12 hours and then they start to fuck, and he has a dirty mouth. They even suggest at first needing contracts and how to set boundaries and what they want out of this plan together-- and this never happens they just bone. I didn't really see much of a reason to not date or to keep all feelings out of the arrangement instead of have a real relationship? I understand that they both had been hurt in the past, but this always annoys me as a reason or conflict to prevent a relationship. The characterization overall was poor, there were not really realistic conversations or interactions with other people. There are also a million pointless side characters that just cluttered everything up. There were only two or three scenes of sex but Bennett felt completely different to his characterization for the rest of the book, he suddenly became very Alpha and dominant. He says the right words but then is extremely possessive and doesn't really follow through with what he says. Bennett's old best friend suddenly shows up for reasons that are unclear and then he becomes the bad guy causing problems (instead of having an interpersonal third act conflict) and he almost tips this book into a romantic suspense, but his reasons for being present and causing drama are unclear and he isn't even a problem before he is easily resolved? So what was the point? Bennett confessing that he has been in love with Katy from the start, more than 8 years ago, is absolutely stupid and makes zero sense: 1) he did not know her well; 2) he got married anyway?? WTF! 3) Especially since they make all of these deals to not have any feelings or be in a true relationship, yet he's actually been in love with her this whole time? Their sexual relationship did not feel forbidden or taboo it seemed like nobody at work really cared and everybody else in their lives were pushing them together. Multiple reviewers complain that this was a rip off of Gray's Anatomy/felt too much like a soap opera, also many complaints at the lack of maturity of our two main characters.
J. Saman started with a bang in this new series! WOW!
I couldn't put the book down! I've never been into pregnancy books, but this one was addictive. It's my second book of J. Saman's with pregnancy in some kind of way and I loved both of them.
In this book we follow Katy (if you've read the Irresistibly Yours Series, you know her and her story), a doctor that oh so desperately wants to be a mother and is not afraid to do it on her own. In comes hot doctor Bennet, a blast from her past and an old crush of Katy's. The chemistry is still there, but he's her new boss! Coincidentally, Bennet also wants a child of his own and a crazy arrangement comes up: they have a child together but no relationship, no love. Just business.
But the longer they spend time together, the more entangled they become and the harder it becomes to be away from each other. Will they manage to keep the agreement as it was supposed to be or fall into each other?
Seriously, I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!!!
I have a new fictional boyfriend and his name is Doctor Bennet! He's such a Daddy!
