Tina's Reading Books

I waffled over this one a bit. It is really a 2.5 read for me.

I think I probably would have rated it a bit higher if I hadn't read another book by the author, Willing Victim that set a higher bar for me.

On it's own merits, though, this is a fine book. Except it is pure erotica when I was expecting a bit more. So this review is probably more a victim of my expectations that anything intrinsically wrong with the story. There is a plot, the main character Abby wants to have a baby. She has just broken up with a longtime boyfriend and she feels that finding just the right guy, fostering a relationship and having a baby out of said relationship will take too long. She's in her 30s and her clock is ticking. She places an ad for a sperm donor. Only she doesn't want to conceive the baby in a Dr.'s office she wants to do it the old fashioned way.

There are lots of sex scenes between her and the two guys she settles on -- Noah, a sweetly smart guy with whom she is immediately comfortable and Rob, the wickely handsome one who is a little more adventurous. Even though it is supposed to be no strings just so she can get pregnant, Abby does begin to create a connection with Noah.

This is where I think the book fails a bit for me. It is too short to really explore what she and Noah are feeling. As it is most of the book is given over to the sexcapades. Normally not a probably but I did want a bit more balance.
