Blurb
He's
going above and beyond the call of duty...
Avery Yeung's biological clock just went
off early. Thanks to her family's medical history, she's running out of time to
get knocked up. And the only guy within donating distance? Her
overprotective-and irritatingly hot-best friend. So clearly she needs an anonymous donor...
Anonymous donor? Over Sheriff Drew
Flannery's dead body. While daddyhood will never be in the cards for a man with
his past, Drew won't let Avery shop for a "popsicle pop." He'll do
what's right for his best friend by doing
his best friend. But only if they do it properly.
But there's nothing "proper"
about it. Between the bed, the kitchen counter, and against his squad car,
Avery and Drew are having the hottest sex ever.
They can't get enough of it-or each other. And without knowing it, they've
crossed the one line that could ruin their friendship forever...
Excerpt #1
He jumped, and then climbed to his feet when Avery did, and
followed her to the plump older nurse. She smiled at them, making him wonder if
she were someone’s grandmother—the kind who made cookies and read bedtime
stories and…
What the hell was he even thinking?
As soon as they turned the corner from the waiting room, she
handed him a small clear cup that had a sticker with his information on it.
“You’ll put the specimen in here, please.”
The nurse opened a door. “You can leave the cup in the room
when you’re done.” She smiled at Avery. “You’re welcome to go into the room
with him, but we ask that you ensure there’s no saliva or other fluids involved
so you don’t contaminate the specimen.”
Avery made a choked noise. “That’s so not going to be a
problem.”
The nurse laughed and patted her shoulder. “I’ve heard that
one before, honey. I’ll just leave you to it.”
He barely waited for her to disappear back around the corner
before he turned to examine the room. It looked like an entire frat house’s
stash of porn had exploded in there. “Isn’t this a little much for a few
tests?”
She looked at him like he was an idiot. “How else are you
going to get your engine running?
Besides, this isn’t about tests—though I’m sure they’ll run
a few. You wanted to help me make a baby, so let’s make a baby. Now go get ‘em,
Champ.”
Jesus Christ. She expected him to leave a specimen so the
doctor could shoot it up her…
Apparently when they’d talked about making a baby, something
had gotten lost in translation.
“You’re shitting me.”
“Nope.” She slid past him into the room and meandered
around, stopping in front of the television and eyeing the collection of DVDs
on the shelf next to it. “Oh, look, they have Busty Blondes #37. I seem to
remember you having one of these videos back in high school.”
He grabbed her shoulders and tried to steer her away from
the shelf. “Not interested.”
Truth was, his inspiration for self sessions had migrated
toward pretty Asian women who looked a whole lot like the one standing in the
room with him.
“If you’re not into the DVDs, they have magazines, too.” She
poked one with her finger. “Though this one appears a bit crusty.”
“Christ, stop touching things. Do you know what men do in
here?”
She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, Drew, that’s kind of the point. They
come in here, watch or read whatever tickles their fancy, and then masturbate
into that sanitary little cup right there.”
When she said ‘masturbate’ he thought his head might
actually explode. “Avery—”
“Are you worried about hitting your mark? That is kind of a
small cup. Want me to go find something bigger?”
God, she was killing him. It would have been so much more
bearable if he thought she was kidding, but Avery was drop dead serious. It was
a sign of her nervousness that she hadn’t cracked a joke since he got into her
Jeep.
He couldn’t do it.
Review:
First things first, I enjoyed everything about this book
except the ending. I felt as if it were missing at least five more pages to
wrap up the end.
What I loved most about this book was that the main female
character was half-Asian. The first hint you have is Avery’s last name, but the
author comes out and tells you as well. IMO it was a good way to break up the usual and expected. I also appreciated that the author made
both characters with troubled family histories.
This is my first time reading this author and it will not be
the last. Her love scenes were hot, her plot line a great mix of believable and
unbelievable, and the secondary characters were as engaging as the primary
ones. You already know there’s going to be major drama when best friends decide
to have a baby together and I was ready for it. I felt as if I were sitting on
the side of the road waiting for an inevitable train wreck. We all know the
fallout will be huge – we just have to wait for it to happen. I also surprised to read that the fallout was
not just between the best friends, but included their families as well.
Realistic responses paired with realistic issues.
Good read.
