Ah, Tessa Lightfoot wants a baby and her clock is ticking. She got rid of her husband who certainly was not interested in having a child mess up the works.Chase Madison lost his wife, who claimed she was infertile, until he found her birth control pills. She was not going to ruin her figure or her lifestyle with a baby.
Tessa has two sisters, Dia, a lawyer and Samantha [not quite sure how she figures in except a most loving supporting older sister] and her mother, Celeste [with much the same problem as Tessa]
[I noticed the names right off (g)] Chase's parents, Carl and Carole Anne Madison has two other sons, Christian and Colin [grin) wait till you get to the epilogue].
Chase is 35 and is afraid he will never get a chance of having a child. Until a clinic mix-up? proves he is the sperm donor to Tessa's child - sperm that he did not donate!
[How did I pick two books in a row where the gals are knee-deep in emotional hang-ups?] Tessa loves Chase but will not marry him. [She sure doesn't thing straight] Even after Chase tells her about the child being considered illigitemate. Lord, the nerve of these women. They seem to think they can insulate the child from the gossip. from the prejudices of humanity.
They [she] won't marry but they will hop into bed. Backward thinking if they think at all.
Still, and excellently written story [or I wouldn't get so ticked off]
Will definitely recommend --M great characters [except the women] story is strong enought to keep your attention - wonderful conclusion - Dia seems to have some hang-up --- wonder if there will be a follow-up of these characters [Christian and Dia, maybe?]
