A sort-of-second chance, boss/employee, close proximity romance between a couple who agree to have a baby together without being in a relationship. Ha! It’s sinfully sexy and gorgeously swoony with a billionaire hero who falls HARD, and I loved this book so much!

From USA Today bestselling author J. Saman comes a sizzling-hot billionaire, second chance, boss/employee romance about a broody doctor and his feisty resident who both want a baby but nothing to do with love.
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?

5 stars!
OMG, what a beautifully romantic story! A sort-of-second chance, boss/employee, close proximity romance between a couple who agree to have a baby together without being in a relationship. Ha! It’s sinfully sexy and gorgeously swoony with a billionaire hero who falls HARD, and I loved this book so much!
This is my first book by J. Saman, and it’s a second-generation spin-off from the Irresistibly Yours series (Katy appears as a child in book #3, Irresistibly Wild). There is a huge cast of side characters that make up Katy’s family, and though I initially tried to keep up who everybody was and how they fit together, there are just too many of them and I abandoned that attempt, and just enjoyed the story without trying to piece it all together, which turned out to be fine. That being said, I’m keen to explore more of this world and have added the earlier books to my TBR.
In this book, Katy is all grown up and a surgical resident. Her new boss, Bennett, just happens to be the same guy she had a hot make-out session with a few years ago, and from the first glance it’s clear that the attraction between them is still there, but neither of them are in a place where they want a relationship. Bennett has been through a hellish divorce and Katy has recently come out of a long term relationship themselves. They don’t want to fall in love and open themselves up to hurt again, but what they do both want is to start a family.
When Bennett overhears Katy’s plans to conceive a child on her own, he offers his help, proposing that they have a child together, which they will co-parent without any romantic entanglements. Katy has serious health issues which gives her a small window in which to conceive, and knowing how badly Bennett wants a family, it seems like the perfect arrangement… except for the complication of their wild attraction to each other. The chemistry sizzles every time every time they’re together and to combat that, they agree to conceive the old fashioned way to get the mad lust out of their systems, planning to stop when Katy gets pregnant. And the sexual tension is INSANE!
“I want this and you so fucking badly I can hardly breathe or thing rationally. You understand if I fuck you, if I knock you up, that baby will be mine, and you will be too.”
It’s a great set-up, and from the moment they agree to their arrangement, it’s all on, and holy freaking hell, this book is so damn hot! Bennett is a wild one with a filthy mouth and a bit of a kinky side, and Katy is right there with him, and the sexy time is intense and wildly passionate.
“Do you have any idea the dirty things I want to do to you? You have to tell me if it’s too much or if I’m too rough because the way I’m feeling right now cannot be contained.”
“I shouldn’t want you as much as I do.” …
“I want you too,” I murmur against her lips. “So much. All the time. It’s never enough.”
It’s only a matter of time before feelings become involved, and though they both try to fight it, they find themselves falling madly for each other. Bennett, in particular falls hard, and though they are both wrestling with their feelings, they know it’s a losing battle.
She hasn’t just turned my world upside down, she’s become it.
But I can’t pretend anymore Not as the truth slams into me with the force of a bullet.
I love Katy. I’m totally, wildly, head over heels in love with her. She wants me want things I swore I’d never want again.
This is SUCH A gorgeous romance! There is no angst, no drama, and no third-act breakup. It’s just two people maturely handling their unique situation and following their hearts. They talk about what they’re doing and what they’re feeling, and the communication is refreshing and so freaking functional, and though there are some pretty intense external pressures they need to deal with, they handle it sensibly and never lose sight of each other, and I LOVE THAT!
“It’s always been you, Katy. From the moment I first saw you all those years ago to the moment I saw you again, it’s been you. No one has ever felt right the way you do because I have never loved anyone the way I love you.”
God, I love to see a man so hopelessly in love with his girl, so protective, open, and willing to fight for what he wants, and Bennett completely stole my heart. And Katy is a total firecracker. She is strong and stubborn, she knows what she wants and she speaks her mind, and I just loved her. Add a pregnancy and a baby into the mix, and I was in romance heaven!
There’s a huge cast of side characters who are so entertaining. Katy’s family’s protectiveness over her is lots of fun, and Bennett’s mother is a total scene stealer! And the hospital setting and medical aspects bring Grey’s Anatomy vibes, which I really enjoyed.
It’s a beautiful journey for these two. I loved them as characters, I loved their individual stories, and I loved watching them come together. It’s a wonderfully functional love story that had me completely invested, and I felt everything right along with them, my heart pounding with excitement and happiness as they found their HEA.
This is such a gorgeous read. 5 stars!
