My rating: 4 of 5 stars
We met in a trapped elevator.
Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie.
I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right?
At thirty-five, my life hadn’t taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting—I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen.
After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner—he also insisted on something else—that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy. He was a wealthy and powerful CEO with little interest in diapers or playdates. And since he didn’t want kids, I’d be on my own once his bun was in my oven, free to go my own way.
But once his baby was inside me, it was like a switch had been flipped, and I got a whole lot more than I ever bargained for.
This full-length standalone contains a hot, swoonworthy hero, lots of playful banter and some hot baby-making s-e-x! Enjoy.
Baby Daddy
Baby maker!

The heroine: Jenna – she owns her own bookstore called the Lit Apothecary. She had quit a decent job to open the store nearly two years ago and gave herself two years to make a go of it, promising herself she would not dip into her savings to pay bills for the store. But business hasn’t been good lately, she is getting only a few customers a day and is late on more than one bill, including the rent. Not to mention the fact that a big bookstore chain wants to buy her out and keeps throwing lowball offers at her.
The Hero: Emmett – he went to work for his fathers’ company after college. He is the only one of his siblings that was willing to take over Baxter Books from his father. He doesn’t love the job but decided early on that he would never be like his father, who devoted all his time to the business and none to his family. Emmett has devoted all his time to business and his work is his life, so he promised himself he wouldn’t have a family. He has one-night stands and doesn’t ever get involved.
The story: Jenna’s biological clock is ticking, so she has decided to have a baby and be a single mother. Her father abandoned his family when she was young, so she is determined to do it all on her own. However, when she is stuck in an elevator one afternoon on her way to an appointment at the fertility clinic, she ends up telling the man she is stuck with, what her plans were. Emmett thinks Jenna is beautiful and wants her, so he proposes that she do it the old fashioned way with him. He tells her he won’t want anything to do with the baby, so that isn’t an issue. Jenna eventually agrees.
The story is pretty good. Emmett and Jenna have quite a bit of chemistry between them even though Jenna at first just wants to quickly do the deed in as clinical way as possible. Though as things progress, the two of them find that they genuinely like each other and they end up finding themselves on dates more often than not, and even being intimate when she isn’t ovulating.
This audiobook was told in two points of view via duet narration and was narrated by Sebastian York and Virginia Rose. Sebastian York is one of my favorite male narrators. He has a deep, gravelly voice and is great at dirty talk. Virginia Rose has a soft, but clear, feminine voice and she sounds intelligent, so she makes a good Jenna.
