boring yawning sloppy lazy.

2.5 stars actually, you know i don’t read books like these for enlightenment but you actually learn from contemporary romances. well some of them.

i wish it focused more on the baby’s development and then reaching that point up to labour. 

also let’s talk about how the MMC needs therapy and class in treating women with respect

I loved the whole idea of the book, it’s slow burn romance and some swoon worthy moments. I especially enjoyed the fact that Stella and Dane develop a good friendship and mutual trust before they fall in love or move onto a sexual relationship. But there was just something missing for me. I couldn’t connect with the characters a lot. It’s still an enjoyable read when in need of a light breezy romance.

Stella and Dane don't seem like the types that will fall in love and live happily ever after and that is exactly what they both are looking for. After some family tragedy, Stella realizes that she isn't getting any younger and she wants a baby. She doesn't want to go to a spermbank, but she wants a man who will co-parent with her, nothing more. Dane, a retired NFL player, is trying to figure out what he wants in life. Like Stella, he doesn't see himself married. Dating for more than three months is not done in his book. This man annoys Stella more than she imagined, but that is perfect for this arrangement. The only problem is, they feel a connection when they're together. A friendship develops quickly, but are they able to keep it at just that.
This story was very heartwarming. Reading about Stella and Dane's upbringing it's understandable they both don't believe in love. The only thing they do know is that they want kids. I loved the moment they met and how annoyed Stella was. Stella is very organized and very serious. Dane seems like he's the exact opposite. He really knows how to get under her skin. This created a lot of funny moments. In between the fighting and teasing, there were a lot of warm and romantic moments. This book makes you fall in love with the characters and want them to have a happily ever after. Their friends and family make this story even better. I would love a friend like Delia. She may be rather quirky, but a friend that writes books is never a bad thing. Dane's father is so sweet and only wants to see Dane happy. Levi, his 'brother' is another one who definitely needs a happy ending. I didn't want to say goodbye to these characters. The only thing I had with this story was that it seemed to go really slow, while a lot did happen. This is difficult though, because I honestly wouldn't know what should've been different. I love that this story proves that there is love out there for everyone. Especially when you don't expect it.

Sparks fly when a successful financial manager and a legendary football player enter into a legal agreement to have a kid together. They planned on everything--they just didn't plan on each other. A standalone, slow burn novel. Stella Donovan's biological clock is a ticking time bomb. The successful financial manager has spent her adult life building a career and neglecting her personal life. Problem is, she doesn't believe in marriage. Not after watching her mother be treated like garbage by her father. Nope, marriage is not for her. All she wants is a baby. All she needs is a man to agree to her terms. Dane Wylder, recently retired NFL tight end and future Hall of Famer, wants a baby. Naturally, marriage is off the table. He's not the marrying type. Women are great--as long as they're trying to get into his bed and not his heart. But after years of living only for himself, he's ready to be a father. All he needs is a woman to agree to his terms.
