Blurb:
Trish DeVign knows what she needs to be single, successful, and
satisfied. She needs a baby. With recent relationships falling short of
her expectations, she’s single by choice. With a thriving interior
design company, she’s got successful covered. It’s the satisfied part
that eludes her, and that’s her mother’s fault - not her adopted mother,
but the mother who gave her away, sentencing her to a privileged life
with two good people who don’t share with her a single drop of DNA.
Tony Corcarelli has spent
his adult life as the black sheep of his large Italian-American family
ever since he turned his back on running the family carpentry business
so he could live a more laidback life, forcing his sister to take the
reins. Now, Tony’s grandmother has cancer, and he’s expected to join the
family in making her wishes come true. Unfortunately, the two things
Nonna wants most for Tony are two things he can’t fathom: a wife and
kids or the priesthood. There has to be another way.
When Trish asks her best friend’s brother, Tony, to escort her to a
wedding, a night of fun and flirtation turns serious, with Trish
confessing she wants a baby. Could a calculated conception be the answer
they’ve both been looking for?

Samantha's Review:
Trish wants a baby. She
dosn't need marriage or a relationship. Just someone that will be in the
baby's life. She got tired of dating potential husbands. Now she is
dating potential fathers. Trish is adopted and she wants that closeness
of having one blood relative. She will do just about anything to
accomplish this goal. Including giving her best friends brother a
proposition.
Tony definately has the hots for Trish. He can't seem to stop
thinking about her. But she is his sister's best friend so it is hands
off. Or at least that's what he thinks. When Trish needs a date to a
family wedding she asks Tony. When he see's her that night he can't
believe how amazing she looks. He can't seem to help himself. He puts
the charm on full blast.
Trish can't help herself. With the way Tony was acting and the
things he would say it pushed her to doing something that she knew she
shouldn't. It comes down to this. Trish want's a baby without having a
man in her life. Tony's nonna is dying of Cancer and everyone in his
family is coming up with something amazing for her before she goes. Tony
still dosn't know what to do. Nonna made her wishes for Tony clear. She
either wants him to become a priest or to get married and have
children. So when Trish asks him to make a baby with her he is unsure
about it at first. The more he thinks about it though he knows that it
will be the perfect gift for Nonna.
Things aren't always as easy as you think though and if Tony and
Trish thought that they were going to keep thier hearts out of this,
they might have another thing coming.
I thought this book was
great. I would definately recommend reading. I love that no matter what
the problem is they find their way past it. Tony is considererd the
screw up in his family and Trish is a competent business owner. Trish
does not see Tony as the screw up that everyone else does. I like that
even though it upsets people like her best friend Trish is always
defending Tony. I like that everyone in Tony's family is willing to go
to extreeme measures to make sure that Nonna's last days will be
wonderful.
