This was a sweet read.  Even though you know how it’s going to end up, it was still fun following along.   Liz is an obstetrician who served in Doctors Without Borders where she met the world famous correspondent Grant Wilbanks and had a passionate affair in Kenya.  But he couldn’t commit to anything long-term because a guy has to travel and report on international disasters and can’t fall in love.  

Now it’s a year later and Grant has been thrown out of Kenya and has come to Liz’s small town in North Carolina to stay in his aunt’s home right next door to Liz.  Yeah, go figure that a couple might meet in Kenya and next see each other in a small rural community in North Carolina.  

Grant shows up just at the right moment for Liz to ask him to serve as a donor for her to get pregnant.  And then they fall back in bed together and seem to be falling in love.  But it’s time for Grant to leave again to go to some dangerous hotspot in Africa.  

You know what’s going to happen and it happens very quickly.  Over three-quarters of the book is the set-up and then the book is quickly over.  I liked the characters and would have liked a little more depth to their situation and the troubles they had working it out instead of having the HEA wrapping things up so rapidly.  But that’s not what a book this length does.  If you want a quick, sweet read, this will fit the bill.

I was given a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

LOVED this book! I was drawn into Liz and Grant's story from the very first page and was totally engaged until the very last page and turning pages just as quickly as possible. I loved the characters and felt invested in their story - I even loved Liz's family and dog. How could you not love a rescue dog named Gizmo? Too sweet for words.

If you enjoy contemporary romance, you will love this book. This is a must read for fans of the genre. While this is the first book I've read by the author, it won't be the last. I've added her to my must read authors' list.

It was okay.
A well traveled route, man unable to 'love' due to mommy and daddy issues and woman who has given up on finding her happy ever after esp since she's had a divorce (cheating husband).
It has an added extra, he works away in dangerous situations related to his issues and they have met before.
Bit predictable but if you like this sort of story then it's fine.  But it wasn't wow or a re-read for me.

Such a cute and fun read, was cheering for those sperm to hit their target!!L
