review 1: 2.5 starsFor me this is one of those meh books. Not bad, but not very good either.I kind of see it as a shallow book. It lacks development.I do admit to liking Paul a bit and I totally believed him being poor. I was actually hungry reading the whole book. This part did make an impact on me.But his relationship with Cameron, I wasn’t really feeling it…….And I hated the thing with the million pens. It made no sense. She just threw a quirk out there so she could tie it up with the ending. Annoying!
review 2: This story was so much better than I thought it would be. I don't know why, but the cover led me to believe it would be something short and sweet and, though it was indeed sweet, it was so much more. Paul was the sperm donor when his best friends, Ali... moreson and James, wanted to have a baby and baby Gabby is the child of his heart. He's very wrapped up in her life with them, as they want it to be. When he rushes to the hospital in the middle of the night after a frantic phone call from them, he finds out the baby is going to be okay, and he finds an attraction to the ER doctor which is apparently reciprocated. Cameron, the doctor, is immediately attracted to Paul and gives him his number. Paul hesitates to follow through because his luck is so lousy. He's suffering under a mountain of debt, primarily from hospital bills he took on when his parents were killed in an accident and his dad lingered quite a while before dying. He's working as a sales clerk with no benefits, and he's barely making enough to keep the minimal payments on the bills, never mind find money for food. Cameron takes him to dinner and marvels at how much Paul can pack away, little knowing that it might be the only meal Paul has for several days. But the attraction is there and the two make the commitment to see if something develops. This is a slow, sweet developing romance with Paul maintaining as much independence as he can and finally admitting that he wants Cameron as much as Cameron wants him. He won't let Cameron pay his debts, but he does compromise in other ways. And the two spend so much time with the baby that it's evident that both will want their own child in the future. I like the way the author handled their relationship, allowing small changes each time and finally giving us a hopeful HEA, with that future family in sight as well. The pens on the cover? Cameron collects them. Can't help himself. Just keeps picking up pens to the point where they are in mugs all over his house. It was just a minor side issue to the story. Recommend this to my friends who like a slow-developing romance, with a little bit of angst and a nice, satisfying HEA. less
