Rating: 5
Summary: In need of funny and romantic story, stop looking!
Comment: You'll love Jane Darlington the minute you meet her and you'll never want to live without the handsome Cal Bonner. Susan E. Phillips has a great gift to open up the romantic side in everyone. She tells the story of two people in desperate need of one another but yet unaware of that very fact.
Jane Darlington believes to lead an empty life, so she sets up her mind on having a child of her own and the lucky sperm donator is quickly chosen, our own football star Cal Bonner. Unfortunately, Dr. Jane cannot (as planned) keep her pregnancy a secret from our great quaterback Calvin Bonner. With his sense of duty he forces her to marry him and chaos breaks loose all aorund them.
This is a heart-warming story full of passion, fun and love. Jane Darlington is warm and intelligent woman with many all too human flaws at the same time. And Cal Bonner is at first a man not from this world, until we realise that he is in fact a very believable and loveable man who needs someone to settle him down.
If you have a romantic vein running through you, you'll never go wrong with Susan E. Phillips great stories. Don't hesitate and buy this sharp and witty story.

Summary: Funny, poignant, sweet, and enjoyable
Comment: I discovered this book through my Amazon.com friend Janlouise's review and decided to check it out - and I'm glad I did! My only prior SEP book was BREATHING ROOM, but now I think I'm going to have to read all the books in the Bonner Brothers/Chicago Stars series. BUT I must say that you have to suspend belief a bit in the beginning. For a woman supposedly so smart, some of her ideas and the way she goes about getting pregnant are kind of ridiculous (since when are only smart guys sperm donors?!).
Brilliant physicist Dr Jane Darlington wants a child desperately, but there's no man in her life and she has some specific requirements for a potential father, so she decides a dumb jock like Chicago Stars quarterback Cal Bonner will perfectly suit her needs. See Jane had a very sad and lonely childhood isolated from the other kids who thought she was some sort of brainiac freak (she was in college at 16). She figures that his lack of smarts will balance out her abundance of them (?!) and her kid will have a better life than she did. So she poses as a hooker and allows herself to be Cal's birthday gift from his teammates. Soon she is ecstatically pregnant but her ecstasy doesn't last long. Unfortunately for Jane, Cal finds out and he's NOT happy about it (nor is he as dumb as she assumed he was - summa cum laude not dumb - how did her plan go so wrong?!). His strong sense of family drives him to marry Jane with every intention of divorcing her once the baby is born. But the press won?t leave them alone, so he takes her to his hometown of Salvation, NC to hide out for a bit.
Slowly their mutual anger and dislike for each other starts to fade, but Cal doesn't want his family to get too attached to Jane and asks her to be cold and unpleasant around them. She reluctantly does so, though it hurts because his family is so nice. But time spent together starts to change things between them (there's certainly a strong sexual attraction) and as they get to know one another will they stay together or is there just too much between them to make this marriage work?
I liked Cal's character a lot (some disliked him in the beginning, but I felt he was totally justified in his anger toward Jane) and I laughed out loud at Jane's tampering with his Lucky Charms! Then there's his attempt to give her the make-out session at the drive-in that she never had as a teenager. That was sweet - and, okay, self-serving! And I loved how he would put on his "hillbilly-from-the-sticks-dumb-jock" act on for people he disliked or disrespected. I also found Cal's family enjoyable to read about: his brother Ethan (who gets his story in Dream a Little Dream), his sassy grandmother Annie and his parents who are in the midst of a mid-life marriage crisis. A really enjoyable book and I will definitely be checking out the rest in the series. A recommended read!
