I really liked this one. I felt the right amount of suspense and finally the hero got his shit together!

I didn't like it. While it was an interesting concept I wasn't a fan of the way it all unfolded. It went from his first time donating sperm to by the end of book he probably donated 20+ times (he went once a week, not sure if he ever stopped going even after learning of heroine's pregnancy).
It was disturbing how many times the hero donated sperm, even after dating and sleeping with heroine. I was hoping at some point he would stop and try to get his sperm back but no he just kept showing up for his appointments. So he'll probably have lots of children out there.
I did not like the hero at all, he was so insecure about all his debts, he constantly thought about his ex and how she made him not trust women. So he kept finding issues with heroine deciding not to trust her and would not contact her for days or weeks, they would talk and be good for a few days and then that cycle kept repeating over and over until just 2 weeks before she gave birth. He was absent for the majority of her pregnancy.
Heroine was ok, but she kept letting him treat her badly by ignoring her and then she would be bigger person and talk to him first. She came across as a little delusional at times wanting her baby to have it's father, when she got inseminated to have a baby by herself in the first place.
I don't care that she used his sperm since he did donate it so he should expect it to be used and there to be several children out there one day. P.

Delizioso piccolo romanzo pieno di voglia di maternità, tenerezza e realismo. Lei vuole un figlio e si rivolge a una banca del seme. Peccato che conosca il donatore, perché lei lavora lì, e lo scelga perché le piace. Ma lui la invita a uscire insieme e tutto si complica. Molto carino.

Cerita ini lumayan menarik menurut saya.
Ali memutuskan untuk menjadi ibu tunggal dan memilih menjalani pembuahan bayinya dengan program bayi tabung. Hal ini memang sangat mungkin, mengingat Ali bekerja di bank sperma. Jadilah Ali menjalani program tersebut dan berhasil hamil.
Hanya saja, tiba-tiba Ali berkenalan dan jatuh hati dengan dr. Brad Darling. Saat Brad mengetahui kehamilan Ali, Brad sadar bahwa anak yang dikandung Ali bukanlah anaknya karena usia kandungan yang sudah lebih tua ketimbang saat pertemuan pertama mereka. Ini membuat Brad kecewa karena menyangka Ali membohongi Brad.
Pada akhirnya saat dirunut balik, ternyata anak yang dikandung Ali memang anak Brad, hanya saja terjadi karena pembuahan bayi tabung.

But I've read the Indonesian ones (Harlequin Edition)

It was so bad that I had to read the entire thing in sick fascination. It starts with what I am fairly sure is a seriously medically unethical act and just goes from there. Egads.

01 SM BANCO DE BEBES
UNA FANTASÍA MARAVILLOSA
Trabajar en un banco de esperma tenía sus ventajas. Ali Celeste podía quedar embarazada sin tener que esperar a su príncipe azul. Pero una vez puesto en marcha el "proyecto niño", Ali conoció al donante, un guapo médico llamado Brad Darling. Y la atracción entre ellos fue innegable. Después de una noche de pasión, Ali descubrió que estaba embarazada. Pero las cuentas no salían y Brad pensó que, ni él era el padre del niño, ni ella tan inocente como parecía. Ali tendría que convencerlo de que aquello no era ninguna trampa para casarse con él; sencillamente, el destino y la medicina moderna habían conspirado para reunir a dos almas gemelas...
