Making Babies
Chloe's Donor: Chloe Simon has a problem. The semen she received did not belong to her selected donor, a sensitive patron of the arts. It belonged to a special operations soldier who only banked his sperm in case he and his mission blew up. Now Dev Gallagher is back, staking a claim on their unborn child. He wants to marry her, enjoy some buried to the hilt sex, and then divorce her after the baby's birth. Her head says no, but her heart and hormones scream an orgasmic yes! The hormones win. Chloe opts out of the marriage proposal, but opts in for a trip to his mountain cabin for the promised mind-blowing sex. Rating: Carnal. Fulfillment: The Hawaiian conference was the ideal setting to implement Christian's 'just slightly odd' plan. It coincided fortuitously with the peak of Carly's fertility cycle. They could do the deed, protect both their reputations and their jobs, and no one would be the wiser-Carly would have the baby she wanted, and her 'anonymous' donor could remain unknown. Carly had doubts the plan would work, but she had no inkling just how bizarre a turn her quest for a gene donor could take. She certainly hadn't anticipated that she would end up in the bed of the one man she most definitely didn't want to know about her plans-her boss. Rating: Spicy/Carnal. Adult situations and language. Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance.

Characters
Chloe Simon - The woman who has always known disappointment. Waiting around for the perfect man seems to be a pipers dream, so Chloe does the next best thing to get what she want – she cut out the middle – Man.
Dev Gallagher – Assertive, confident, great under pressure and a first class bull shitter. That was however all before he met Chloe – then his positive aren’t looking like that sure thing any more.
The Plot
After making her selection for a sperm donor based on her own personal life experience – Chloe is more than OK with the more than obvious result. A little bundle of joy to call her own.
However her contentment only last for so long –as the anonymous donor is no longer anonymous and he has a list of demands all of his own.
Not wanting to seem disingenuous Chloe decides to at least attempt to meet Dev half way with his demands. There are something's that Chloe likes and Dev have them in spade, but will her practicality clash with Dev’s dreams.
Surprise Element
I was surprised by how much i liked this story. I have had this book for a while and for some reason the name jumped out at me last week and i was finished with it before i even settle down - The pace was that quick, the characters loveable and the story condensed to a particular time frame, which made it a great read for me.
Smut/Ick Factor
Chloe is no shy flower in any aspect of her life and when it comes to sex, she firmly believe in enjoying all that life has to offer.
Dev is no slouch either these too not only have some creative moments, but they were so vocal about the whole thing – that they gave a new meaning to the word multiply orgasm.
I love the smut scenes in this book.
Positive
First off, i love the blurb – I always feel there is generally not a lot of creativity that goes into this part of a book – but this blurb i really like. It intrigued, it gave so much about the book and yet told me nothing.
This is a contemporary read that have a steady pace, with some angsty issues that from the first few pages in – you are caught up in the moment of this book.
Dev and Chloe are likable enough protags. I enjoyed meeting them – I didn’t miss a background on either of them as only what was necessary to the story was given to us and it worked.
The beauty of pregnancy was very well played and the fact that Chloe was introduce to us as a woman with a temper, but also a quite grace. I especially liked Dev’s totally fascination with Chloe’s ever expanding waistline.
The secondary characters were really strong and i like how Ms. Ferruci boxed them in as they had a life of their own and could have easily taken over the story without too much of a strain.
Support, friendship and loyalty was one of the storyline that was play up this book - there were moment of shock as well as moments of shocking disbelieve. But all in all there was a bond between these people that i totally got.
There was a few realities to this book in relation to the donor program, the pregnancy itself and male bonding that i thought was well thought out and presented.
Due to the length of the book, i very much liked how the author kept it condensed to a time period and not allow the frivolous details of travel and support cast to take away from the actual story.
A sweet read that did what it was meant to do – let me escape from it all. CHLOE’S DONOR also has scope for spin off book and I do hope Ms. Ferruci will revisit some of these character with there own book.
Negative
This is one of those read that it would just be nit picking to find a fault. As always depending on your particular taste you may find personal issue with the book, but i like it – A lot.
Cover
I like it. It took me a few look to see the little bump of the baby. I do so love a woman in the full bloom of pregnancy.
