Book Description
Jane Darlington is 34, brilliant, and depressed -- she wants to have a baby. One night, the PhD is tricked into impersonating a hooker with the promise of landing a dumb-but-useful "sperm donor". After the world's worst striptease, she finds herself involved with football player Cal Bonner -- who isn't as dumb as she believes. When Jane achieves her goal of getting pregnant, Cal finds out the truth, marries Jane, and takes her back to his family home, where a host of other problems await the couple...not the least of which are the difficulties Cal's parents are having with their marriage.
The book deals with issues such as stereotyping jocks and finding trust after a big deception. There are hilarious moments (such as the "cereal killer" scene) and a lot of emotional interaction. Some readers might find Jane's actions dishonorable, but Susan Elizabeth Phillips builds her scenarios with such skill that the story and characters come together.
