Romance
I once read a story about a woman who fell in love with a
man. Nothing too unique about that but you see he was a
twin. The twins had been brought up believing you marry the
one who can tell them apart. Having always remembered this
little lesson it suddenly came to mind while reading
SHE'S HAVING THE BOSS's BABY by Kate Carlisle. Nothing is
more
magical than falling in love and I don't think you can help
but fall for these twins and the women who capture their
hearts. Nothing like a man who stubbornly resists any attempt to
form a lasting relationship with a member of the opposite
sex. Living in an idyllic resort where the temptations are
abounding. So why short change yourself? Bikini clad women
are a dime a dozen and Aidan truly appreciated these
opportunities. Members of Aidan's family have been catching the wedding
bug -- one by one lately and so when he finds himself really
noticing his senior vice president the ever organized and
efficient Eleanor he blames it all on the nuptials messing
with his head. In the middle of all this chaos both
personal and business Ellie does the unthinkable and asks
for a long vacation.
Well everyone's entitled to time off so why is Aidan so
upset. Ellie it seems isn't just going on a vacation. She is
taking a huge life changing step and having a baby. Please
understand there isn't a special someone in Ellie's life --
her dating life is practically nil. But that is not going
to stop this enterprising woman from having the one thing
she will not forego in her personal life. And that is a
baby. A baby represents someone who will love her
unconditionally. A little person who will bring something
to her life she realizes is sorely missing.
Aidan has a real problem with this sudden decision of
Ellie's. Since it is a personal decision you would think he
would keep his distance. But somehow his reaction is just
the opposite. Here's where the fun begins. Aidan is having a tough time
with Ellie's decision to have a child for so many reasons
it's hard to list them all. But here are a few choice ones.
He has an aversion to the whole turkey baster image with
using a fertility clinic. Add to that he can't understand
why Ellie has given up on the more natural approach after
all she is intelligent and beautiful. Men should be lining
up to date her. And now that image is also bothering poor
Aidan -- picturing Ellie with these men. Aidan is fighting his own battle with wondering why Ellie
didn't approach him. Not that he has any intention of ever
becoming a father. But best intentions sometimes are
flittering when there is a strong attraction to a member of
the opposite sex. Good sense flies out the window when the
little green eyed monster makes an appearance.
Pretty hard to conceive a child and remain detached and yet
Aidan brilliantly thinks his plan should work out well for
both Ellie and him. Ellie would stay on the island content
with her child and remain a trusted valuable employee for
the resort. He would of course help with support and
everything would be done in a legal professional manner.
Sorry to burst your bubble Aidan. You are about to venture
into unknown territory and if a deal is brokered between
you and Ellie be assured the outcome will be life
changing. But perhaps unconsciously that is exactly what
Aidan is hoping for. Stay tuned for the chase of a life
time. Kate Carlisle's story in SHE'S HAVING THE BOSS'S BABY is
funny and delightful. Sure it sounds contrived but some of
the best love stories start out as ill advised trysts. This
story abounds with good cheer and at the same time tackles
a time old problem. How do people who come from
dysfunctional homes find the strength and confidence to
start families of their own. Take the plunge, I assure you
Carlisle's book will keep a grin on your face. Enjoy.
SUMMARY
All Systems Are Go! Ovulation cycle? Check. Estrogen level? Check. Nothing can
stop Ellie Sterling's baby-making attempt at the fertility
clinic. Nothing but her CEO boss—and good friend—who offers
her an alternative to leaving their island headquarters:
let's make a baby the old-fashioned way. It isn't that Aidan Sutherland wants to be a baby daddy; he
just doesn't want to lose his senior VP. But Aidan's plans
for romance and candlelight quickly turn business into
pleasure. After one night with his pal Ellie, the
bikini-chasing billionaire is dazed, confused and—could it
be—in love?
