Robotics engineer Jenny Nguyen has given up on finding Mr. Right and settles on helping her brother and his husband have a baby. Just when she has given up THE HEART'S GAME is about to change. How could she ever imagine after initiating the process of surrogacy she would meet the perfect man at a Comic-Con.
Dr. Daniel Kelly might be a surgeon but he is also a gamer- geek and suddenly he has found the perfect woman. Any woman dressed as Sailor Scout is just what he is looking for. He can't know that this is the worst timing ever for her.
After a wild night of sex, she disappears, leaving Dan to wonder if he was the only one to feel anything. He has no way of knowing that his gamer side is about to bring her back to him. And she is carrying a surprise. Thinking the child is his Dan goes about trying to win her heart. Even when he learns the truth ... her heart is what he wants.
THE HEART'S GAME will tug at your heart and have you smiling and at times laughing throughout the book. Author Crista McHugh continues her Kelly Brothers series with this sweet, touching romance. Dan and Jenny are perfect for each other and of course the timing couldn't have been worse but that is life and Ms. McHugh makes it all work out. The chemistry between them, and the other family members that come into play, is amazing. I am a sucker for a close knit family and the Kelly's are just that; a quick call and you have the help you need. I did enjoy getting a little touch of the Vietnamese culture but I admit I was a little afraid of her mother ... that is one scary woman. Not a hardcore gamer myself I was still able to understand most of what was being said and done during this book, though I did look up some of the characters at the Comic-Con. I got a big kick out of the text message Jenny sent Dan at the end ... the perfect touch for two geeks.
I think a romance reader will find THE HEART'S GAME the perfect story to settle down with for a quiet evening. I can't wait to see what happens to the next brother.
