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.
What happens at Comic-Con, stays at Comic-Conβ¦
Robotics engineer Jenny Nguyen has given up on finding Mr.
Right. So when her brother and his husband approach her to
act as surrogate for their child, she sees it as her only
chance to have a child and accepts. One week after she
initiates the process, however, she meets a man who gets her
heart pumping for all the right reasons and gives into the
temptation. When the test turns positive, sheβs believes she
canβt handle both the pregnancy and dating, but she
underestimates how persistent Daniel Kelly can be.
When surgeon and gamer-geek Dan meets a pretty woman dressed
as a Sailor Scout at Comic-Con, a roll of his lucky
twenty-sided die tells him he should take a gamble on her.
One night of passion leaves him longing for more, but
Jennyβs refusal to return his calls afterward leaves him
wondering if the attraction was one-sided. An accidental
discovery of her pregnancy has him convinced the baby is
his, and heβll stop at nothing to win her heart.
