Avery Yueng has a family history of cancer. After her sister needs to have a hysterectomy and Avery is found to have the same genetic markers for cancer, she decides she doesn't want to wait for Mr. Right to come along. She wants to try to have her own baby while she still can. When she announces this to her friends, it doesn't go well. Her best friend since childhood, Drew Flannery, knows that a sperm donor won't provide the emotional and financially support Avery will need as a single mother. Drew decides then and there that he wants to help her get pregnant and be there to support her and her baby in any way they need.
It doesn't hurt that just the thought of trying to get Avery pregnant is throwing Drew's libido into overdrive. Avery and Drew have been there for each other since they were kids, but over the years they have both had a strong attraction for the other that they have been trying to tamp down. Drew has had his share of fantasies about his friend and Avery measures every man she meets by Drew.
The sex between them is amazing. Yet neither wants to voice their deepest fear -- will the sex ruin the friendship that means so much to them or worse, will they have to give up the best sex either has ever had once Avery gets pregnant?
THOUGHTS:
This is certainly not the first "let me help you make a baby" story that I have read, but it was definitely the best. In other books the man never thinks past the baby making portion, knowing he doesn't want anyone else to be the father the baby, but not wanting to be the Dad. Here, Drew's first thoughts are supporting Avery both emotionally and financially, then he gets excited about making a baby.
Drew does take time to get to the I want to be a Dad thoughts since he anticipates Avery just wanting this baby for herself and he'll just be around as Uncle Drew. Why does it take so long for the guys to realize if they don't step up, someday their heroine is going to get married and some other guy is going to take over raising your kid?
Avery fears that Drew, who has never had any real relationship with a woman, is just in it for the sex and he doesn't want any more.
Everyone around them sees how perfect they are together. Both teeter so close to confessing and you're like "Yes. Yes. Just say that!" but then they shy away from putting their heart out there for fear that any rejection would destroy their friendship.
These characters have great chemistry both in and out of the bedroom which makes the story so enjoyable.
