I’m a walking contradiction.
School principal who liberally drops the F bomb.
Fiercely independent yet willing to auction myself off for charity.
Serial monogamist who’s down for a no-strings one-night stand.

Except now I’ve gone from one-working-ovary to co-parent in the time it took a stick to turn blue.

F. Bomb.

Ian Donovan may be a richer-than-hell venture capitalist, but he’s no Prince Charming ready to sweep me off my feet. Good thing I don’t need him. I’ve been doing fine on my own for forty years, and I’m not about to start changing that now.

Ultrasounds, swollen feet, midnight cravings? Bring. It. On.

But why is it when you finally swear off men, you meet one who’s too sexy—and determined we can make it work?

F. Bomb.

Review:

I saw this book on my newsfeed and the cover caught my eye. I went on NetGalley and the book sounded like something I would read and I took a chance. I have to say as soon as I opened up the book, I was laughing out loud on the first page. I LOVED Erin. She is no nonsense, funny, tells it like it is and has a good heart. Ian is your typical charming, rich playboy with tons of baggage. After Ian bids on Erin at a school auction, they agree to have a one night, no strings attached, adult night. Erin ends up pregnant a few weeks later. Surprise!

I know this is a friends to lover book but it took SO long for them to get on the same page. Ian has so many issues and I felt the book was going on and on about his issues when it should have been about the two of them getting to know each other better. I didn’t feel the passion between the couple. It really felt like two friends having a baby the whole time. I loved the premise but the execution was lacking. This is my first time reading this author and even though the book felt short in some areas, it was still an enjoyable read.  Please don’t let my review stop you from reading.
