Customer Reviews

slow paced but good

I didn't think I would like this book at first because I couldn't relate to Catherine at all. She seemed a little too upper class perfect at first. However, Gray was an absolute dream. In fact it was hard to believe that at the age of 32 nobody had snapped him up. Not very much history was given about Gray but since this is a Silhouette Romance and not War and Peace that's not that big an issue. I loved the interactions between Catherine and Gray and the slow build of the romance which culminated in some very steamy sex scenes! I also liked the fact there were no bad guys in this book. All in all this was a slow paced but likable book. I'm glad I read it.

A delightful read

Jessie wants a baby and childhood friend Ryan decides he would be the best donor. However, he wants a family so they agree to get married after she is artificially inseminated. As their fetus grows inside her, Jessie realizes she is in love but knows love is not part of the agreement. Ryan is torn by the fact he has always loved Jessie, and although he thought he could settle for having a "part" of her, he realizes he needs to have ALL of her. Anne Marie Winston created lovely characters that have a beautiful friendship. The story is woven nicely and as Ryan and Jessie's fetus develops, it's joyous to watch their friendship blossom into passionate love.

Another good story by Anne Marie Winston. . .

Garrett treats Ana badly from the start, because he incorrectly assumes Ana was his deceased step-father's lover. Ana is angry, and rightly so, at Garrett's poor treatment of her and his insulting judgment that she is some gold-digger after his step-father's will. It is enjoyable to watch Garrett dig a hole for himself as Ana keeps the secret that his step-father was also her long lost father. Joining Ana's amusement at Garrett's incorrect and outrageous assumptions was downright funny. Almost as fun as watching Garrett fall totally out of sorts as he realizes he is completely falling for her.

An enjoyable read.

Anne Marie Winston created some likeable characters in this novel - especially Gray, what woman wouldn't want a man like him? The plot revolves around the fact that Gray had a heart transplant and received Catherine's deceased husband's heart. After getting to know Catherine, he is afraid to tell her about the heart transplant (for obvious reasons), which puts a thorn in their relationship. Winston also creates a very interesting twist regarding the transplant that helps us get to know Catherine through her first marriage. This was a good book & easy to breeze through.

Friends to Lovers

Jessie and Ryan have been friends almost their entire lives. Ryan is a widower and rich and successful. Jessie is single and struggling to keep her business afloat. But she wants a baby. She decides to ask her friend Ryan to be the donor for the sperm. He balks at first, but agrees on one condition: that they marry. She is reluctant, but eventually agrees but only if she gets pregnant. She does, and at this point, the story becomes fast paced and races to the inevitable end...they find love and happiness.It was a good story. Much better than the usual sperm donation and let's get married books out there. Anne Marie Winston knows how to keep a reader immersed in her books, and this did not fail. The only complaint I have is that the characters themselves seemed incomplete to me. Although their families and lives when they were young are discussed, I did not really feel like I could understand their motives. If Ryan had loved Jessie for so long, why did he not say so earlier?But this is a minor issue with me and did not diminish my enjoyment of the book. For a quick read, I recommend this.
