A fabulous read from start to finish

I just finished reading this wonderful story that has everything a reader could ask for in book - a fun, sexy hero who knows exactly what he wants in a prospective partner. Divorce lawyer Cooper Smith has a practice chock full of what can go wrong with a marriage, and he has the perfect plan to avoid becoming a divorce statistic - a list of mandatory qualities for his perfect spouse. Topping that list - accommodating and non-confrontational. Sophie is the polar opposite of his ideal compliant counterpart. She's an adorable outspoken, independent woman who wants to live life on her terms. She's adamant she won't end up like her parents whose marriage is punctuated by endless arguments and who only married because there was a baby on the way. This story starts off with Cooper charging to Sophie's rescue in a spectacularly charming and unconventional way. Both Cooper and Sophie are of the same opinion, that they are not the least bit suited to the other except in bed. As the story's title implies (The Australian Millionaire's Love-Child), an unexpected pregnancy turns their fabulous no-strings-attached night into a fun romp that transforms this unmatched pair into the perfect couple. Enjoy! I did.

Dazzling and Enchanting

Robyn Grady continues to deliver an emotional and entertaining story in The Australian Millionaire's Love-Child. The reader is introduced to Sophie who is attending a friend's wedding shortly after a break-up with her boyfriend; on top of that, she's feeling insecure about herself and the extra weight she's gained; not to mention old friends comments about her situation. However, in the end it makes her realize she needs to make some changes and take charge of her life! We've all been there at one time in our lives, single....attending a lovely wedding.....no date and that "horrible" bouquet toss for those single! Talk about embarrassing! Yes, you guessed it, Sophie's was feeling the same way so she tried to be inconspicuous and didn't join the group. However, little did she know the bouquet was not caught but would land in her lap and on top of everything else, Sophie didn't realize that the most gorgeous man she'd ever set eyes on would overhear her friends discussing her lack of a boyfriend or the pounds she had put on! Enter Cooper Smith to the rescue. Cooper is not only tall, dark and handsome, he's a man who decides to take action and rescue Sophie, by physically swooping her up in his arms, and kissing her in front of the wedding guests. They both decide to have a nightcap in Cooper's penthouse, learn a little about each other and that's when Sophie learns that Cooper is a driven and successful attorney, one with a plan......he's looking for a wife, wants a family and has made a list of requirements, none of which appeal to Sophie; just the man himself and oh what a man! One thing leads to another and they end up making love all night. From the beginning they both realize they want different things and as they say, they are both opposites and disagree about what's important in a marriage......for Sophie its love and for Cooper compatibility, an agreeable and stay at home wife and at least children. So at the end of their evening, they agree to go their separate ways. So, that's the beginning of this enchanting and dazzling love story. What I felt made this book so remarkable was the way Robyn Grady gave the reader a deep emotional connection to the story and the characters. The way she developed the relationship between Cooper and Sophie and the new found knowledge they would soon be parents will have you reading this story from cover to the end. What's even better is how they deal with their differences in opinion, and Cooper's manipulation and dominance. For Sophie she wonders is she "the pre-wrapped package" or is she his destiny? Can they make this relationship work? Can they find love? Hopefully you'll read and find out the answers and enjoy The Australian Millionaire's Love-Child as much as I did.....you'll laugh, cry, get exasperated with Cooper and love Sophie!
