When I applied to medical school, I never thought I'd be paying the bill by becoming a surrogate. I suppose a girl has to do what she has to do in the end, so I decided to intercept Uncle Sam before he could come for me. Funny enough, it's surprisingly easy to find willing participants. I answered an ad, and the guy showed up at the coffeehouse we agreed to meet at. He showed up frickin'...beautiful and with brown eyes that tightened my tummy in ways they probably shouldn't have. He looks familiar to me. Like I've seen him on the news or in the paper or something.

And the last thing I should be doing is falling for the guy whose baby I volunteered to carry.

Alexander

She's obviously here for someone else, agreed to meet someone else. About a baby? She wants to carry...my baby? Oddly, before the moment I met this woman, the thought had never really crossed my mind. I suppose the idea never had time to form considering I've just been cleared of cancer. I get the news right before I meet her. I meet her, and everything changes. I want a baby. I want another chance to lead a fulfilling life, and I want...her.

But how can I have them both?

Contains mature themes.

Storyline vs narration

The storyline is fine though I wasn’t a huge fan of how things ended with Alex personal stuff. The male narrator was fine but the woman made it incredibly difficult to get through

Hit or miss

This book was cute but a little boring. I could see why many asked why a white man would seek a black surrogate because I found myself asking the same thing. The antagonists are the best part of the book because it makes me root for both of them. But it was a little boring sometimes. He was a cancer survivor and she was a woman in debt.

I wanted something deeper but it was a cute short read.

Love it!!

Excellent book loved it! Both narrators are excellent as well!! They are like listening to old friends

Greatttt

Amazing story..just has a part that’s SUPER unrealistic..if she’s having the baby of a BILLIONAIRE, who takes care of everything for her..why the hell is this woman still taking the bus??!? So he gets her EVERYTHING but she’s still taking public transportation? 😭

Story was good

The story was good but the female narrator was irritating. The way she drew her words out drove me crazy. But I did enjoy the story overall.
