Publisher's summary

Johari

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.

the narration was very good.

the intimate scenes felt unnecessarily over the top, and somewhat out of place. In my opinion, they did nothing to advance the story.

Looking For A Surprise

It was okay. I guess I just wanted more from the story. There were weird inconsistencies in the story written just to create conflict that I just couldn't look past. Not worth the credit FOR ME. I wanted something to happen to surprise me but it never happened.

Captivating story

Love the male actor’s voice, the female actor was a bit too breathy. Great story can’t wait for part 2!!

Love it!!

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

Kept me wanting more

The man narrator was great very versatile with the voices but the female narrator wasn't very good with male voices. I love audiobooks with both male and female narrators it makes the storyline flow better.

So good

This book was well-written and it touched on a lot of different topics. I look forward to reading more books from this author.

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.

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

A love story filled with drama

The storyline probably one of the best, cheers to the author. I’m not going to lie, it did start slow and the female narrator wasn’t my favorite. But as the story continues, hopefully you will get used to it. ( I would prefer if the remade it with a different narrator, she don’t fit Jo). The male is prefect for Alexander. But overall, you can tell they do love each other and trying to figure things out. ( I had a regarding Alex and I wanted to cry lol) There not a lot of sex scene if you prefer, only 3 fill with emotion, raw and love

Beautiful Love Story

Story was so funny when it first started; then starts the drama, pain, misunderstandings, love, and happiness. Male narrator was spot on; female narrator talked as if on edge or overly excited throughout the book. I’ve listened to her before and this is her style, and appropriate depending on the book. All and all a great story.
