"Baby Maker" was a sweet, heartwarming story of finding love after loss that managed to deal with several highly emotional subjects in a relatively upbeat manner. I loved the instant connection, witty banter, and intense chemistry between widow Calliope "Calli" Webster and Dr. Keegan Russo, the specialist Calli consulted for help when she decided that the best way to move forward and honor her late husband's memory was to fulfill their dream of having children. Calli and Keegan became friends very quickly, and while they both obviously wanted more, they held back because of professional concerns on Keegan's side as well as
their respective baggage in regards to relationships. They eventually gave into their feelings, but it was difficult for Calli in particular to let go of the past. She wasn't willing to settle for less than what she'd had with her late husband, Nigel, but what if she wasn't capable of
loving someone else the way she had loved him?
Overall,
I loved "Baby Maker" and highly recommend it for all fans of emotional contemporary romance. It was the first book I've ever read by this author, but it certainly won't be the last.

About "Baby Maker"
Calliope:
I believe in love. Or I did until my husband died.
Now, I believe in surviving this world without him.
I have a plan mapped out for the rest of my life, and it doesn’t involve a man. I’ve been down that road, and I’m not willing to risk my heart again.
Not even for the devastatingly handsome and charming Dr. Keegan Russo, who also happens to be one hell of a kisser.
My head has plans, but what happens when my heart can’t say no?
Keegan:
Hot as hell sex with no strings attached. That’s my credo.
It works, too, until she walks into my office.
Calliope. A young widow with totally different priorities than me.
There’s no future for us, but I can’t stay away, either.
For the first time, I want something complicated and messy, and I want it with her.
But that means breaking the promise I made her on the day we met.
Baby Maker is a love after loss/forbidden romance inspired by British Bedmate.
