Book Review: The Proposition by Katie Ashley

SYNOPSIS:
With her thirtieth birthday looming, Emma Harrison finds her biological clock clanging and the elusive knight in shining armor yet to appear. She’s running out of options, especially after her gay best friend backs out from being her sperm donor. Of course, there’s always a sperm bank, but Emma fears a donor mix-up might impregnate her with the spawn of Satan.
Resident company womanizer, Aidan Fitzgerald, is used to always getting what he wants, especially in the bedroom. When Emma spurns his advances at the company Christmas party, he's determined to have her no matter what it takes. After Aidan learns of Emma's predicament, he is quick to offer a proposition that will benefit them both. He will father Emma's child, but she must conceive it with him naturally. Not one for hook-ups or casual sex, Emma is reluctant to take him up on his offer, but his charm, coupled with her intense desire for motherhood, wins out.
Soon their baby-making sessions become more than just physical. Aidan can't seem to walk away from her while Emma begins to wonder if Aidan could be the one. But can Aidan leave his past behind to become the man Emma needs him to be?



MY REVIEW:
Well. This book... Damn. I got a free sample for this on my kindle and fell in love with the  first two chapters so I decided to buy it. It was kind of iffy at the beginning because this random guy wants to have sex with you because you want a baby. WHAT. That part was kind of creepy. I mean they work in the same building but still. I think they should have started it with the party and talked about how they met initially. That's important for their baby-making process. I did like this book a lot more than I thought I would. There were cheesy lines here and there that I didn't like but other than that the story was good. I knew they were going to get together. It was inevitable! I fell in love with Aidan but at the end, he was a total dickhead. I wanted to punch him in his beautiful face. I cant even begin to explain how I annoyed I was with him. I liked Emma too. She was the sweetest girl. I can see her being the best mom. The only thing I didn't like about this book was the repetition. Emma kept telling Aidan how he wasn't a man whore and a good person on the inside. And, I felt there wasn't a big issue in this book except at the end. Although I had minor issues, I really want to continue on with this story! Overall, I gave this book a 3/5 stars.
