Dr. Jane tricks a man into getting her pregnant. Hilarity ensues as it turns out he is outraged by her action, does not feel he can trust her and wants to be part of his child's life. SEP's writing is stronger than this book's storyline -- and if anyone can sell a love story about an ethically challenged supergenius who gets pregnant, it is she. (But this is just a dolled up fantasy version of the old chestnut of a woman who tricks a man into sex so she can get pregnant, not to mention that you a supergenius should know that a high IQ parent plus a low or normal IQ parent doesn't equal a normal IQ kid -- it's not like mixing red and yellow to get oranage.)

I did not like this book at first. I felt uncomfortable with the situation and Cal's response, I felt, was extreme. But then they go to his hometown, and finally Jane finds her family in the Bonners. After Cal stops being an ass, he's okay but I could read and reread the relationships she develops with Cal's Granny and towards the end, Cal's mom. This story has a strong "nothing is what it seems" theme. We all have a story, it's just too bad we can't all go to Heartbreak Mountain and sit with Annie, grow a garden, dance to Rod Stewart and think things through.
SEP is one of the few women authors who do not write other female characters as the enemy! (As mom of 2 daughters, I do not want to read about warring females! ) She is always a pleasure to read!(even if Cal was an ass in the beginning)

I was uncomfortable with the situation between the two of them to start with. . . but as their relationship developed it was a funny & fun book. Liked it enough to search out more of her books.

I wasn't sure what I thought about this story for the first chapter or two. It was told from the perspective of someone not really involved in the story and while it was a good way to handle the exposition, it also left me not really caring about anyone or getting really involved in the story. As the story progressed, our 180 IQ heroine does so many morally questionable and socially stupid things, it was difficult to like her. Then the hero was kind of a 18th century jerk and I couldn't see any appeal to anyone. However I finally realized that some of this was the mating dance, and the story was actually quite engaging, to the point I stayed up most of the night to finish the book. Susan Elizabeth Phillips delivered a lot of surprises, some interesting facts, charming characters, and a fun, very entertaining story.
