Nobody's Baby But Mine

Genius Physics Professor Dr. Jane Darlington desperately wants a baby. Believing her own miserable childhood was caused by her genius IQ, Jane wants the father to be less intelligent than her in hopes the child won't feel like a freak as she did. She needs someone...stupid. When Jane sees Cal Bonner, Quarterback for the Chicago Stars, giving an interview on television, he seems like the perfect choice. Jane learns too late that Cal Bonner is not the dumb jock he pretends to be. Cal is not about to be used as a sperm-donor. When he discovers her plan he is livid. He announces that they will be getting married and he will be part of the baby's life. This was certainly not part of Jane's plan.

Wow, the plot may be a bit unbelievable but this story still works. There is incredible chemistry, lots of humor, and great characters. Not only do we have Jane and Cal's story, but there is a secondary romance that was very satisfying. I first read this book 10 years ago. This time I listened to the audio. It's still a fantastic book that holds up with time. My rating: 5 Stars.
