Taylor Steele, a professional wealth and assets manager, knows she wants to have a baby. She just doesn’t want a husband. She also doesn’t want to take the adoption route, or be artificially inseminated. But who could she convince to help her conceive the natural way, with no strings attached? Taylor knows the only man that would make her plan work would be Dominic Saxon, one of her millionaire clients. Dominic is single, wealthy, and gorgeous. Taylor convinces him to go on a “procreation vacation” with her, to resort whose purpose is to help couples make babies. But while there, Taylor and Dominic start to wonder if this will truly be a no strings attached plan, or if something more is brewing between the sheets.
I don’t often read straight romance books, but I decided to take a chance on Irresistible Forces by Brenda Jackson. I really couldn’t get into it. The plot just seemed too absurd, and it was predictable from the beginning. Both Taylor and Dominic seem to have feelings from each other before the baby plans, yet try to do something with no strings attached? We can all see how this will end. No excitement or mystery was there. The middle of the book completely falls away from any plot or real dialogue, and is basically just Taylor and Dominic having sex. When there is dialogue, it sounds so unrealistic that I couldn’t really buy it. I did like the family aspect from Taylor’s point of view, her sister’s made for some nice side drama. This was a shorter book, but missed the mark for me.
