We met in a trapped elevator.
Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie.
I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right?
At thirty-five, my life hadn’t taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting—I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen.
After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner—he also insisted on something else—that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy. He was a wealthy and powerful CEO with little interest in diapers or playdates. And since he didn’t want kids, I’d be on my own once his bun was in my oven, free to go my own way.
But once his baby was inside me, it was like a switch had been flipped, and I got a whole lot more than I ever bargained for.

Baby Daddy takes us on a journey of one woman craving motherhood and will do anything possible in order to achieve this goal. That even means insemination. But on her way to her first appointment Jenna gets stuck in an elevator with none other than Mr. Playboy of all playboys, Emmett.
Emmett is a workaholic who has no time for the obligations and responsibility that comes with having a family. When he gets stuck in an elevator with Jenna and hears her crazy plan on how she’s going to achieve motherhood all by herself, well this man isn’t having that so he makes her an offer she can’t refuse.
A no strings attached relationship forms between the two with just one exception. When Jenna becomes pregnant the relationship ends….Haha….RIGHT!
Okay, first of all let me start by saying I really enjoyed this novel…..BUT….and this is a big but…..I found it very predictable. With a story line such as this there is a lot of room for twists and turns, for causing the reader to expect the unexpected and be on the edge of his/her seat. I was really bummed that none of this applied to this novel. I wanted and needed more.
On the other hand, I really enjoyed the vibe of this novel and Jenna’s determination to get what she wants out of life. I also loved Emmett’s swoony-ness.
Overall, I’m a sucker for a happily ever after. I enjoyed the ending to Emmett and Jenna’s story. A smile is still on my face. These two are the perfect fit.
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
I totally agree with you on it being predictable!
Nice review – I thought this book was perfectly fine as well, but nothing to make it really stand out. It was a sweet but predictable plot.
Thank you 🙂
