I read and loved Not In A Billion Years so I was very excited for the next book in the series. You don't need to have read NIABY first but I'd recommend it to get familiar with the characters. Blake, the female main character (FMC) is best friends with Marissa, the FMC in Baby One More Time.
Marissa Mayers is almost 34 and has been chronically single since she was ghosted by her high school boyfriend on their prom night. Sixteen years later, she still has trust issues so has never allowed herself to get close to anyone. I usually don't enjoy this in a book. I am very much a "it's been years, get over it!" type of person but I overlooked it here because I liked the plot.
Marissa decides to go it alone and have a baby via IVF. She gets to the clinic and in place of her regular doctor who is at a conference, a new doctor will be treating her. Dr. John Raikes, Marissa's ex-boyfriend who has recently divorced his wife and moved back to the city with his daughter Nora.
I don't usually enjoy a pregnancy trope but this had a bit of a twist. Isley writes beautiful characters and I always find it hard to put her books down!
If you like the single dad or second chance romance tropes, this is for you. Can't wait for the next in the series!
