I absolutely adored this book!Baby by Design by Elley Arden follows Trish DeVign, a successful interior designer who desperately wants to have a baby and what better way to have one then asking your best friends brother? If you could see me right now, you’d know I’m grinning. I genuinely enjoyed the plot of this story.Trish was completely uptight and so high strung, but it was part of her charm and I liked how her character craved family. Even from the beginning of the story we got to see how Trish strives to fit in. She’s been looking for someone to Father her child for a while, but with no luck until she decides to ask Tony Corcarelli, her best friend Angie’s brother.Tony is awesome. I love how snarky and charming he is. The way he’s described it the book probably made me swoon as much as Trish did. I really like his friendship with Trish and how they expand their working relationship to include more. Arden’s plot involving Tony’s grandmother and family was the perfect way to push Trish and Tony together and it didn’t feel forced like a lot of storylines.While I loved Tony’s family, I didn’t like how Angie and Vin were always judging him and putting him down. Despite Tony’s carefree lifestyle he’s genuinely a good guy and I love his interactions with Trish. I think my favorite scene had to be the dance at her family’s wedding. The scene was so hot and yet at the same time, it was just a dance.There were so many great parts in this book, but I don’t want to give them all away by talking about them here. The story was sweet and the characters were great. I don’t think there’s one person I didn’t like. It was a quick and entertaining read and I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking for something sweet and fluffy to read.
