John Trent's lawyer has convinced him to produce a heir in order to prevent the free-for-all that would occur should the daredevil billionaire bite the dust. Since John doesn't have a girlfriend or even any former girlfriends who aren't total gold diggers, he turns to his assistant whom he knows he can trust. Amy has been John's assistant for three years and she's loved him the whole time. When John suggests that Amy carry his child, she wonders if he would still ask her if he knew how much she loved him. Does he feel anything for her in return?I've read a lot of these billionaire/employee erotica story-lines, and this one is somewhere in the middle for me. I think it's the lack of build up and anticipation, that made this not as great for me. John and Amy have had a platonic relationship for years now with hidden feelings between them. The plot pushed them together in a very matter-of-fact way; it wasn't exciting and it wasn't hot.The sex scenes were fun, don't get me wrong. But part of the reason women like erotica is the hot story that leads to the hot sex. Therefore, this was just okay for me. If the whole business of "I need a baby, like yesterday" was eliminated, maybe it would have worked better for me. I do appreciate the author trying to twist this a little differently though, even if it wasn't a favorite for me.
