I am going to start sounding like a broken record when it comes to Susan Elizabeth Phillips. And here I go again…. I fucking LOVED this book!!!!!!! What a shocker right? Seriously, I canNOT get enough of these fantastic books. Nobody's Baby But Mine is the third book in The Chicago Stars series. Although the books are written so that they can be read as stand alone, I personally recommend reading them in order.

You are not going to want to miss one single moment of any of these books. READ THEM ALL, in order, out of order, over and over if you wish… which you will. Just read them, and love them all.

Dr. Jane Darlington is a physicist. A genius. And that is not an exaggeration. She grew up feeling like a freak. Flying through school so quickly, she was working on her PhD, while her peers were just starting high school. So while other kids her age were experiencing their first kiss, she was studying sub-atomic particles. Not a boost to her social life, that’s for sure.

Now Jane is thirty-four, she is unmarried, and her biological clock is a ticking time-bomb. But finding a father for her most coveted baby-to-be, is proving to be even more complicated than she had anticipated. Because she refuses to put her baby through the same freakish childhood she experienced. So, she’s going to need to find someone to balance the genetic pool back into the normal zone. In other words… someone dumb.

Cal Bonner may be just the man to fit the bill. He is the current NFL quarterback for the Chicago Stars football team. He is gorgeous. He is unmarried. And his down-home southern boy ways make him appear to be just the kind of man she needs. But Jane may find out a little too late, that appearances can be deceiving.

On television she’d seen a country hick with a good body and bad grammar, but the man staring at her from the other side of the room had nothing of the hick about him. She had chosen a warrior.

She will also find out that getting herself into his bed may be a challenge that she is completely unprepared for.

There are so many things about this book that I loved. It was hilariously funny at times, painfully awkward at others. It was heartwarming and sad as well. Truthfully there was NEVER a dull moment. These two characters go head to head like the War of the Roses leaving you completely exhausted, and you will love every minute of it.

”I’m sorry, I must have misunderstood. I assumed you were able to handle a grown woman. Would you like me to call the office and have them send out ‘Punkin’? If she has her homework done, she should be available.”

And they say opposites attract… maybe not always. Jane is a bit shy and sweet, but she is also no doormat. When challenged, she is feisty as hell, and brilliant to boot. Whereas, Cal is a bit of as ass most of the time. He is surly and sarcastic, with the temper of a Tasmanian Devil. And he is not about to be taken advantage of, especially by an arrogant genius, baby-mad schemer of a woman.

”Everything about you is too big for me - not just your body, but your personality, your bank account, your temper, and definitely your ego.”

I absolutely LOVED this book!!! Just writing my review has me wanting to read it all over again. The supporting cast is superb. Cal’s parents become a bit of a side story that is just as interesting as the main characters. And Annie Glide, Cal’s 90 year-old grandmother is just fabulous!

“She glared at him. "You're doing it again."
"What?"
"That thing that irritates me."
"Smiling?"
"Yes. That.”

“You’re the most important thing in the world to me. I know you don’t believe it, but I’m going to prove it to you.”

I just cannot say enough about Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I love her books. I love her writing style. And I lament the day when I run out of her books to read. But something tells me I’ll be reading these over and over for years to come. I highly recommend!!!!!!
