One In A Million by Beverley Kendall
Whitney/Sahara has it all, the grammys, a successful singing career, as well as being an entrepreneur. What she doesn’t have however is a man. As a result Whitney decides to freeze her eggs until a worthy suitor comes along (she also has endometriosis). Unfortunately for Whitney, due to a “mix-up” at the fertility clinic, she finds out that she is the mother to a 6month old daughter of a married white couple…
I really did enjoy this book, it was such an easy read that did not require too much emotional investment from me. Sometimes these easy breezy reads are just what you need!
I won’t lie at first I was not a huge fan of Myles. I found him egotistical & sly. With him being the custodial parent to their daughter, I did begin to question how I would react to having to co-parent with someone I didn’t know on a personal level. The barriers he faced with letting go to allow Whitney to become a mother to their daughter felt very realistic. He was overly protective & suspicious, but I understood his feelings.
As much as did enjoy this enermies to lovers story, I do have a few critiques of it:
Why did we not have more around Whitney's discussion with her parents/Family about her new status as a parent.
Considering the reason Whitney froze her eggs was partly due to her endometriosis I think it would have been good to have more of an insight into this condition that is so frequently ignored.
I needed more dialogue between Whitney & Myles, especially in regards to the changes surrounding their co-parenting. The amount of knocking boots they were doing sometimes made me feel like they had lost the plot. It also at times detracted from their growing relationship & connection.
These points may make it seem like I didn’t enjoy the book, but they are merely critical observations that I made while reading.
If you are after a spicy fictional romance story for the summer, I don’t think that this one will disappoint you!
