Calliope:
I believe in love. Or I did until my husband died.
Now, I believe in surviving this world without him.
I have a plan mapped out for the rest of my life, and it doesn’t involve a man. I’ve been down that road, and I’m not willing to risk my heart again.
Not even for the devastatingly handsome and charming Dr. Keegan Russo, who also happens to be one hell of a kisser.
My head has plans, but what happens when my heart can’t say no?
Keegan:
Hot as hell sex with no strings attached. That’s my credo.
It works, too, until she walks into my office.
Calliope. A young widow with totally different priorities than me.
There’s no future for us, but I can’t stay away, either.
For the first time, I want something complicated and messy, and I want it with her.
But that means breaking the promise I made her on the day we met.
Baby Maker is a love after loss/forbidden romance inspired by British Bedmate.

MY REVIEW
Callie has finally come back to the living after 2 years of grieving her husband. Now she wants to have a baby using her husband's DNA so she's referred by her best friend Simon (from British Bedmate) to a fertility specialist nicknamed the Baby Maker. Shd had no idea that instead of giving her a baby, Dr. Keegan would bring her heart back to life, that she'd start to develop feelings she never thought she'd feel again for another soul after her husband passed. Is she really ready for a relationship again, though? Has she grieved enough, made room in her heart for loving another man? Especially one who claims to have no desire for children, family, commitment or love?
This one was a bit heartbreaking to read as Callie fought her way back to life after having grieved Nigel for so long. She goes through what seems to be a very realistic, if emotional, journey that includes a ton of push and pull, and unfortunately, hurts Keegan more than what he could almost bear, in the process. That was really the only part I didn't like, but it seemed like something that would really happen with a partner who isn't really ready for another relationship yet. I loved this story, though, even though Callie irritated me a bit too much for me to be able to give it 5 stars. Other than her, though, everything else was great - angsty, steamy, with a sweet ending.

AUTHOR BIO
M.L. Broome is a bohemian spirit with a New York edge. She writes high-octane contemporary romance with a touch of angst and plenty of steamy goodness. Her characters are bitingly real, earning their happily-ever-after only after some emotional ass-kicking and personal growth.
When M.L. isn't writing or holding one-sided arguments with her characters (spoiler alert—they always win), she loves losing herself in nature on her North Carolina farm, one of her rescue buddies by her side. She adores dressing up and kicking back, a glass of whiskey with an equally stunning view, and experiences that make the soul—and senses—tingle.
