Middle of the road Lynne Graham. Kind of different in that the child involved is her sister's but using the heroine's donated eggs. The hero is not the father but is a cousin. He is however the child's legal guardian and so has the child to hold over the heroine's head to get her to be his mistress. The emotions here seemed to ramp up and fizzle out and the heroine while not really a total doormat sure leaned that way. I don't mind if you're going to turn into a puddle of goo if the hero touches you but don't embarrass yourself by declaring every other page that you hate him and don't want to sleep with him if you know you're going to give in. The hero is pretty much an ass but not to the asshat level. ( )
