CLICK TO PURCHASE! Sabine Ferruci’s CHLOE’S DONOR is an unusual romance involving deception, difficult decisions and a whole host of odd conditions that nonetheless touches the heart and speaks of love.

Chloe Simon simply wanted to have a baby. But with no father in her foreseeable future, she decides to use an anonymous donor. Unfortunately for Chloe, the sperm she gets isn’t the sperm of the patron of the arts that she had requested. In fact, it came from a special operations soldier who only banked his sperm in case one of his dangerous missions went bad. Now that they have both been informed about the mix up, Dev Gallagher wants a say in his child’s life. Toward that end, he is willing (perhaps one might even say determined) to marry the baby’s mother.

Sabine Ferruci has a very pleasant writing style. CHLOE’S DONOR was a real sweet story. Both Chloe and Dev were so easy to like and the storyline seemed like it just maybe could have happened. And if it did happen, then what? So, yes, the storyline was just far enough out there that it made the “what next” both amusing and awkward and even somewhat hard to believe and somehow, all of that made for one really enjoyable story.

But it wasn’t just the two main characters that made this story so incredibly fun, it was the lesser characters, Chloe’s gay brother and Dev’s best friend, working on the sidelines of the story that really brought the whole thing together so perfectly. Of course, a real life mix up of this sort would undoubtedly not end up with such a happy ending, but this is fiction and overall, the story really was very sweet and fun. All in all, a nice lazy summer afternoon read.
