Product Description:
Genius physics professor Dr. Jane Darlington desperately wants a baby. but finding a father won't be easy. Jane's super-intelligence made her feel like a freak when she was growing up, and she's determined to spare her own child that suffering. Which means she must find someone very special to father her child. Someone very ... well ... *stupid*.
Cal Bonner, the Chicago Stars' legendary quarterback, seems like the perfect choice. But his champion good looks and down-home ways are deceiving. Dr. Jane learns too late that this good ol' boy is a lot smarter than he lets on---and he's not about to be used and abandoned by a brainy, baby-mad schemer.
All of Susan Elizabeth Phillips's novels are available from PerfectBound, including the Chicago Stars trilogy: It Had to Be You (1994); Nobody's Baby but Mine (1997); and This Heart of Mine (2002).

Physics professor Dr. Jane Darlington spends her 34th birthday in tears. She wants a baby,but not a husband. Where can she find an average or, preferably, stupid man? She decides that Cal Bonner, legendary quarterback for the Chicago Stars is perfect. Jane sets her plan into action and after some trail and error she succeeds. But the results are more than she bargained for when Cal discovers her duplicity. How can a football player with an interfering family and a nerdy professor who has never known family love ever fall in love? With lots of honesty, understanding and a whole lot of humor. Don't miss this one! It's filled with engaging characters, laughs galore and a feel-good ending. If you enjoy it as much as I did, try Phillips's Heaven, Texas.

I am sorry, I know a lot of hard work must go into writing a novel. I bought his book on recommendations on the internet. I had to put the book down one third of the way through. I didnt even bother to skip to the end. There was nothing I liked about either character. There was no depth to the story. Sorry SEP

This story had you from the get go and developed into a really fun tale. The 'fight' scenes between Cal and Jane were a riot. A very enjoyable read.

Predictable, but entertaining light reading. Our book club enjoyed it, and shared some laughs over it.

After reading and falling head over heels in love with Heaven, Texas I could not wait to read it's sequel. THIS BOOK IS HORRIBLE. The plot could have been a very sweet love story. BUT INSTEAD it was boring unbelievable and annoying. I hated Jane. and Her ramblings about being a freak and her child being a freak were stupid. I grew tired of her weird hang ups Not wanting t be naked and CAN WE DISCUSS the fact that it is hardly ever mentioned she is pregnant? Nor does she behave as though she is. Several times I actually forgot she was! SKIP THIS ONE!!! I didnt even finish it!

This was my very first book from SEP and though I've read others from her since, I believe it's her best. Cal Bonner is a quarterback who's coming close to the end of his career, despite what he wants to think! He is also a university graduate, but Jane Darlington doesn't know that. Instead she thinks him completely damp and proceeds to seducing him posing as a stripper in order to ger pregnant, since she thinks that her baby will get the average of their two IQs and thus be less intelligent than she ever was and happier too. Ok, not the most realistic of stories, after all such a brilliant physicist probably should have read an article or two on biology and find out that this is not the way IQ or nature work, but anyway... This unlikely begining makes up for the funniest, most passionate and heart warming novel I read lately. Cal is a hero to die for and Jane's not so perfect appearence that appeals to my also less than perfect self, make for a wonderful and so well matched couple. SEP's writing is fast paced (no dull moments here!), humorous (the scene were Jane appears on the stairs naked when Cal's brother is in the house is hilarious) but also tender and loving. I absolutely loved this, as well as loved Heaven Texas, its sequel. If you're looking for something light for the beach, or for something to blow you off your feet and away from reality look no further; Satisfaction is guaranteed here.
