Synopsis: Bella Browning is a very successful business woman who is always in control and knows what she wants. She's married to her reporter husband, Don, and is surprised when she suddenly feels the need to have a baby. When she tells Don that she's pregnant he feels terrified at the prospect. Bella feels she's up to the challenge. She a top Management Consultant .... certainly she can handle a little baby!

Fairly quickly Bella sees how pregnancy, hormones, a new baby and a new body can truly change her life. With many stumbles along the way she finds out (the hard way) how trying to be the perfect working sexy mom is a very hard job.

My Thoughts: This was one of those books that I picked up at my local library because I liked the front cover. I was nicely surprised to find out that I enjoyed this book. It had an honesty about it -- I liked the way it dealt with the stress of pregnancy, the stress of labour (brought back some memories for me lol) as well as the struggles of being a first time mom trying to do everything 'just right'. I plan to read another book by this author.

My Rating: 3.5/5 (aka a good read)
