Mr. Insatiable by Serenity Woods
2.0

Aside from the fact that I just thought this book drug on a bit, and it was only a novella, I had some issues with the characters.

For the most part, I liked Enya. Kit was okay until the end. When he finds out that Enya can’t have kids and his first instinct is that she basically used him (even though they both agreed to a sex only relationship) knowing that they couldn’t be together because he wanted biological children, and she couldn’t give him that.

I HATED that this was what the author used for the drama to split up the couple. It made me dislike Kit. He was adopted, and raised by supportive, loving parents. It made no sense as to why he would be so adamantly opposed to adoption. And, his dad interfering and warning Enya against being with Kit? He was awful. It was as if he was telling her she wasn’t good enough for his son because she was raped and left unable to have kids. Enya is already dealing with feelings of being inferior, and Kit’s dad just piles it on.
At this point, I wished Enya could have met a new man or woman and fallen for them. She deserved better than Kit and his asshole dad.

As for the ending, I really would have rather seen Kit and Enya come to terms with her infertility together. Instead, Kit decides he loves her and doesn’t need biological children (that part is good), but it all works out for him anyway because Enya finds out that she is pregnant. It turns out the doctors only said it was highly unlikely she would get pregnant, not impossible. (Not that this ending was shocking. It was incredibly predictable. I just wish it had gone the other way)
