In exchange for a promotion, Katherine Murphy must find a suitable man for her difficult boss and enlisting the help of her best friend Luc to accomplish this difficult task, and, in the process, finds her own Mr. Right.
I just happen to pick this up from a used book store....... i confess, i liked the cover. This book was a wonderful surprise! It was so cute! Katherine is working her way up the corporate ladder. She's given a project to find her psychotic boss a sperm donor, with a promise that if she succeeds she'll become vp at work. Katherine enlists her best friend Luc to help her find sperm candidates and what happens afterwards is hilarious and sweet. Katherine rambles off random and odd facts whenever she gets nervous (which is often) and she will keep you laughing throughout the whole book! This book is hilarious! I loved everything about it...... great characters you can feel for, fall in love with, and laugh at. I read it in one day because it was hard to put down. I'm going to recommend it to all my friends!

I could NOT put this book down and am paying for it today for staying up late into the night to finish it. It was fresh and funny and touching and endearing. I did get frustrated when Kat and Luc didn't communicate how they felt, but instead Luc seemingly gave up on her and Kat let him. Given they were best friends for so many years, I think she would have given more priority to the relationship over her career problem and Luc would have talked to her rather than jumping into a relationship with her boss. But it was very heartbreaking to read about their dissolution. Luc's hurt jumped off the pages and though Kat came off as cold and unfeeling at times, her hurt was also clearly there. Also, given their longtime relationship, Luc would have known Kat well enough to know her lack of self-confidence or cluelessness in a man/woman relationship and understand her reasons for her strong drive to succeed in her career and therefore he should have been able to be up front with her about his feelings. But then it wouldn't have been as emotional as it was and I loved this book. It's one of those where I can't get it out of my mind after finishing it. I highly recommend it!

Katherine Murphy's new work assignment: Find a donor with the perfect genes so her boss, Lydia Ashworth, can have a baby. The reward: Promotion to VP of Research. After a lifetime being uprooted by her alcholic father, this promotion means Kat can finally have stability and purchase a home of her own. Successful sperm is the only option. With Kat's challenged social skills, asking hot men about their genetic make-up doesn't produce a willing applicant. So Kat enlists help from her popular best friend, Luc. Together, they comb the City in search of the proper genes. Completing her assignment is easier with Luc's help, and somewhere along the sperm search, Kat finds their friendship taking a new turn... Quirky, fun, and surprisingly touching...Kate Perry's debut is a definite keeper.
