Most Wanted by Lisa Scottoline

Lisa Scottoline delivers another searing, powerful blockbuster novel that explores hot-button issues within the framework of an intricately plotted thriller. When a woman and her husband, desperate for a baby, find themselves unable to conceive, they decide to take further steps. Since it is the husband who is infertile, the heroine decides to use a donor. And all seems to be well. Three months pass and she is happily pregnant. But a shocking revelation occurs when she discovers that a man arrested for a series of brutal murders is her donor - the biological father of the child she is carrying. Delving deeper to uncover the truth, the heroine must face her worst fears, and confront a terrifying truth. Nine Months is sure to be Lisa Scottoline's most discussed, bestselling novel yet.

Review: I was given an ARC of Most Wanted from NetGally for an honest review and this is my review.
This book was one of those books that makes a reader ask themselves what they would do if they were in a certain situation and how they would handle it. What would you do if you found out you may be carrying the baby of a serial killer due to who you picked as a sperm donor? Would you just accept it or would you want to get rid of it?
That's what faces Marcus and Christine when she sees the man who she believes is their anonymous donor getting arrested for murdering three nurses. Marcus wants to know, if in fact, the man is biological father because he is unsure if the child will have violent tendencies of the father and if it will he is not sure if going through with the pregnancy is right. Christine love the child no matter who or what the father is and believes that her baby will be okay.
This leads to all kinds of drama in their marriage, a lawsuit towards the sperm hospital and Christine going in search of finding the answers from Zachary, the man who was arrested herself. I am not going to give spoilers but this book is a discovery of the strength of a woman who wants to be a mother above everything else, the true bond of friendship and building great relationship.
I loved Christine as a character because that woman had spunk and was willing to go for what she wanted. Marcus was so weak I would have kicked his booty to the curb and found someone who could have matched her much better. That is the one thing I will fault this book for. He was way to weak for her and he needed to go far far away.
With that said I am giving Most Wanted four out of five stars.
