Review: "Milked" by Lisa Doyle


Note: This ebook was provided by BookBuzz.net via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Amanda Keane's life changed forever after her thirtieth birthday. Gone was her well-paying job, someone breaks into her apartment, and she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant but the Irish father of her child-to-be cuts of all contact with her soon after she tells him. Her family and friends try to provide her with the support she needs but being abandoned by a man she believed in and having no income to speak of isn't exactly simple things that she can get over in a day or two.

After giving birth to her daughter, Amanda finds herself still jobless, but her best friend may have come up with a solution to her financial problem. She gets a job as a private wet nurse, thanks to the fact that she's still lactating, and is paid well for her efforts. She even meets a single father who she's attracted to and they begin to see each other. But with her inability to stay in a family for very long and the return of her daughter's father, will Amanda be able to get her life together?

Milked by Lisa Doyle was a fairly enjoyable women's fiction read. Amanda Keane is a female lead character struggling to provide for both herself and her young daughter. While being a wet nurse may appear to be something from the olden days, there are actually very affluent couples who still employ one when necessary. Amanda balks at her best friend's suggestion at first but she's so desperate for cash that she agrees. Unfortunately, each family she's with has definite issues.

The story in itself was interesting and quite original, something I had never come across before. Amanda was okay as a heroine but I had a difficult time drumming up any real affection for her. I also felt that there were some moments that were drawn out too long that I actually ended up skimming a number of times. Still, I liked the idea that the focus was really on Amanda's journey of independence and not just on her love story with Dan. I'm giving this three out of five stars. ♥
