Out On a Limb

Audiobook

Winnifred "Win" McNulty has always been wildly independent. Not one to be coddled for her limb difference, Win has spent most of her life trying to prove that she can do it all on her own. And, with some minor adjustments, she's done just fine.
That is until she has a one-night stand with the incredibly charming Bo, a perfect stranger. And that one night changes everything.
While Bo is surprisingly elated to step up to the plate, Win finds herself unsure of whether she can handle this new challenge on her own or if she'll need a helping hand.
Together, Win and Bo decide to get to know one another as friends and nothing more. But, as they both should know by now, life rarely goes according to plan.

      Bonam-Young (Next of Kin) puts an endearing spin on the accidental pregnancy trope. Six weeks after a one-night stand, 28-year-old Winnifred “Win” McNulty discovers she’s pregnant. Though Bo was a steamy date with a wicked sense of humor to match her own, Win is hesitant to depend on any man after a past traumatic relationsip. But when she tells him about the pregnancy, he’s eager to help. Will Bo’s kindness, attentiveness, and support for Win and their child change her mind about dating and lead to a more permanent arrangement with her handsome baby daddy? Bonam-Young’s pun-based title refers to spunky Win’s limb difference (her right hand is less developed than her left), which is modeled after the author’s, and gallant Bo’s prosthetic leg, both of which are handled with sensitivity and grace. There’s not much conflict to be had here, as both Win and Bo face down life’s challenges with resilience and positivity. Despite some heavy-handed interior monologues from Win, tenderness, humor, and erotic moments keep things entertaining and make it easy to root for the central couple. This feel-good story will resonate with romantics who don’t take themselves too seriously. Agent: Jessica Alvarez, BookEnds Literary.
