My Teaser Tuesday today is from Plan on It by Kathy Dunnehoff. The protagonist is biology professor Hattie McLean, whose doctor tells her she is beginning peri-menopause--and she's only 34 years old! So she starts a search for the perfect man to father her child before she runs out of time (and eggs). Hattie is speaking in the first sentence.
"There's some evidence that women are attracted to the body odor of men who resemble, genetically, the woman's father because it helps us avoid someone too genetically different, which wouldn't be an optimal match either."
Rose seemed to really consider that. She just may be coming around. "Kind of like love at first smell?"
I really enjoyed this book. Some parts of it are laugh-out-loud funny. Here's the synopsis from Amazon:
Six men in six months. It's a logical plan to Professor Hattie McLean. Date 6 men in 6 months and one will be the clear choice to father her child. But biology involves the heart as well... even if she didn't plan on it!
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading.

Interesting teaser, I never heard of that before! Glad to hear you enjoyed that novel, sounds like a fun book! Thanks for dropping by my blog earlier =)
ReplyDeleteThat is quite the idea! My teaser comes from a Patrick McManus book.
ReplyDeleteOoops! I forgot to give the location of the Teaser on my Kindle. It's at Location 454.
DeleteI love when authors take a familiar saying ("love at first sight") and twist it into something new ("love at first smell")
That's a new thought(: Wow, our teasers are quite similar (both are about women anyway). Thanks for pointing out the typo in mine!
ReplyDeleteOur teasers are quite similar, aren't they? I enjoy this group because I'm always finding new books and authors to enjoy.
DeleteIt sounds like a pretty interesting read. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Fictitious Musings. :)
That's slightly disturbing but an intriguing theory! Thanks for posting on Read@UTS!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Great teaser. Mine is below. http://lostinsidethecovers.wordpress.com/2012/03/20/teaser-tuesdays-the-painted-boy/
ReplyDeleteI'm glad someone else thought it was funny! I sure did. In fact, the whole book was funny.
DeleteSounds like a promising read! My post: Remains of the Dead by Wendy Roberts.
ReplyDeleteHuh... I thought it maybe happening to me at one point thankfully it wasn't but MAN ... I do know things are different since having the oven removed!
ReplyDeleteMine is an odd ball book, from the 70's heh... I have a ManBeast that is sick and so I have had some lovely comfort reads to keep me sane.. it is ether that or it is whiskey haha HERE IS MINE
Whatever works for you!
DeleteLove that teaser! I so need to check this one out - it sounds great! Thank you for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's mine:

ReplyDeleteHere's MY TUESDAY MEMES POST
I had to snicker when I read that! Great pick! :-)
ReplyDeleteKayla @ Bibliophilia, Please
(You've already visited my TT.)
I'm so glad you share my sense of humor.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI love funny romance books!! I enjoy all types of romance books but I have never heard of this author before. Great teaser. I will have to add it to my TBR.
I am new to blogging and this was only the second time for my teaser. Take a look at mine and see what you think.
Mariann with Belle's Book Bag
She also wrote "The Do-Over" and that one was funny too.
DeleteThat is too funny!!! Sounds like it's a cute read.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting read.

I love books that make you laugh. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I think humor in a story--even a serious story--helps break up the tension and gives the reader a rest. Besides, it's just plain fun!
DeleteAHHH, that's kind of creepy to me but I have heard that before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TT and happy first day of spring!
I know what you mean. But the sense of smell is powerful--probably in ways we aren't even aware of!
DeleteEek, kind of scary! But interesting :)
ReplyDeleteOne thing about "love at first smell", you have to get a bit closer for it to hit.
ReplyDeleteInteresting teaser.
I'm laughing at your comment. If you can smell the person without getting very close... well, you probably don't want to get any closer, do you?
Deletehahaha love at first smell is interesting. although accurately true... I love it when men smell good. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by!
Me too. Yum.
DeleteSounds like she has plan. New follower.
ReplyDeleteShe has a very logical plan, but it doesn't quite work out as she expected... and that's what makes the book good!
DeleteGreat teaser and very interesting. Personally, I love her logical plan, even if it doesn't work out the way she expected.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TT.
Wow, that's an interesting one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Books, Biscuits, and Tea! Have a lovely week :)
sounds like a cute, interesting read. I like that teaser too, smell out the right man... not the WORST strategy I have ever heard... thanks for stopping by my TT! Book Savvy Babe
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that strategy will work for her? This sounds like a fun read.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun read. The writing was original, as was the plot.
Deletehaha that's something to consider!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog :)
Definitely interesting teaser! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and thanks for stopping by! :)
Monaliz @ Mind Reading?
Lol....
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by
Krazyyme @ Young Readers
This sounds like a really interesting and fun read for sure! Thanks so much for stopping by my TT :D
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! Thanks for stopping by my TT post.
ReplyDeleteLove at first smell! Wouldn't that change things a lot if everyone believed that! I think that deodorant companies would probably either find that their revenues dropped dramatically OR rose higher than ever with older style smells coming back into fashion haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog :)
