Review: In the opening of A Daring Proposition we are introduced to Samantha who is the secretary of Guy, an extraordinarily handsome and sexy CEO who she has secret feelings for, but he always dates women who are the completely opposite of her. After five years of being hopelessly in love with a man who will never notice her Sam decides to quit her job and move back home.
However, soon after Guy’s father has a heart attack and he realises that if his father dies he has no other blood relative and decides he wants a child, but he doesn’t want to hassle of marriage. So, he tasks Sam with the job of finding a woman who will have his baby but not demand anything else apart from money and she herself decides to take him up on the offer as it might be the only way she can be with him.
Despite trying Guy soon breaks off the arrangement after he begins to develop feelings for Sam and this breaks her heart and she makes plans to move back home and even finds some comfort with a childhood friend Norman. However, Guy lets his jealousy get the best of him and tries to convince her to stay when she faints. It turns out that the one time they were together was enough for Sam to become pregnant with his child and so they decide to try a relationship.
In the end they find out that Guy’s father is going to be marrying Sam’s aunt and Guy realises the reason he dates a lot of women is because he is scared of falling in love and commitment, but he finds that he isn’t worried about these thing with Sam. In the end she finally confesses she loves him, and they decide to get married as well. While I liked the art style of this manga, the characters and the story line was very generic, but it is a guilty pleasure read for me.
