The Bachelor's Baby has trope plot of road side rescue leading to insta-lust to a fling, then surprise pregnancy, but the author managed a good polish to an enjoyable story.

Meg was only in town to help her brother move in his new stepdaughter by cleaning out her childhood room. She did not count on meeting the sexy bad boy billionaire Linc Brady... After getting stuck in the snow. Linc Brady was just visiting, and he is generous to donate money and time toward a child needing treatment, but getting stuck with a bachelor auction with him as a prize? And the one bidding on him is Meg? He'll bid on himself! But Linc is smitten with Meg, as he wants someone who's not too country, and Meg is perfect. But Linc wants at least one night... And Meg, knowing she'd leave, gave it to him... But then... she found she's pregnant... so she's back in town to see what Linc would do.

Basically it's "surprise baby" (aka "oops, I'm pregnant") which lead to a bit of "OMG are you sure" or even "that can't be mine" which obviously lead to a bit of bitterness, and eventually someone gave in after feeling stupid. The trick here is the author managed to put a very good spin on the trope plot to make it fun.

A story about two people who knew each other years earlier and reconnect. Eve was once a waitress at a posh yacht club and Luca was a rich playboy. Now years later she works on a local news station and he owns a bank. They reconnect and an affair commences. She finds out she is pregnant. Now I won't tell you the whole story here. This is just the begining. Love reading Sharon Kendrick's books.

Review originally posted at Romancing the Book

This was a cute book with an unusual twist - two 50-something adults meet who come from totally different backgrounds  one country and the other from the big city of LA (a little bit rock and roll  tongue in cheek), fall in love although they're no spring chickens. There was a lot of emotion packed in but immediate chemistry between Bram and Lynne. They fought it all they could, finally gave in and then went along for the sweet ride. Watching them out of their comfort zone was fun to watch especially knowing they were each trying their best to make sense of what was going on. It was a hoot to see the give and take from both of them and how they each came to the realization that it was what they both wanted and then what they needed to do to cement the relationship. There was laughter, tears, awkwardness, angst, fear, family and friends along with lots of small town busybodies. Heartsfield Arkansas seemed the perfect backdrop for the storyline along with all the animal life. The descriptions of the small town, both people and places, made you feel you were there.

Ive read books by this author before and enjoyed them. I look forward to reading others by her.

Favorite Quote: I look like crap When did i get so old? Maybe Im too old for this. Shes older than I am, and she looks a helluva lot better. He tore his gaze from the mirror and focused on the toes of his battered boots instead.

She's reuniting with a long lost love, and now she could be pregnant!

Story idea is fun, slightly stunted reading though, could have used a little more editing. It's my first Harlequin Presents, I'll probably be reading more...

This story centers around what was supposed to be a meaningless encounter in Las Vegas. It turns out to be life changing.

Sam Flanagan is a very successful attorney with two partners. Five years ago he quit his lucrative position in a law firm to open his own. Taking some time off, he heads to Vegas for a break. He meets a beautiful sexy woman named Camilla and for two weeks they are inseparable, Camilla is swept off her feet, but Sam walks out on her. Now suddenly, she is at his office requesting to see him?  He's sure it's a scam.

One week after her encounter with Sam, she married Daniel Winthrop. Daniel was paralyzed after a car accident  and lived his life in a wheelchair. He had contacted her offering help with hospital bills etc. after a car crash killed her parents and severely injured her sister Olivia. She had to marry him for his help. It was a marriage of convenience, but Camilla and Olivia grew to love him. Very soon in her marriage she was shocked to realize she was pregnant. There was no doubt it was Sam's, and several attempts to contact him failed. Her son JD was born and Danny loved him like his own.  After Danny's sudden death, his parents made Camilla the target for their anger. Even threatening a custody battle.

Sam from the start was angry, arrogant and seemingly heartless, except when it came to JD. He loved that little boy instantly. He agreed to marry Camilla for his sake, but couldn't bring himself to forgive her. Camilla is proud and strong, hating to have to beg for help, but she would do anything for her son and sister.
This was an interesting novel. Sam was working behind Camilla's back to insure his place in JD's life no matter what happened, but gradually realizes he has loved Camilla from their first encounter. Too late Sam realizes his subterfuge could push her away forever.  Emotions run high in this novel, and after a rough start I warmed up to Sam.  Wonderful characters and an enjoyable read.

I received this ARC from Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for an honest review.

This is Ms. Morris' debut with Silhouette Romance. It's a lovely story about a young woman who realizes that she isn't the type to settle when it comes to a husband; he has to be a soul mate. She also realizes her biological clock is ticking and she doesn't want to miss out on motherhood while her Mr. Right takes his time in showing up. She shares her desire with an elderly woman she's become close to, confiding that she's set in motion to use the sperm bank. This prompts her friend to encourage her to seek her son to be her sperm donor. This sets off some hilarious moments, and sparks do fly. Jake and Cassie make a great couple. I was surprised at the sensuality level in this story. While Jake and Cassie don't do the deed, they do have some very heated love scenes. I enjoyed this story very much and look forward to pulling out some more books by Ms. Morris from my TBR.

From the back cover...

When Cassandra met Jake...

She knew he was trouble. Her solo baby-making plans just couldn't include the carefree bachelor. Besides, Jake had way too much sizzle for a daddy candidate. So why couldn't she stop daydreaming about babies who had Jake's big blue eyes?

When Jake met Cassandra...

He knew his mother's matchmaking schemes were getting dangerous. Her pretty tenant was just the sort of female to make a man hear wedding bells, or even the squeaky wheels of a baby carriage. And though Jake wanted no part of either, he couldn't help wanting Cassandra ....

Thoughtful and romantic, two unlikely individuals quickly fall for each other and become an old married couple within a couple of chapters.  Surprising events rapidly take place, including a kidnapping, but the book ended right at the exciting part.  Will have to read the next book in the series to find out what happens with the mysterious poem and if they locate the treasure...

This book started out with a young woman having an affair with the governor of NY. As the story moved along, they developed a strong relationship and descriptions of their physical romance became somewhat steamy. There is a surprise that isn't anticipated which is handled and, of course, there's a happy ending.

A really unusual beginning for a story in this day and age, but surprisingly interesting.  Both Isaac and Adeline signed up for a chance to be matched with their perfect person.  They met at their wedding.  Some awkwardness for them in the beginning, but they over came that shortly and started to fall in love.  Isaac had told a big lie in the beginning tho and didn't want Adeline to know he was a billionaire as he wanted to make sure he was loved for himself and not his bank account.  It hits the fan when she finds out about the lies.  It takes a while but they get their happy ever after.

Two people have fallen in love. Not to each other. They wake up just in time to realize they are making a big mistake. Then, they tell their respective families to but out. Loved this story from the beginning to the end, which had a couple of surprises! Isabelle, what I wouldn't do to have a friend like her, special.

Tony and Beth meet in book one of this series and sparks were evident from the first. Now, Beth is 7 months pregnant and the father has signed away his parental rights and Ray is still trying to figure out how to survive his divorce and the economy that has his store dying a slow and painful death. With the arrival of a thunderstorm, Tony and Beth end up spending time together. What follows is a love story of friends to lovers. Even though they both tried to not fall, it was inevitable.

I really enjoyed this book much more than the first book in the series.

For this to be this Author first book, she did a great job putting this story together.  I loved the relationship between Raquel and her girlfriends; the interaction was funny and loving.  Her relationship with Michael was just beautiful and loving.  Like all relationships they had their ups and downs, but in the end they got it together and knew their hearts were meant for each other.  This a story worth reading.

I always enjoy reading about "what happens after" the HEA. So thanks to Ms Vane's friend here on Goodreads for the suggestion.

It's Diana's 9th month of pregnancy and it's been 8 days since she and Ludovic last made love. Due to coincidences, she began to doubt her husband after accidentally reading a missive from Salime. It's because of doctor's orders that Ludovic abstained from making love with his wife. When it comes to pregnant woman, hormones are on high and one cannot blame how one perceives things.

This short story provides a gateway, the perfect in-between novel to the author's next novel "Jewel of the East". New characters surface and I can't help but be curious and eager to read about the next. The love scene was written so well it isn't about satisfying carnal cravings, but establishing solid trust between them, it is the only love scene but it was really significant.
