Dinca’s review of The Would-Be Mommy by Jacqueline Diamond
Contemporary Romance Published by Harlequin American Romance 1 Feb 10
The Would-Be Mommy is the first book in the Safe Harbor Medical series. It’s all about falling in love. First with the adorable baby girl, who is dropped off at the Safe Harbor Medical Center due to a mistake in the news, and then with the reporter, Ian Martin, covering the story.
Jennifer Serra is the PR director for Safe Harbor Medical. She has always wanted a child and she agrees to temporarily take home one of the unwanted babies which flood the Medical Center. She bonds with baby Rosalie quickly. While trying to stay focused on the baby, she finds herself looking at Ian as father material.
Dredging up the past is not a good way to get into the good graces of the lovely Jennifer Serra with the big heart and pain-filled eyes when she talks about babies. But a reporter has to take a story where it leads, no matter how hard or damaging it can be to all involved. I’m surprised how Ian grows as a reporter and into a better person and, thus, has turned into one of my favorite heroes.
Jacqueline Diamond does a wonderful job of combining the past with the present. I look forward to the other stories in the series.
Grade: A
