Review:

Anne McAllister’s latest novel for Harlequin Presents, One-Night Love Child is absolutely fantastic! Smart, sexy, funny and feel-good, One-Night Love Child is the kind of romance readers will devour in a single sitting!

Flynn and Sara had shared one night of unforgettable passion six years ago. However, when Flynn had left Sara, little did he know that he had left her pregnant with his love-child! When baby Liam was born, Sara sent Flynn a letter informing him of the birth of his son, but when she did not get a reply, Sara decided that she was going to raise Liam as a single mother, and try her best to forget Flynn.

Flynn had never quite managed to forget Sara, so when six years later, the letter she sent him finally reaches him, he decides to jump on a plane and go to Montana to get to know his son - and to convince the only woman he has ever loved, that she's the only one for him!

You can always rely on Anne McAllister to deliver a page-turning romance that will tug at your heartstrings, make you laugh out loud and leave you breathless – and One-Night Love Child is no exception! In One-Night Love Child, Anne McAllister combines lovely characters, steamy passion, hilarious moments and captivating romance and once again proves that when it comes to writing unforgettable romances, she is head and shoulders above most of the competition!

The Bride's Baby - Liz Fielding

Title: The Bride's Baby

Author: Liz Fielding

Line: Romance

Release month: April 2008

The S-Factor: Sweet

Back-Blurb:

The wedding of the season!

Event’s manager Sylvie Smith is organising a glittering fundraising event: a wedding show in a stately home. She has even been roped into pretending to be a bride – a bride who’s five months pregnant...

The bride everyone is talking about!

It should be every girl’s dream, designing a wedding with no expense spared, but not for Sylvie. Longbourne Court was her ancestral home, and she’s just discovered that the new owner is Tom MacFarlane: her baby’s secret father. Now Tom’s standing in front of her, looking at her bump...

A Bride for All Seasons

A spring wedding is in the air!

Review:

The Bride’s Baby is the first in a new Harlequin Mills & Boon Romance miniseries, and Liz Fielding kicks it off with her usual tug-at-the-heart emotional pull that is her signature of a fulfilling Romance read.

Sylvie Smith attempts to negotiate payment with a jilted groom – billionaire Tom MacFarlane and finds herself with more than she bargained for!

This is another dazzling story from the pen of Liz Fielding. Sylvie is a tough, no-nonsense heroine, and Tom is a gorgeous hero to fall in love with – and fall I did!

As well as enjoying the heartfelt emotion, I loved the humour in Sylvie’s “Oh, confetti” moments! As always, Liz Fielding has woven pure magic and by the end of the book she has her readers breathing a sigh or relief and contentment. Another for the keeper shelf!
