Keeping Her Baby's Secret - Raye Morgan (HR #4117 - Sept 2009)

Series: Baby on Board 

"You can count on me. You don't have to be alone."

Diana Collins can't believe she's hearing these words from her former secret crush, Cameron Van Kirk. Popular, gorgeous and from the richest family in town, he was always out of her league.


Now Cameron's back after ten years, and he's telling Diana -- who is pregnant and alone -- that he wants to help her.


His duty is to his family dynasty. Hers is to her baby, whose secret she's keeping. What's Diana to do?
 


Good book.  I liked Diana.  She had built a good life for herself after a pretty bad childhood.  She now had a successful business and a baby on the way.  Then, after ten years, Cam came back to town.  He had come to try to rescue his family from their financial disaster.  He also realized that he had never forgotten Diana, and was incredibly attracted to the woman she had become.  I liked the fact that he kept telling his family that they were wasting their time trying to get him to marry for money.  I have to say that I didn't like his family much.  His sister was a bit of a bitch, though she got a bit better by the end.  His mother was unwilling to face reality, and kept trying to push various women on him.  His grandfather was stuck in the past, though he did redeem himself at the end.  Diana had issues with believing in her own worth.  She refused to believe that she was good enugh for Cam, and kept pushing him away.  I wanted to smack her and tell her to join the 21st century. I liked the way things worked out for them.

Their Miracle Twins - Nikki Logan (HR #4294 - Feb 2012)

Series: Baby on Board 

Love...

Belinda Rochester has fought to be a surrogate mother to her late sister's embryos. But, just as success seems certain, in bursts a tall Australian cowboy, gray eyes shadowed with emotion -- he, too, has a claim on this precious life!


Marriage...?


This baby offers Flynn his only hope of redemption, and he'll do anything to win custody...even propose marriage!


It's an extreme solution, and yet Belinda must admit her convenient husband-to-be is inconveniently gorgeous. But then comes not one but...


Two babies in the baby carriage!


Emotional book.  Belinda desperately wants to be the one to carry her late sister's embryos.  They are all that she has left of her sister.  Just when that is about to happen, Flynn arrives to stop it from happening.  He thinks that Belinda is just like her sister, who he saw as a snotty rich woman who kept his brother away from his family.  He doesn't trust her not to take the baby and disappear, so he forces her to marry him and return to Australia with him while the courts decide who will have custody.  But when they get to Australia, he begins to see her in a different light, as she fits in to his life.  But they have lied to his family about who she really is, which doesn't bode well for any future they might want to have.  Flynn must reconcile her identity with the loss of his relationship with his brother.  Belinda has to be able to convince Flynn that she loves him, not just for the babies.  The last few chapters were incredibly emotional.
