I'm sorry I wanted to love it, but it just annoyed me in the end., January 11, 2012
This review is from: The Billionaire's Baby (Harlequin Romance) (Kindle Edition)
Six years ago, eighteen year old Camryn "Cam" Henderson fell in love w/ Blaine Andrews. Three months after they had eloped . . . he walked away from her! Blaine made no explanations for his walking away six years ago and now he wants to resume their marriage. He hopes to explain to Cam why he walked away and that she will understand and they can pick up where they left off. Blaine has so much more to offer her now and he wants that HEA that he believes is waiting for them.
I really wanted to love this second chance at love story but there were too many things that didn't work for me. Honestly, I didn't care too much for his explanation of why he left six years before with no explanations. However, since Cam wasn't too disturbed by it and she was overly "melty" w/ him - I went w/ it.
There was an AWFUL lot going on in the story and not enough time devoted to any one aspect. I needed more things to come about in order to be drawn further into the story and yet they weren't. Things seemed to be glossed over in order to tie up loose ends and that bothered me a lot.
It really irked me that Blaine claimed he doesn't play games and then he proceeds to do just that - while realistic still irksome. It also bothered me that Cam waffled so much w/ forgiving Blaine and finding a new reason to push him out of her life. Yes, the next one is kind of like the shoe is now on his foot, but really it was more or less her being overly dramatic. I did like that for the most part Cam seemed to be spot on w/ her reading of people.
The name of the story implies that her whole other issue is really a non-issue but . . . Cam made it a HUGE issue and in fact claimed she couldn't. Perhaps better consideration should be given when coming up w/ a title for a story.
***SPOILERS***
She says she had PID and the doctors claimed it would be difficult to conceive NOT that she was infertile. But there is no explanation for how she even got pelvic inflammatory disease. What also bothered me was Blaine claiming that he cared for Cam - never mind that he knew nothing about her or her whereabouts for 6 years - he didn't even ask those telling questions about PID!
I also wondered if Blaine had OW in the six years he was gone. Apparently Cam didn't have OM, but he thought it was possible that she would be w/ someone. Blaine tells Cam it had only ever been her. What does that mean? NO ONE ever asked if he had slept w/ anyone else and frankly I think he may have. Heck even Cam has thoughts of him just passing through the city and looking up an ex GF. The conversation w/ his sister makes it sound like there were OW for him, at least that is the impression that I get. On another note: seriously the kid's dad wasn't at the hospital? That is awful! Uncle could have watched the other kids and allowed the child's father to be there!!
***END SPOILERS***
Felt like both characters flip flopped so much. They were either playing games w/ one another or w/ themselves and eventually I really didn't even care. I just wanted to finish the book before I flung it against the wall for its pure frustration factor.

This review is from: The Billionaire's Baby (Harlequin Romance) (Kindle Edition)
he left for six years and expected to come back and pick up where they left off. the heroine left for 3 months and told hero to move on. he did not tell her to move on when he left. he was mad at her for doing the same thing what he did. he would have moved on pretty quickly if the heroine did not contact him. he did not love her. at that point of his life he needed a wife and kids so he went back to his wife

review from: The Virtual Book Case
One thing I am always interested in si a good happily ever after call me a sucker for someone else's love story since mine has not happened. I have not net the guy that turns my mind to mush and makes me do the stupidest things by my parents standards.
But in The Billionaire's Baby Cameryn met that guy at the age of 18. Cam was swept away by Blane to the point that three months later she marries him. That was years ago. Since he left, not long after their unplanned marriage. Now she owns her own cafe and has no room for love, that is until Blane walks back into her life. Now she has to tell him that she can not give him what he wants so they can not be together. Or is she going to let love back into her heart and her one love back itno her life.
This question keeps me thinking about the book "can you give up what you want to let them have their dreams come true?"
