FROM MIDWIFE TO MOTHER-TO-BE…

One night of heart-stealing passion left Milla Johnson wanting much more from Dr. Kyle Bingham. But settling down wasn't in the gorgeous resident's game plan. And the practical-minded midwife had her own future to think of…now that a baby was on the way. Kyle's baby.

Growing up on the black-sheep side of the town's most prominent clan left Kyle feeling out in the cold when it came to family. Until Milla. She had him yearning to shed his solitary ways—even after she'd told him they were expecting! Could imminent fatherhood—and love—make a family man out of Merlyn County's most marriage-shy bachelor?

More About the Author

Judy Duarte always knew there was a book inside her, but since English was her least favorite subject in school, she never considered herself a writer. An avid reader who enjoys a happy ending, Judy couldn't shake the dream of creating a book of her own.

That dream became a reality in 2002, when Silhouette released her first Special Edition. Since then, more than thirty of her books have hit the shelves, including three women's fiction novels and two novellas.

Her stories have touched the hearts of readers around the world, landing her a prestigious Reader's Choice Award. In 2009, she won the Maggie and finaled in the Inspirational category of the Rita® with MULBERRY PARK. And in 2010, ENTERTAINING ANGELS finaled in the Rita®, won the Maggie, and placed second in the Inspirational Readers Choice.

When she's not cooped up in her writing cave, Judy spends time with her somewhat enormous, but delightfully close family near the beach in Southern California.

This review is from: Bluegrass Baby: Merlyn County Midwives (Silhouette Special Edition No. 1598) (Mass Market Paperback)

Milla Johnson had enough to worry about in her life - she had her bitter mother, her orphaned cousin, and her fledgling career as a midwife about to be rocked by an unjust lawsuit. So when the opportunity for romance with Dr. Kyle Bingham, the most handsome available doctor at the hospital, presented itself, Milla wasn't exactly looking for a steady relationship. If Kyle was anything like his famous playboy daddy, Milla wouldn't need to worry about commitment, anyway. After one romantic night together, Milla was determined to push him away - until she discovered that she was pregnant with Kyle's baby.

Dr. Kyle Bingham knew what it was like to grow up without a father - his own father had always financially supported him, but had never shown a personal interest in his life. Now that Kyle's all grown up, he's following in his father's steps when the ladies are concerned. That is until he meets Milla. There's just something different about Milla, and he wants to get closer to her, except she kept pushing him away. Kyle knew that Milla deserved a faithful husband and a dedicated father to their child - but could Kyle be that man?

For those who like medical romance, this is a great book to read, since a lot of it takes place in Merlyn County Hospital. It's also great if you like books where the hero and heroine come from two different social spheres. I enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting. Milla's character is great - I love how she is so dedicated to caring for the baby she's going to have, and also the way she tries to be her orphaned cousin's mother-figure. Dylan, her cousin, is completely adorable and loveable. I didn't care for Kyle's character too much, since he spent most of the book trying to justify his womanizing ways, but he redeemed himself in my eyes eventually! There's also plenty room for sequels, so that's something I like. This one's a keeper.
