Loved it!, July 6, 2009
This book was one of the best Harlequin novels I've read in a long time. I've read a lot Harlequins in my lifetime and I am hard pressed to remember liking two characters as much as I liked the hero and heroine in this book. I have never bothered to write a review before but I just had to let people know about this gem. If you are looking for a well written romance with a hero that you will adore, then this is the book for you. The hero is strong, sexy and loyal. He's also totally into the heroine. The heroine is witty and spunky and you won't be able to help but root for her. This is the kind of book that will send you searching through the archives checking out previous releases by the author. While I have read plenty of books by this author and liked alot them, I can't recall a novel where she ever gotten things soooo right.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great premise, but just fell short of the mark, July 19, 2009
When I read the blurb for The Brunelli Baby Bargain by Kim Lawrence, I was really excited because it sounded interesting. But it just fell short of the mark when I read the actual story. I was disappointed too because it didn't feel like a K. Lawrence book to me. I usually enjoy her books more.
Cesare Brunelli has been blinded in an accident saving a little girl's life (not too much is mentioned about this in the story). He goes to Scotland to get away from things and ends up having a one-night stand with a virgin, the heroine. He thinks that she is the cleaning lady. Samantha immediately leaves the next morning embarrassed about the whole situation.
Samantha is now pregnant so she tracks Cesare down to let him know. His reaction is a marriage demand. Samantha doesn't want to marry Cesare just because she is pregnant. Plus, she has some self-esteem issues about the way she looks (very redundant).(spoiler) When they do marry, surprise, surprise, Cesare gets his sight back, but doesn't tell her until after they are married. Now, Samantha is scared that Cesare will trade her for his ex-fiance. Too much banter/bickering between hero and heroine, and the heroine was very wishy-washy.

2.0 out of 5 stars
cheesy, cliche, predictable and too mushy., October 12, 2011
I have been loving this author's last couple of books but this one is not in the same league. I know harlequin Presents are known for their predictability but this book is too much. I was cringing when reading the dialogue between the H and h. It reads like a romance between couple of teenager's. Why Must the Heroine be always pregnant and the Hero's reaction is always marriage. Boring and insulting to women in the time that we are in to just go along with it. The way the h handled the ex was very stupid, what kind of a wife asks for a divorce when some bitter ex says she wants your husband. The ending was too mushy and the epilogue added nothing to the story. Please Harlequin presents authors challenge yourselves and write a decent romance story with something new.
