"Excuse Me? Whose Baby?" by Jacqueline Diamond. In Claire De Lune, California attorney Burt Page informs college professor Dex Fenton and billionaire Jim Bonderoff that Dr. Saldivar died in India. Both knew the doctor, but are shocked to learn they are named in the will. Saldivar mixed an egg donated by Dex with sperm donated by Jim and presto a baby Ayoka lives. Neither one seems ready for changing diapers, but soon love between the trio enters the picture, but will that prove enough to keep the adults together?

"Follow That Baby!" by Isabel Sharpe. Paige flees Philadelphia to take her infant Duncan to her friend Melanie Brooks in Birchfield, Wisconsin because she fears someone is trying to hurt her baby. Paige does not even trust her spouse Lou. Her desperate husband wants his wife and son back. Lou turns to his friend private investigator Joe Jantzen to find the missing duo. Joe traces Duncan to Melanie, but even as they fall in love she denies the baby she watches is even a boy. With Duncan between them, will the Packer fan and the Eagle fan begin to form a family?

These two novels are sharp diamonds that will please fans of romantic romps, especially those that relish the antics of infants matchmaking and interfering with adult relationships.

I miss Harlequin's Duets line, it was a good idea having 2 short romantic comedies in 1 book... and The Bachelor Dads of Nowhere Junction was a perfect fit for it.

This one contains Ms. Diamond's 'Designer Genes' and Ms. Maclay's 'Two for One!'--two fun reads!

In "Follow That Baby!" Isabel Sharpe once again delivers an uproariously entertaining story. Her main characters, Melanie and Joe, are well-defined and interesting, their situation deliciously awkward, and their eventual coming together most satisfying. As is always the case in her stories, Ms. Sharpe's secondary characters are just as much fun as the main ones. What reader will be able to forget Peggy, in her backward wig, trying to throw the detective off his trail by acting demented? Or Dot and Richard, respectively playing deaf and dumb? You'll enjoy this one.
