5.0 out of 5 stars This Valentine delivers., March 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Valentine Babies: Harlequin 3-Romance Novels: Goddess in Waiting; Gabe's Special Delivery; My Man Valentine (Paperback)

GODDESS IN WAITING, written by Anne Stuart and the first of this collection, gives us Marike, a long-legged completely exasperating female whom William Lambert wants the minute he sees, despite the fact that she's not his type. His type is geared to match his life: sophisticated, elegant, and worldly, everything that the smart-mouthed, quirky Marike is not. And while he annoys her completely upon their first meeting, she is immediately drawn to this tall, sexy man. You'll race through this romance, enjoying the dialogue, the characters, and the wacky world that Marike inhabits. The duct-tape dummy scene is hilarious and easy to envision thanks to one of the best wordsmiths this genre has to offer.

There are few writers who can construct this short form so very well, so make this your introduction to Anne Stuart if you've never read her before. A collection like this is a perfect sampler. I confess that I got this book for her story alone, and I haven't even bothered to read the other two yet. But one Anne Stuart gives you more than your money's worth.

1.0 out of 5 stars My Man Valentine, July 20, 2010

This review is from: My Man Valentine (Special Edition S) (Kindle Edition)

Kindle Customers BEWARE! 'My Man Valentine' is not part of an anthology but a single short story.

As of July 19, 2010 this is falsely listed as an anthology, and pictured on Amazon Kindle as part of 'Valentine Babies'. When delivered to a Kindle device or Kindle App, only one story arrives, and the other two do not appear. Is it worth it? NO! I can not recommend that anyone buy this story, which is pathetically plotted and written, as described by another reviewer of the Kindle edition, who generously gave it two stars (overrated).

4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice, Light Read., January 25, 2002

This review is from: Valentine Babies: Harlequin 3-Romance Novels: Goddess in Waiting; Gabe's Special Delivery; My Man Valentine (Paperback)

"Valentine Babies" is an entertaining anthology containing 3 stories centred on Valentine's Day and babies. All 3 stories were fun and original. I wasn't really expecting to like this book, so it was a pleasant surprise to have really enjoyed it!
The first story, "Goddess in Waiting" by Anne Stuart is the best. Marike is a larger than life woman who runs a maternity shop/shelter for pregnant teenagers. When William arrives one day in his Gucci suit looking to have a maternity wardrobe made for his sister, it's clear that these two couldn't be more complete opposites. But William finds the funky and compassionate Marike irresistible, though she's far from his usual type. Now he just has to convince Marike that they're right for each other! This story was fresh and original, and I thought it was great!
Next is Tara Taylor Quinn's "Gabe's Special Delivery". This is the story of two very different people who fall in love and rush into marriage, only to have it fall apart because of a misunderstanding. However, a beautiful baby girl helps them find their way back to each other. Bailey and Gabe are both very likeable characters. This was an enjoyable read.
Finally, Julie McBride's "My Man Valentine" is a sweet story about friends becoming lovers. Eloise has lived next door to C.D. Valentine for two years, and has been fantasizing about him since the day they met. Her plans to profess her feelings for him on Valentine's Day are interrupted when she suddenly finds herself babysitting for a very unhappy little girl. C.D., however, comes to help out, and he and Eloise finally admit that their feelings run deeper than friendship. This is a lovely romance and is sure to please readers.
Overall, this anthology is great for light reading and a few hours of relaxation. Each story is fun and romantic, so pick this book up and enjoy!
