Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2001

Steady, responsible Dr. Seth Broadhurst was all wrong for impetuous Mimi Hartwell. But ever since she'd received the heirloom hope chest from her dearest Grammy Rose, she hadn't stopped fantasizing about him. Somewhere under the starched shirts and silk ties beat the heart of an undeniably sexy male. And Mimi was just the woman to find him....

It had taken only one night—one tender, passionate, stolen night in Seth's arms. Mimi's heart swelled when Seth offered her and their baby the protection of his name. Until she realized her dreams of marrying Seth included a proposal from the heart!

This review is from: Have Baby, Need Beau (A Walk Down the Aisle: Wedding Celebration #4) (Harlequin American Romance, No 872) (Mass Market Paperback)

Rita Herron writes a funny, yet touching, second book in her Hope Chest series for Harlequin American. A tender, humorous account of two opposites made for one another, I literally didn't put this book down from start to finish. Fine characterization and witty dialogue make this a keeper.

Tempestuous, spirited Mimi Hartwell didn't want to feel attracted to her sister's ex-fiancé, even if Hannah had just married her soul mate. After all, Dr. Seth Broadhurst is Mimi's diametric opposite, staid where she is impulsive, controlled where she is romantic, fixed where she is spontaneous. But when Mimi catches the bouquet at her sister's wedding reception, events may even exceed Mimi's typical recklessness.

As storm warnings sweep the north Georgia mountains, highways shut down and travelers seek refuge in hotels and motels. A lack of vacancies requires that Mimi and Seth share a room, and passion results in a night of beauty -- and pregnancy. Who knew whipped cream, chocolate and strawberries could be so dangerous?

Intent upon setting aside their marvelous night when dawn brings realization of their actions, a newspaper photo, with Mimi and Seth in the background, makes their tryst public knowledge. Of course, pregnancy can't be concealed long either, and Seth refuses to allow Mimi's jailbird ex-boyfriend take the responsibility for his child. Unfortunately, pregnancy can also block the roads to one's heart, as fear gets in the way. Now it's up to Mimi to open her heart, and Seth to take risks, risking spontaneity and romance to win the woman he loves.

Readers who enjoyed Rita Herron's American Romance, HAVE GOWN, NEED GROOM for its lively, sexy, and fun content, will want to add HAVE BABY, NEED BEAU to their keeper shelf as well. The combination of passion and humor will keep the pages turning. And once again Herron not only creates delightfully warm characters, but her secondary characters also provide marvelous and rich tones in the novel. Very highly recommended.
