Emma Darcy's characters and books are the best that Harlequin produces, bar none. Jack's Baby is one of her best efforts. Before the story takes place the two main characters split apart because she wants children and he doesn't. But she's pregnant. When Jack is presented with his baby he has to do all that he can to prove to her that he really can fulfill all her fantasies, including being a good father!

Hero is shocked to discover heroine, who he hasn't seen since she left him 8 months ago, at the hospital after giving birth to a child he had no idea they conceived. He proposes marriage b/c he loves her & have a child together. But heroine is cautious b/c she wants to make sure that hero truly wants their daughter & not just her, given his negative views about babies & children 8 months ago.

This Darcy book was a different kind of romance. Hero & heroine are undoubtedly in love with each other. Being apart for the past 8 months only served to confirm it. The crux of this story is how they deal with a major relationship matter that they disagree with--having kids-- especially now that they have a baby. I liked how realistic their issues & resolution were portrayed. It added a dimension to their attraction to each other. I understood heroine's resistance & mistrust. I admired her courage to give hero a chance to prove himself to her and not giving in to him just b/c he says he loves her. Hero's progression from being anti-kids to being an involved father was sweet & believable.

Recommended.
