This story didn't engage me as much as Elizabeth's books usually do.

Claire Wainwright, an obstretician, finds an abandoned baby and we have the usual Icy Woman who Warms to a Baby thing going, then her old love, Nick Campisano, steps in and of course by the end, they're a happy family.

I didn't buy it 100%, someone who is not maternal is NOT MATERNAL, so Claire's change from keeping babies at a distance to being happy in a messy house full of kids and toys didn't strike me as real.

Claire Wainwright does not like kids, although she is an obstetrician. So, when she finds a baby outside her door on New Years Eve she is surprised and terrified. Claire calls the police and when Detective Nick Campisano shows up Claire decides her night can not get much worse. Nick and Claire were lovers twelve years ago and after they seperated neither of them really moved on because they were still in love with each other and now they are together again. Nick and Claire are snowed in and must come together to take care of the baby. And if they can get over there past problems maybe they can have a future they always dreamed of.

Ninety-eight percent of this story is based on what Claire and Nick are thinking. There was very little discussion between the two characters. Most of the story was based on the little conversations and thoughts going on in their heads. They each thought about the past, they each had their own opinions of the present, and they each thought about the possible future. I was bored to tears. No matter how bad the book is I never skip over parts of the story, but I have to admit that I was real tempted in this book. I was really disappointed in this book and I hardly ever give bad reviews. This is the first book of Elizabeth Bevarly's that I have read. Although I did not like Dr. Mommy I plan on trying another of her books.
