2.0 out of 5 stars It's about infertility, not romance, November 1, 2004

This review is from: Their Doorstep Baby (Maybe Baby) (Harlequin Romance) (Paperback)

I found the premise of the book disturbing. In a sense, that was the point, but I found it more disturbing, I think, than the author herself did, which alienated me somewhat from the heroine. She was completely consumed with the need to have a baby. Her sister finds herself with an unwanted pregnancy and gives the baby to her; but she finds herself obsessed with the idea that her sister and husband have had the baby together. This didn't seem reasonable to me at all. With the heroine's hormone fluctuations, you would have thought that she was already pregnant. There was no romance in this book. The heroine's husband was boorish, and she was a sad sack. I want to read better books than this, and hope this author will try harder next time.
