The Count's Secret Child - Theo was smug, overbearing and annoying and I wondered what had possessed sweet Carrie to fall for him. I guess riches can turn a person's head. It was interesting to learn what had brought them together and torn them apart. It made me want to smack Theo even more. I did appreciate that Carrie stood her ground and thought about her child's needs before her own.

The Sandoval Baby - This story was a little more intense and a little rushed I felt but otherwise it flowed rather well. I felt bad for Rafe who learned 3 years later that he had a son due to the machinations of his ex-wife. I also felt bad for Freya who had raised the boy as her own only to have the natural father come back demanding his child back. The chemistry between Rafe and Freya was quick to burn and things progressed a little too fast before settling down with a predictable twist.

Would I recommend this? Both were solidly written and can be enjoyed. ( )

rabck from booklady331; ; It's a Harlequin Presents, so the plot brevity just to get to the falling over each other is to be expected. In The Count's Secret Child, Theo summons his old girlfriend to his home, not expecting that she's bringing a son he didn't know existed. In The Sandoval Baby, against his better judgment, he allows his late ex-wife's nanny to come along when he takes custody of the son he didn't know existed - and falls for the nanny. ( )
