Secret Baby Romance by Layla Valentine, Holly Rayner  
 
The Baby Scandal is one big twist after another. Grace thought she found the perfect guy, until She discovers the joke's on her. David is not who he seems to be. His life is much more complicated than presented at first glance. The hot contractor, just found the woman of his dreams. Too bad she's not his wife. Can he salvage her opinion of him, before, she takes their baby and runs? An intricate web of lies, love and mystery.

A chance meeting has lasting repercussions for two strangers in the night. I've been reading the Baby Surprises series for some time and find that the stories keep getting better. Surprise Packages gives off a fairy tale vibe with a modern twist. Erika and Alex are a heart match for my romantic soul.

A conniving boss, a sexy sheikh and a surprising twist are at the heart of this inconvenient romance. Eloise finds herself caught in the middle of her heart's desire and a business deal gone wrong. The circumstances get even more complicated when one heated night has lasting consequences. Rayner knows how to turn on the seduction, even as she appeals to the romantic. The Sheikh's Unexpected Twins is a blend of turbulent emotions, sizzling attraction and heartwarming adventure.

I love small town romances. For me they're like walking into a hug. In a town where everyone knows everyone, it's hard to keep secrets and that's the appeal. Normally known for her steamy romances, Ms. Rayner surprised me. Jabir and Teresa are like oil and water, they don't mix. He's a tad arrogant. She's a bit naive. Yet the pompous royal and the small town beauty know how stir up trouble. Their brand of attraction gets out of control pretty fast and leaves a lasting impression. The perfect afternoon delight. The Sheikh's Small Town Baby will brighten up any bookshelf with a craving for a crazy little thing called love.

It doesn't matter who you are once love captures your heart. Holly Rayner builds on the philosophy that a little positivity has yet to hurt anybody. That mantra shines through in her stories. Even at the worst of times, her characters find a way to look on the bright side. Paige and Kehlan are from different worlds and live by different traditions, but when the heart wants what it wants, nothing else matters. Seduced by the Sheikh Doctor is a sweet romance with a beautiful message.

Accidental Triplets is a tale our hearts have come to know, yet never gets tired of hearing. Cinderella yearns to get her invitation to the ball, but life seems to keep getting in the way. Will she ever meet her Prince Charming and make all her dreams come true? Cassidy and Rhys are a modern kind of fairytale. There are no princes. There are no damsels in distress. Rayner sets out to inspire the dreamer in our souls and awaken the romantic within our hearts.

The mystery of Anita is the bait, but it's the chemistry between her and Hakim that keep readers sticking around. Holly Rayner spins an intriguing tale of dangerous treachery and forbidden love. Anita is the girl determined to forget her past. Hakim is the man intent on being her future. Can love conquer the pain that stands in their way? The Sheikh's Secret Princess is one complication away from heartache on a quest to beat the odds.

The problem with living on fairy tales is that there's always a does of reality waiting in the wings. Rayner gives readers a little bit of both. For Shelby and Julian love was no fantasy. It left Shelby with a broken heart and Julian chasing after a ghost in the clouds. Just when Shelby determines to put away her hopes of a happily ever after, the man of her dreams reappears. Fake Bride Wanted counts on the hands of fate and an age old heirloom to heal the cracks of a broken heart. Life has a way of coming full circle. Holly Rayner gets that dreams are a pleasure, but hope and faith are priceless.

Rayner takes a stroll down heartbreak lane with a sentimental tale. Dimitri and Maxine pack on the holiday romance with a handful of summer surprises. Exotic locations, steamy romance and heartwarming new beginnings await. Big Greek Baby Secret is the perfect getaway for lovers.

Rayner chose to take the obvious route to romance. His Bought Fiancee brings a dash of fairytale to reality when a damsel in need becomes a princess indeed. Alyssa gets more than she bargained for when she tries to deceive. Standing in the shadows of heartache puts her in the right position for a surprising love story. Ali and Alyssa began as a means to an end. Will that end be happily ever after?

His Accidental Baby (Wedded to the Sheikh Book 2) by Holly Rayner  
 
Just as everything seems to be falling into place, life has a way of throwing plans off course. Rayner is ever the optimist as she spins a tale of fairytale love into real time romance. His Accidental Baby is a fun twist on the shock of finding love and the chaos that gets in the way.

A Baby for Christmas wards off the chill and turns up the heat with a spoonful of sugar to balance everything out. Tis the season for goodwill, mistletoe and gift giving. Among all the happiness, there's always a hint of heartache. Shayla knows about the heartache, but she has yet to discover the happiness. Against the wonderland backdrop of New York, Cinderella is about to find her prince. Valentine and Rayner take all the best parts of romance and merge into a heartwarming masterpiece.

The Sweetest Mistake turns sugar into spice. When you're living the dream, it's easy to lose sight of reality. For Juliette, an aspiring actress and Dominic, the Hollywood, It guy, life is about to spin out of control. Valentine and Rayner turn heartwarming into addictive. Fantasy and reality are on a collision course with romance and the fallout is a delicious treat.

Love, marriage and the baby carriage. These couples tend to start off all wrong, before they end up finally getting things right. I am loving the Baby Surprises series. A Baby, Quick is a look at the making of a family, by way of reality TV. The courtship of Heather and Justin begins with a baby and ends with a romance. It's silly, sweet and irresistible.

Rock 'n' Stroller - A Rockstar's Secret Baby Romance (Baby Surprises Book 4) by Layla Valentine, Holly Rayner  
 
Sweet just became a little bit naughty and a whole lot of fun. Caught in a dream that could become a PR nightmare two totally opposite individuals tumble into love. Rock 'n' Stroller brings fantasy into the real world. Obviously it's entertaining, but it also delivers a ton of heart.

There is a bonus book at the end. That was a great surprise. I loved both books!

Desiring a diversion from another more intense, but eloquent story that I was reading about the Holocaust, I selected The Billionaire’s First Christmas as a free Kindle book on Amazon. Although I would consider this novel to be in need of some editing to correct grammatical errors and sloppy phrasing, I did enjoy the Christmas sentiment and romance upon which this story was developed, in spite of it being excruciatingly contrived and unrealistic. Robyn Hurst is a woman that loves the Christmas season, and she is incessant upon sharing that Christmas spirit with her boss, billionaire and CEO tycoon, Aaron Winters. Robyn ‘pulls out all the stops’ to bring the Christmas spirit into Aaron’s life, including a snowball fight, a ride in a horse drawn carriage, caroling with a church group, sharing Christmas cookies, and even a kiss under the mistletoe with her boss. I was totally amazed at the many things in which one can partake, all in the spirit of Christmas! Had these characters all been real, I think that Aaron would have found Robyn just a little annoying in how she kept attempting to bring Christmas into his life. Nevertheless, The Billionaire’s First Christmas was an entertaining, quick read, and it invoked some of the generous spirit associated with Christmas, which brought a tear or two to my eyes and a genuine smile now and then.
