The Mom Squad #1
A Billionaire and a Baby
"WILL YOU DELIVER MY BABY?"
Reporter Sherry Campbell thought she might be asking too much, but her baby was coming and the only one in sight was enigmatic corporate raider St. John "Sin-Jin" Adair. Despite his generosity, he disliked her because she pried into the secret past he desperately wanted to hide. Lucky for her, that didn't stop the billionaire businessman from becoming her hero.
From the moment she cornered him in the elevator, Sin-Jin felt Sherry's hold on him. He wanted privacy and yet he wanted to kiss her into next year. And now after delivering Sherry's adorable son, Sin-Jin found himself yearning to become a part of her family. But would Sherry turn him away when she finally did get the scoop on his past?

aka Marie Charles, Marie Michael, Marie Nicole, Marie Ferrarella
Marie Rydzynski was born on March 28 in West Germany to Polish parents. She moved to America at the age of four. For an entire year, Marie and her family explored the eastern half of the country before finally settling in New York.
Marie swears she was born writing, "which must have made the delivery especially hard for my mother." From an early age, Marie's parents would find her watching television or tucked away in some private place, writing at a furious pace. "Initially, I began writing myself into my favourite shows. I was a detective on '77 Sunset Strip,' the missing Cartwright sibling they never talked about on 'Bonanza' and the 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.' before there was a 'Girl from U.N.C.L.E.,' not to mention an active participant in the serialized stories of 'The Mickey Mouse Club.'" Marie began to write her first romance novel when she was 11 years old, although she claims that, at the time, she didn't even realize it was a romance! She scribbled off and on, while dreaming of a career as an actress.
Marie was only 14 when she first laid eyes on the man she would marry, truly her first love, Charles Ferrarella. During her days at Queens College, New York, acting started to lose its glamour as Marie spent more and more time writing. After receiving her English degree, specialising in Shakespearean comedy, Marie and her family moved to Southern California, where she still resides today.
After an interminable seven weeks apart, Charles decided he couldn't live without her and came out to California to marry his childhood sweetheart. Ever practical, Marie was married in a wash-and-wear wedding dress that she sewed herself, appliqués and all. "'Be prepared' has always been my motto,"the author jokes. This motto has been stretched considerably by her two children, Nikky and Jessi, "but basically, it still applies," she says.
In November of 1981, she sold her first novel for Harlequin. Marie, who now has written over 150 novels, has one goal: to entertain, to make people laugh and feel good. "That's what makes me happy," she confesses. "That, and a really good romantic evening with my husband." She's keeping her fingers crossed that her reader's enjoy reading her books as much as she enjoyed writing them.

Sin-Jin Adair is a ruthless, corporate tycoon, and he's a complete mystery - no one has ever gotten an interview or any background information on him. Sherry is a very pregnant reporter on a mission, to solve the mystery of Sin-Jin Adair...and she's persistent. But their lives intertwine irrevocably when Sin-Jin delivers her baby and saves their lives. But Sin-Jin still values his privacy and has a lot of emotional baggage, and Sherry still has an article to write.
This was a really cute story. I appreciated the, IMHO, witty banter between the hero and heroine. It didn't feel cutesy or annoying or over the top - there was a very good balance. Sin-Jin was an excellent hero, at times confident and assured and at other times completely perplexed with his own actions. Sherry was even a great heroine, although I wasn't too fond of her ethics with wanting to write an article about someone who isn't interested - in many stories, that person would be considered a villain. It was a fine line here though. Minimal angst, but what was there was realistic and suspenseful. This wasn't the most amazing book in the world and most would consider it forgettable as it doesn't have anything truly defining about it, but it was very enjoyable regardless. I'd definitely go back for more from this writer.

"A Billionaire and a Baby" can be started and put down without losing the plot or forgetting the characters. Quick read with a formula plot. This book could be kept in your purse or auto to be read while waiting for a doctor's appointment,etc.
