About the author
Kristy Tate
104 books153 followersDr. Seuss was my first love. When my mom left me in the children’s section of the library I’d find Horton and the Cat. My mom hated the good doctor and refused to checkout his books. He was my secret, guilty pleasure. Eventually, I read about Narnia, Oz and Green Gables.
When my mom grew too sick to visit the library, a friend brought her a stash of romances which she kept in a big box beside her bed. Weekly, this good friend replenished the box. My mom didn’t know I read her books; it was like the Seuss affair, only sexier. Reading became my escape from a horrific and scary situation. Immersed in a story, I didn’t have to think about the life and death drama taking place on the other side of my bedroom wall. Books were my hallucinogenic drug of choice. In college, I studied literature and fell in love with Elliot, Willa and too many others to mention. (This had no similarity to my dating life.)
I’m no longer a child living with a grieving father and a dying mother, nor am I the co-ed in search of something or someone real, nonfictional. I’m an adult blessed with an abundance of love. I love my Heavenly Father and His son, my husband and family, my dog, my friends, my neighbors, my writing group, the birds outside my window.
Because I’m a writer, I also love my characters. I adore their pluck, courage and mettle. I admire the way they face and overcome hardships. But, as in any romance, I sometimes I get angry with them and think that they are too stupid to live. At those times, I have to remind myself that they live only in my imagination, unless I share. Writing for me is all about sharing--giving back to the world that has so generously shared with me-- because I learned a long time ago that the world is full of life and death dramas. Sometimes we need a story to help us escape.
And we need as much love as we can find. That’s why I write romance.

Pretty good series
One book I didn't like at all. I only read about two chapters. Took place in New Zealand.I just didn't get the area and terminology, so it was boring. One other was all about a vet resident and student,and while okay had nothing to do with babies.The rest were pretty good.

A group of short stories all involving babies
I enjoyed each of these stories in their own way by various authors. Somewhere sad most were happy with happy endings. There was one story while I enjoy the ending part of it I was totally bored with the beginning. That story was about the horse and all the technical term shoes just were put off.

Babies all over the place.
A very nice compilation of sweet romance stories, all with babies as the central theme. Some of the babies are Christmas babies, and some are conceived during the holidays.

Good series
I liked most of the books in this collection A couple seemed to be geared to young adults. I especially liked the last book “Christmas in July” definitely worth reading. I also found a couple of new authors that I would like to read more of their books

I enjoyed most of the books very much. One left me hanging, wishing there was a better ending. The
book which took place in New Zealand had a very bad beginning and I almost put it aside. But, I decided to give it a chance and ended up enjoying the story. The first 2 chapters were a real struggle as the terminology was difficult to understand and the story jumped around so much using different names for the same person. Once through the first two chapters, all is explained and the story was quite good. Author needs to rework those first two chapters or many people will not finish her book.
