Big Stranger's Baby
He’s the biggest I’ve ever seen.
Home for the first time in years, I end up in bed with a big, bad stranger.
When he brags about how huge he is, I make him prove it.
He pisses me off. But he’s not lying about his big, thick… body.
I don’t even know how I’ll handle that… thing!
He tears me to pieces in the best way possible.
Except now I’m pregnant.
And I’m supposed to be his new boss.
Samuel’s a miner, and he’s a good one.
Big, strong arms. Dirty, filthy grin. Ripped body. Huge absolutely everywhere.
And I’m taking over my late father’s coal mining company.
Now we’re supposed to be enemies.
But I want another taste of our intense night.
I keep picturing the way that big miner made me go down his shaft.
I can’t let myself give in, even though he makes it clear that he wants more.
He has no clue that I’m pregnant with his baby.
And when I tell him, my world is going to come crashing down.
I just hope he’ll be there to put me back together.

More than one union
A real good story about the upper management in a coal company and the miners who make it all possible. Same is the union rep and Amelia inherited the Evan's company after her father died. Overall quality of writing was good. There were some steamy intimacy scenes, no cheating or cliffhanger and you get a happy ever after. Enjoy

Big Stranger's Baby is a sexy and entertaining read. A well written book that has an enjoyable plot and likable characters. Includes lots of drama and plenty of steam to grab and keep your attention. A highly pleasurable read that I highly recommend. I'm posting a voluntary review after reading an advance copy of this book.

This engaging storyline was very entertaining with very likeable characters, but the attraction between bad boy Samuel and CEO Amelia was flaming hot scorching and blistering the pages. Very Fast Read!!!

An entertaining quick read. The plot is based around a forbidden workplace romantic tangle that complicates stuff in and out of the workplace. Some stuff was a bit far fetched but overall I enjoyed it.

A coal miner with leadership qualities and a big-city lawyer up against a corrupted board member of a West Virginian coal mine.
It’s more original than other romances I’ve been reading these days. It’s one of those one-night shags without either knowing the other, and guess who’s the fertile Myrtle on the first try? Yep! The lawyer who happens to be the daughter inheriting the mine after her adrenalin junkie of a father’s accidental death. And it’s not that she wants it, either. And the coal miner? The recently elected head of the miners’ union.
BIG oops.
Talk about a lawyer having a big conflict of interest, but it’s not something she could simply recuse herself from. But the more she discovers the goings-on with the administration, the more she realizes she and her unborn baby have bigger problems than her getting the gumption to reveal her secret to her baby’s father.
Length: Long novella.
Character development: I am pleased that I get a chance to really get to know Amelia and Samuel. Both are very likable individuals with a strong sense of loyalty and trying to do the right thing. As for our antagonist, I wish he wasn’t such a cookie cutter villain. It feels like the same old same old with a few corrupt cops on the take and messianic visions in his head. My only irritation is that Amelia IS a lawyer, and female lawyers eat nails for breakfast, especially before court appearances. BB Hamel didn’t give her enough spine in situations early on in the story. In fact, she really wimped out, being too fatalistic. Lawyers don’t get to her pay level without being sneaky, crafty, and gutsy. Okay, cutthroat, too. BB Hamel should have worked with these qualities rather than wait to the end… and even then, it’s Amelia in the victim role. Come on! She could have kicked some major corporate ass!
Emotional factor: This is a tug-a-war of emotions on many levels. It’s employer vs employee, a line that can’t be crossed especially with unionized workers. Amelia may be criticized for not telling Samuel sooner about her condition, but keep in mind she is a lawyer, and as a lawyer, you can’t trust anyone.
Speed of action: Great action. It kept me reading without stopping for a breath.
Predictability: Tit for tat. Threat and confrontation. Yes, and Samuel does get the crap kicked out of him. It’s not like it was exactly predictable. It’s what usually happens in a union’s strike when dealing with dirty administration. But BB doesn’t wimp out. In real life, people have died in similar situations.
Credibility issues: I already mentioned how UN-lawyerly Amelia acted. She certainly had enough experience in corporate law to know what to do in the board room. Also, I’ve worked in West Virginia in coal country in an urgent care in the middle of NOWHERE. (We really were the first-contact ER without being attached to a hospital.) She didn’t make me feel I was there. This is another example on how important it is to research and make the reader feel like s/he was actually there. It could have been in upstate New York for that matter. Also, it’s REALLY POOR out there. I should know. I did a few house calls because I knew the families couldn’t afford coming to my urgent care. And they are a very proud and loyal folk. They don’t turn their backs that easily because of the whiff of $$. Those who are new gen without ethics would have blown out of Dodge long prior to that.
Grammar and technical errors: Some misspellings. But… (here we go again with my pet peeve): I am NOT PLEASED with the bonus materials included of ebooks still available at Amazon. Here’s the breakdown:
Big Stranger’s Baby: A Bad Boy Secret Baby Romance 16 January 2018 $3.99. It contains:
Intense: A Dark Billionaire’ Romance 21 January 2017 $3.99
Virgin’s Daddy: A Billionaire Romance 13 April 2017 $2.99
This is a total of $6.98 worth of materials. The problem? This is $6.98 wasted had you bought the two bonus novellas when they originally came out. This isn’t any penny-ante $0.99 per book. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE NOVELLAS! I would be enraged to find out that these were made for free a year afterwards. Why in the world did I buy them in the first place if BB Hamel would reprint them for free?? And Big Stranger’s Baby isn’t cheap for a novella. $3.99? A smart reader would only read it as a KU borrow. I would. Then BB Hamel would wonder why she isn’t selling books. (I’m hearing this whine ALL THE TIME now from writers. Well… DUH!)
Okay, I do have KU, but I’m getting so tired of the books I HAVE bought, only to find out they have been reprinted for free less than a year later that any new writer I find doing this, I’m not reading another one of their books again. Why bother? (In a very recent case, an author included $35.84 worth of “freebie” bonus material, most of these novel/las having been published less than one year ago!)
I give the story 3 stars. I give Ms. Hamel zero stars for unethical behavior.

Hot miner
This is a hot miner vs CEO story. Even when the bad guys try to be dirty sometimes the good people win😳
And sometimes someone ends up pregnant. Lol. So this book has a little bit of everything. Good story.

I enjoyed the story tho it's not one of my favorites. I'm voluntarily leaving a review for a copy of the book.
October 17, 2020
Man, this book is not what I expected. I honestly wonder if the person who made the cover and wrote the precis even read the story because the tone is completely off.
Sure, Samuel is a big guy, and ladies around town whisper about how "big" he is, but he's not that guy the precis makes him seem. He's not arrogant and ultra-cocky and a grade-A alpha-hole. He's just a handsome small-town guy who flirts a bit, but has a good heart.
Truthfully, I think the author got confused about the type of hero she was writing, and would add in comments from the heroine calling him an a-hole and stuff like that, but they never made any sense because he hadn't done anything to warrant them. Like, after the scene where he took Amelia into the mine. All he did was show her around and introduce her to some of the guys, and when they leave, her internal thoughts are :
"I wish I could shove him and yell at him. He's such a brute and a jerk and an asshole...."
Then added to these unfitting characterizations, there are a few scenes where it seemed the author decided to add in things, but forgot to edit out parts that no longer made sense with the changes.
For example, after Samuel gets jumped by the dirty cops, Amelia finds out he's injured and goes to see him. When she arrives, she talks to the nurse, Sarah, and Sarah explains what usually happens during miner contract negotiations, and Amelia puts two and two together and realizes Ingram, her VP, had people beat up Samuel. But, when she goes into Samuel's room, she asks if he got hurt in the mine, and he tells her that Ingram sent goons to intimidate him, and she's shocked and doesn't believe it.
However, once we get to the scene between Amelia and Neal about Ingram not presenting the contracts, the author seems to hit her stride, and the back end is done really well. I loved how she included Samuel's worries that he might accept a deal that wasn't good enough for his guys because he was emotionally entangled with Amelia. And the big betrayal at the end was completely unexpected and added a great layer to the whole thing.
This book could really be a four or even five star book if the cover and precis were changed to actually reflect what this story is like, and the author cleaned up the first part to remove her meager attempts to make Samuel a "bad boy". This is definitely not "A Bad Boy Secret Baby Romance" as the cover suggests. This is actually a kind of sweet romance between two people from different worlds. I love how Samuel was a working class guy and Amelia was the high-powered executive. Such an original change over all those typical billionaire romances. And I really super duper loved how Samuel had absolutely no insecurities about Amelia having more money or a more impressive job title. What a guy!
I did end up enjoying the story, and I think there's definitely a lot of potential here.

This is an excellent and engaging story that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Amelia’s life takes on an unusual twist when her father dies. Suddenly she has no alternative but to return to her childhood home and take up her position as head of Evans Energy. Running a coal mine is something Amelia knows nothing about. Samuel is a miner and has a love for the town and the people, but negotiating a new contract is almost impossible; he is thwarted at every turn. Intimidation is rife and while all this is going on Amelia keeps Samuel in the dark about the consequences of their one night stand, even as they draw closer together. The story involves lots of intrigue and the book is certainly one I would have no hesitation in recommending.
It was a freak accident that caused her father’s death, changing Amelia’s life forever. Amelia has returned to Wheelville and is now the new head of Evans Energy; it was always her father’s wish she should take over if anything happened to him, but Ingram has other ideas. Wheelville is a coal mining town and Amelia notices that The Shaft is full of rough looking men, the sort that would work in her father’s mine. Amelia and Samuel strike up a conversation in the bar and this makes Amelia forget all about her problems; though used to the intellectual type, smart rich boys from good families, Samuel is the opposite. He is a total stranger and yet she is opening up to him like she never has before telling him about her life in the City, while she listens to him talk about the town and the people in it. Drawn to Samuel, Amelia wonders if she has made the most blissful mistake of her entire life when she agrees to spend the night with him. Samuel is a miner through and through and the men respect him, which is why he has been made Union Head. While Samuel isn’t sure what he’s getting himself into, subtlety wasn’t exactly his strength. Negotiating a new contract between Evans Energy and the miners isn’t straightforward when Samuel realises that Amelia is the new president, who is relying on Ingram for support, a man not well liked, and who has no respect for the miners. Samuel is Amelia’s biggest adversary, but she cannot see him that way; a person she has to defeat in a contract negotiation. Amelia wants there to be a balance between what will take care of her workers and what will ensure the company keeps going. The men were depending on Samuel to negotiate a new contract, but his efforts are thwarted at every turn from Ingram’s intimidation, until there is only one option left. As Ingram gets more and more desperate, lives are put at risk. Amelia finally comes up with a contract that will work, but when Ingram hears about it, it makes him more desperate and dangerous. Samuel has been betrayed and when he realises the consequences, it is time for the miners to exact their revenge. A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

The next day at work she meets Samuel again and discovers that he is the union rep of the miners in her company. Management and workers stay apart and never the twain shall meet - supposedly!

The most MARVELOUS feel-good romance, the MUST-READ of the year! It will blow you away!
When I was a tween and learning that not all people are nice or have good intentions, my mother told me that good people tend to gravitate towards each other. Like most teens, I had the growing suspicion that my mother knew nothing of the world in which I lived, so I discounted her sage advice. That was until after a few years passed and the reality of the world beyond high school showed me that what she said was more than true. The story told by author B. B. Hamel in her newest book, “Big Stranger’s Baby” illustrates that gravitational pull that good has on good and bad has on bad. The Book Blurb will give you more particulars on the plot, but what this reviewer needs to tell you is that B.B. Hamel’s prose flows so easily that the reader can almost sit back and let the story just mind meld. There are few authors able to write erotic romance with such clarity of thought and concise language that the reader can see each setting, feel each character’s emotion, and the stress as the conflict comes to its peak. There are no “drop-in” gratuitous sex scenes. Instead Hamel lets the relationship bloom with the promise of more steam with verbal innuendo and hot kisses that allude to the potential for more . . . Hamel’s writing will take you away for a few hours and immerse you in a world where characters who feel like friends must face the most pernicious villains but are able to save the day with the promised HEA. The plot of “Big Stranger’s Baby” is marvelous, the characters seem real and are revealed over time, and I want to go back and live in Wheelville again. While I was given an ARC copy of “Big Stranger’s Baby” to prepare this honest voluntary review, I plan to purchase a copy to support this wonderful romance author. I STRONGLY suggest IN THE most ROBUST terms, you purchase your copy today! Happy pages! 😉

This is story about Amelia and Samuel who will work on opposite sides in the same business.

The negotiations between them are anything but normal but they do make progress. As time moves on the negotiations get a bit dangerous as the 2nd in command is after Amelia’s job and money. I loved what Samuel believes in and how he stands up for those beliefs.

What will Amelia do to keep her position at the family business? I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I read this book as part of an arc program. I loved the story of Amelia and Samuel. Amelia returned to town after her father's death to learn she was now the owner of a mining company. Amelia went to a bar the night of her father's funeral and she met Samuel, and when he asked her to go home with him she does, but she left before morning. When Amelia gets settled at the company, she is set to meet with the head of the union for contract negotiations, but she wasn't expecting Samuel to be the head of the union. Samuel is happy to see Amelia again and he wants to sleep with her again, only she wants to keep things professional. Amelia and Samuel try to work through a contract, but Amelia is having problems with an advisor who thinks she is giving too much in the contract. So Amelia tries to come to an agreement with Samuel, while keeping the fact she is pregnant a secret. This was a really good story with twists and turns. There was a great connection between Amelia and Samuel they couldn't deny. Another great one.

I really enjoyed this story and background. The characters and story are rich, bold, complicated, mysterious, intriguing, complex, unique, down to earth, and honest. Ms. Hame's writing style is truly well conceived from first to last pages.

Great story of love & intrigue by Ms Hamel. When Amelia's dad dies, she becomes CEO of his mining business. She has hooks up with Samuel, one of the miners, who is about to become more than a miner. Samuel was awesome: honest, trusted, loyal, known to do the right thing. Working with Amelia, she proved herself to be caring of the men in her employ. Corporate and union aren't supposed to get along but Samuel and Amelia know they need to work together for everyone’s benefit. There are people with their own agendas, seeking to take advantage of the two negotiating newcomers. But with a baby on the way, are they able to keep Amelia safe from the danger that surrounds them? Ms Hamel has woven a strong romance through her story, with a giant swoon-worthy H equal to the strength of his woman. Loved this one!

I loved the latest from B.B. Hamel! When Amelia returns home for the first time in what seems like forever it's to lay her father to rest and find out what the future holds for the family company. A night at the local miner's bar has her meeting Samuel, the rough around the edges man who will turn out to be on the other side of the table when it comes to labor talks regarding the company, but at the time she doesn't know that and he is a great distraction from the despair seeming to weigh her down. Samuel and Amelia are electric together and even though they find themselves on opposites sides of the table they can't stay away. When danger closes in on the couple he will do whatever he can to keep what he is finding with her safe. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book.

When Amelia’s father passes away, she is left as the CEO of his mining company. Arriving in town, Amelia goes into a bar, where she ends up having a one night stand with hot and sexy Samuel. Both of these characters are taken aback when the next day Amelia is introduced as the new boss and Samuel as the union rep for the miners. The chemistry between these two is smoking, and they struggle to stay away from each other. No spoilers though; this is an absolute must read, you will not be disappointed.

When One Night Of Passion Becomes An Obsession That Could Bring Them Both Trouble..
What A sexy twisted storyline! I love how I saw some things coming and others I did not!
Amelia and Samual are a spark flying taboo match made in naughty town. I could not get enough of these two, the constant tug of war, the off kilter humor you find nestled in amoungst the darkness of the storyline makes them down to earth and so relatable!
So much passion and heart it was a no brainer for me this fast paced, high friction tale was a one sitting had me on the edge of my seat swiping those pages, NEEDING to know what could possibly go wrong next.
Excellent read by B.B Hamel!

I just love this author, I get so excited when I see the notice in my emails that another book is coming out, just recently they have been so completely different, just like a box of chocolates you never know what your going to get but you know it will be good. This story has everything Action, suspense and my that chemistry between Samuel a miner all his life and Amelia the recently appointed new boss of the mine following the untimely death of her father is off the charts, very hot and steamy. As always the story line draws you in, you think you have the plot sorted out and someone throws a spanner into the works. I read this as an ARC for the author and left this as my voluntary review.

Amelia and Samuel are perfect for each other. Amelia is sweet and a little naive. But she has such a good heart. Samuel has an even bigger heart and is responsible for so much. He has so much responsible on his shoulders. But there chemistry is undeniable and they can't stay away. There on opposite sides with something at work and need to come to an agreement. Can they make this work? Will there jobs get in the way? Are they in danger? Samuel is a totally amazing guy. There's so much more than meets the eye with him. Love him! Definitely recommend

I received this book in advance for a voluntary honest review. Loved it! B.B. Hamel knows how to write a book you don’t want to put down. Amelia returns to her small hometown to take over her late father’s mining company. Samuel is a miner and newly elected union president who needs to negotiate a better contract for his fellow miners. Everything about Samuel is BIG. A one night stand between Samuel and Amelia prior to them meeting each other in their official capacities will have consequences in nine months, but can they come to terms on a contract? Lordy, this book is good. Steamy sex, danger and intrigue, it will hook you and you won’t want to put it down.

This book has it all. Amelia is back home for her fathers funeral and to run his coal mine company. She meets Samuel at the bar after the funeral. The two hit it off immediately and spend the night together. Neither knew that they would soon see one another soon and that Amelia was technically Samuels boss. Their story all revolves around the mine and the workers getting a fair wage and good working condition. The story has several twist and turns and Samuel and Amelia are amazing together. All in all a great story!
