A Baby, Quick!

Baby Surprises #3

by Layla Valentine, Holly Rayner

He never thought he’d be a father
But now he needs a baby, quick!

JUSTIN:

I’m a busy man,
I don’t have time for a relationship,
So when I learned that the hot-as-hell woman I’d just gotten with had a baby…
Well, I got out of there quick.
But now the tables have turned:
I’m the star of a new reality show, putting me, the billionaire, in the place of a new father,
And the mother and child we chose have pulled out.
I need a baby, quick,
And she might be the only option I have…

HEATHER:

He was gorgeous, charming, witty, and filthy rich,
And of course, he broke my heart.
Weeks later, he’s back with a last-minute offer:
He wants me and my darling daughter to star alongside him,
And the amount he’s willing to pay? Well, I'd be insane to turn him down.
I can’t deny I find this guy irresistible
But I can do this without falling for him all over again, right?

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.

I seem to enjoy this duo, I started with the first book which I enjoyed and I honestly, honestly don't remember if I read the second book, but I read this one and I also enjoyed. So Heather is a single mom and really does not have much time for herself, on a suggested night out she ends up bumping into Justin, who she ends up spending a nice hot not with, but she knew that if she told him she was a single mother he would ghost and that is exactly what happens until later one he can't help thinking of her especially when it ends up he needs her. Heather would be crazy to turn down his offer, but she can not fall for him..Does she?

I must say of the three books in the series so far; this one is my favorite. Heather and Justin are so great. Heather is a single mom who hasn't been out of the house much and is encouraged by her friend Julia to go to a friends house to mingle with adults. On the way she goes to pick up a bottle of wine to take there. At the store she meets Justin who is reaching for the same bottle of wine she is. The two strike up a conversation and the next thing you know Heather decides to join Justin for a night out. The connection is quick and the attraction is strong. The only thing Heather is worried about is if letting Justin know about her daughter will scare him away. Justin does in deed run when he finds out she is a single mom. That doesn't last long though. Justin can't seem to get Heather out of his mind and contacts her when he finds he needs someone to help him with a reality show he is doing to help increase the sales of his baby clothing line. What happens from there is the heart of the story and boy is it a good one. I really like how the two along with Heather's daughter seem to become a family and the loving and soft side Justin shows is so great. This is a well written book with a hot and sexy couple. Seems once Justin get baby fever all he wants is more with Heather. Wonderful HEA.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This is a fantastic story I absolutely loved it. Heather is a single mum to a 6 month old baby girl her friend Julia was pregnant at the same time so they are both going to take it in turns babysitting each other’s child and tonight is the first night that Heather is going out since she had her daughter. Heather goes to pick up a bottle of wine while at the store when someone grabs the bottle before she can, Heather is startled she looks up and see’s the most gorgeous man that she has ever laid her eyes on. He introduces himself as Justin they start talking and then he asks Heather out for a drink and she agrees, they have a good time together and end up at Heather’s place. She makes Justin wait outside while she cleans her daughters toys up because she never told Justin that she was a single mum. In the morning Just goes and makes them breakfast and while he is going through the fridge he finds a can of baby formula, he panics and gives Heather a stupid excuse that he has to leave but Heather knows that he found out her being a single mum. This is just the beginning of this story but there is so much more, it’s a fantastic story a 5 plus ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

Heather is raising her daughter alone after her ex walked out on them. With them being together for two years she hadn't expected the surprise pregnancy to end their relationship. Single motherhood to a 6 month old meant less adult time out, and certainly no dating. So meeting Justin and then him running were unexpected and frusterating.

Justin knows business but after a distant relationship with his parents his whole childhood he couldn't be with a single mom because he had no idea how to bond with their child. But after a reality tv show things changed until Justin received unexpected life changing news.

I liked this story and finished quickly once I started, but it did drive me nuts who easy he could lie when unexpected news came. The second running brought tears to my eyes, but thankfully he didn't take too long to get his act together.

After all that it became a steamy sweet Hallmark sort of story. Not only did Heather get the guy but Faye got a dad.

Heather went out for party a friend was having but she stopped to pick up some wine. While debating on the wine she meets Justin and they hit it off. They go and spend the evening together talking and hanging out. When they realized how late it was neither wanted the night to end so they ended up at her place. They had an amazing night together however once Justin learn she had a baby he couldn't leave fate enough. Heather was upset because she saw him leaving like that her future with other guys. Days later Justin needs a single mom for a reality show he is doing and goes to Heather for help. Is he too late for Heather to forgive and forget how he left her? Can Justin claim Heather and Faye as his own?


This is a great story once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Always love book that these two very talented authors co write they just seem to blend so well together and this one is no exception.

Heather a single mum doesn't get out very much so when her friend who also has a young child offers to babysit so she can get some adult company she accepts. Reaching for a bottle of wine in the shop she clashes hands with one of the most handsome men she has ever seen Justin and her get talking which leads to then going out and a one night stand. Heather knows he will run if he sees she is a single mum so she hides all trace of her daughter Faye but when he gets up the next morning and finds baby formula in the fridge that is exactly what he does he runs. He ill come back though his baby clothing business needs a boost and what better than a story about a billionaire (him) and a single mum to sell it. Is it all show or is he really starting to fall for this single mum and her daughter

Babies bringing out the best and worst in people!
The writing team of Valentine and Rayner have written another five star romance by giving us a unique storyline and well developed characters which includes babies. Babies that you swear you can almost smell them...in a good way.
The storyline 's main characters, single working mom, Heather and billionaire Justin are brilliant together. They immediately have this air of intimacy around them that it's even more jarring when on two occasions Heather reveals personal information, one unintentionally and the other intentionally and Justin reacts so despicable that it calls into question an HEA.
Without a doubt I'm recommending this book for your reading pleasure and enjoyment.

I have read several books by Layla Valentine and this was another winner! Heather is a struggling single mom to her daughter Faye. One night at the encouragement of her best friend Julia, she goes out for a night of fun. On her way, she meets Justin. The connection between them is instant and they share an amazing night together. However, the next morning Justin learns of her daughter and he takes off. Heather is hurt but not surprised. After all, her ex dumped her after she got pregnant. Weeks later and Justin can't get Heather out of his mind. When an idea for reality tv show brings Heather back into his life, will Justin get a second chance or will he run again? Really loved this story and I definitely recommend it. 5 stars!

[Jami · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this one! I have read many books by both of these authors and have enjoyed them, finding them to be fun entertaining reads and a great way to spend my free time. This one went a step above the rest. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Heather and Justin. The concept seems like it is a formula story but the guts give a fresh new look at a bored rich guy and a struggling single mom. I loved how even with the lumps life has given Heather she keeps an open mind and heart. Justin could have been an egotistical jerk but he wasn’t. He was a lost soul that didn’t know what love looked like. Very entertaining engaging read. I really had fun with this one.

Loved it. Heather met a very rich man on her way to a party and has one of the best nights of her life. When Justin accidently discovers that she is a new mom, he bolts vvery quickly. A little while down the road, he looks her up again to help him out and it helps her in exchange. They engage in another wild but sweet romance but when startling news pops up, he bolts again. This story is truly about a man who is learning what he wants out of life and why he is afraid to go after it. It was a story I couldn't put down. Very good writing - kept me engaged.

Duck wine and chemistry
by Korkoi

The book is a feel good book that has some drama, an awesome storyline, entertainment, a sizzling hot connection, anticipation, life changes and the ultimate surprise. The first meeting between Justin and Heather really set the tone for their relationship, even if they weren't aware of what the future held for both of them. It is an easy and enjoyable read that gets your blood pumping and your mind in such a tizzy that you just want to hug Heather and Faye. A definite recommendation required for this book.

Can Justin come to terms with Heather’s baby
This is my 6th book by Layla and I love an author who writes in dual point of view. Heather is going to a friend’s party so stops to pick up a bottle of wine, where she meets Justin. They spend a wonderful evening together until the morning comes. When Justin discovers Heather’s secret, he’s gone in a flash! Justin signs up to do a reality TV show with a woman and a baby to promote his floundering baby line. But when the selected woman backs out, Justin is at Heather’s door asking her to fill in. Will Justin accept the baby in the middle, or will it scare him away? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down.

[Debra Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A phenomenal read! Beautifully written, well-developed, emotionally deep, and heart melting! It is drama-filled, funny, and witty; a fun fast pace page-turner with some ups and downs; the writing is fluid and the story flows smoothly. Amazing characters who are just perfect for each other; the chemistry between them is instant, intense, and hot with sparks so explosive they will melt your kindle. Quite an enjoyable read and I have no regrets taking the time to read this book and I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

I enjoyed this book. I thought it was a nice combination of heart, humor and drama. I liked the characters and thought they had good chemistry. Of coarse, Justin is a bit unlikable at the beginning. Wealthy and a bit self centered, he does have some evolving to do. As the fun, emotional story unfolds that happens and then it's pretty easy to let yourself fall for his charm. Heather was feisty and relatable right from the start. In total, a very good romance. By my own accord I'm posting a sincere review.

[Tameka · Rating 5 out of 5]

Justine and Heather was such a sweet and loveale characters. There interactions together was like the perfect love comedies you see in the movie. You single mom meets gorgeous sexy rich single man. There some mishaps and confusion along the way but they find love and build a life together. You can never go wrong with this classic formula, also throw in some sexy times and we have a hit on our hands. So loved this book.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s an original storyline that I’ve never read anything like and I really loved the characters. These two were meant to be and it’s evident from the very beginning. Their road to HEA is one with a few struggles, but they overcome it all and make life amazing for their little family. The show that brought them into a family atmosphere is the best thing that count have happened to them. I’m looking forward to more from Layla & Holly!

This was a fantastic and well written single mommy and playboy billionaire book, couldnt put it down until I read it in one sitting.

He ran out of her apartment like his a*** was on fire when he found out she was a single mommy.
Now Justin is back asking for her help with his reality tv show. How can she say no to an opportunity like that?
Justin hasnt been able to get their one night out of his mind. He wants her....... but.....what about her daughter?.....he isnt daddy material....
