On Valentine's Day, fallen hero Tom Lowery grimly wrote off romance. Retired his shining armor. And grumpily retreated to his lonely lair. Only to find an orphaned infant cooing on his coffee table--and willowy Leslie Harden, his former beloved, desperately proposing marriage to win custody of her precious ward!
Instinctively, Tom rushed to the rescue--and the altar. But was it strictly chivalry suddenly making him a family man? Or was it the love this baby brought to his heart...and this woman he'd never stopped wanting?
THAT'S MY BABY! Sometimes bringing up baby can bring surprises...and showers of love!

3.5 stars This one was nice and featured Tom, the friend who was so badly injured in the last book that he had to give up firefighting. I liked that the hero/heroine were celibate while apart and in each others thoughts. 18 months ago the heroine left for a new job and the hero didn't stop her because both of them had been together such a short time and they never discussed feelings. When the heroine's custody of her nephew is threatened and she is broke she comes to the her, knowing he won't turn her away. The baby helps them grow closer and the hero's mom also gets a romance. Sweet read.
