There
isn’t anyone in Laurel Bay he hasn’t been able to charm.
But charming a baby is a whole different story.
Life has never been better for Jamie Donovan. But then again, it's always has
been good to him. And now that it’s his turn to take charge of the family pub,
he truly feels like everything in his life is just the way it’s supposed to be.
Or it was until an early morning knock on his door ended with a baby on his doorstep.
The man who can normally charm his way out of any situation doesn’t know the
first thing about taking care of a baby and running a business. And so he turns
to his siblings for help.
And once they tell him their solution, he wishes he’d never asked for help.
Fallon Murphy has always prided herself on being good with people. In all her
life, she’s only met one person she hasn’t been able to get along with.
Unfortunately, their parents are best friends and avoiding him just wasn’t a
choice. When his sister calls stating an emergency, the last thing Fallon
expects is to find an abandoned baby – one that belongs to Jamie. As much as
she’d love nothing more than to see Jamie fail at something, she would never
put an innocent child at risk.
They’re rivals.
Sworn enemies.
And now… roommates.
Can one small baby help turn adversaries into lovers? Or maybe even… a family?

– ☆☆☆☆
This is the fourth book in the series, and I would definitely recommend that
you read them all and in order, but if you are impatient to read this one, then
you could always go back later and get more insight into the family dynamics.
Jamie has what is now a somewhat unfair reputation of being a player – one with
manners and honesty, but still not one to settle down. Recently that has gotten
old, but he hasn't found a reason to argue about it, he is too invested in
showing his parents that he can do a good job of running the family pub whilst
they go on an extended holiday.
Just as it seems that he has everything under control, a baby is left on his
doorstep and all carefully laid plans are blown to the wind. His siblings all
gather round to help, and their solution is to find a nanny. As it happens,
their long-time friend (and his nemesis) Fallon is home after losing a job in
early years administration – so should be a perfect fit... except for the
nemesis bit!
Watching these two people work together for the good of the baby, but avoid
each other at the same time is entertaining and it feels inevitable that they
will realise that the distance between love and hate is short. What I really
liked about this book, though, is that it then deals much more carefully with
the issues of why the mum left her child, and how things should be going
forward. This, for me, was done really well, and reminds us all not to judge
without all the facts.
A lovely mixture of really funny moments, as well as poignant and loving ones.
Another good read in this series, thank you!
