"The Baby Arrangement" [Life, Love & Babies Series, Book 1] by Samantha Chase

Author's Book Description : What do you do when a baby is dropped on your doorstep and you're not sure if the father is you or your wayward brother? If you're Derek Sloan you freak out as your perfectly organized world suddenly becomes filled with chaos. With his brother nowhere to be found and fatherhood is suddenly thrust upon him, Derek is desperate for any help he can get.

What do you do when the man you've been crushing on suddenly has a need and you are the only one he wants to fill it? You do a little happy dance and pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming! For five years Kayleigh Mitchell has longed for her boss to notice her and now that he has, she can only hope that he'll come to see her as more than a temporary solution to his problem, but someone that he wants around for the long haul.

This is a Valentine's Day SHORT STORY of approximately 27,000 words

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! A little baby is dropped into the lives of two people who never met, shaking up their future plans in great ways.

This sweet quick read covers all of its bases from finding love in unexpected places to creating a built-in family for someone who didn't realize that was exactly what they wanted/needed. It was very cute. In addition, I thought that Derek & Kayleigh were an intriguing couple who complemented each other really well. Reading about them together it wasn't hard to understand why Derek & Kayleigh fell into their relationship so quickly.

I recommend it to anyone looking for a quick fun Valentines contemporary romance!

In that instant, she saw red. Not just red with annoyance , but full-blown, ‘I’m gonna let you have it, mister’ red. Fully facing him, she poked a finger at his chest. “Now you listen to me. I am well aware that you did not ask to be put in this position, but the fact is that here you are! Now, I was more than willing to help you and Emery out but I will not sit back and listen to any more of your bitching because you’ve been inconvenienced. If anyone’s being inconvenienced here, Mister, it’s me!”
“All I did was come to work this morning like I always do and for the last couple of hours I’ve had to put of with your foul mood, your assistant ’s nasty attitude , a heart-broken baby and a lecture from my brother! And besides that, I haven’t even had lunch yet, thanks to you. ” She took a deep breath and squirmed in her seat when she saw the surprise in his whiskey eyes.
By this point, Kayleigh was trembling and she didn’t care. She took a deep breath and gave her final say. “And to tell you the truth, Mr. Sloan, I don’t think that I can help you. I think this has been a complete mistake. It would be best if you called an agency because I am just not up to this kind of situation and...” Derek’s mouth crushed against hers and thoroughly brought an end to her tirade. ~ within Chapter 2
