Dr. Mariama Mandara wishes people would get over her being
a princess; let her finish the medical conference and get
back to her research. Evading paparazzi was getting
ridiculous but when she grabs a food cart and hauls it
toward the room to get away, she has no idea that an
adventure of true Christmas proportions is about to begin
and it starts with a YULETIDE BABY SURPRISE.
Dr. Rowan Boothe is also at the conference, and he too
recognizes the princess, Mari, having had a number of
antagonistic words with her. Though when instead of his
meal on the cart she pulls out an abandoned infant he's in
for a number of surprises. Her name is Issa and the note
asks for Dr. Boothe to take care of her as the mother can
not.
Rowan uses his contacts from the Military Academy he had
been sent to as a teen. There he found himself forming a
type of family with others there, calling themselves the
Alpha Brotherhood, closer knit than most families to this
day. As the search is on to find the parents, Rowan and
Mari begin to take care of the little girl and both see a
side of the other that is unexpected. He thinks she is a
pampered princess but soon learns the truth ... she's sexy
and smart. She has no idea why he works in a clinic in
Africa when he could have his own practice anywhere, but
soon learns. Will this be an interlude with no future or is
it possible that a little Christmas magic is in the works?
A YULETIDE BABY SURPRISE has a very intriguing Christmas
storyline. I don't usually like Christmas themed books,
they always seem just a little too sappy for me, but this
was written by a favorite author of mine, Catherine Mann,
and I just had to see where she would take the theme. It
was fantastic. The two doctors were so alike and unalike
that it was fun to watch them really get to know each
other. I found this book a very good read, heart-warming
without making you cry, and fantastic in the romance
department. Good job Ms. Mann.
'Tis the season to be jolly? It isn't for Dr. Rowan Boothe
when a princess on the run from the photo-hungry press
invades his hotel room. He and Mariama Mandara had their
professional clashes in the past, and Rowan has no desire to
become involved in her latest predicament—until they
discover an abandoned baby. Now he needs Mari's help and
soon discovers she's no pampered royal but a desirable
woman. Yet how long can their Christmas escape really last?
