Baby on the Billionaire's Doorstep by Emily McKay

Rae has also reviewed this book recently.

Hero Appeal:

The hero had me right at the start with this:

Everything in Derek's life was like that. Perfect. Controlled. Pretentious.

It set Dex's teeth on edge. Made him want to take his motorcycle out of storage and pop some wheelies on his brother's plush green lawn.

Not that he would. He was a respectable contributor to the family business these days. A damn pillar of society.

I guess I like a touch of bad-boy hero because his desire to pop wheelies on the lawn just made me grin.

I kept hoping Dex hadn't been quite the playboy the heroine imagined and I admit I came away from the book still wishing that. But I really enjoyed the book. I liked the way the story explored maternal and paternal instincts in a new and fresh way. Lucy was prepared to lie for her niece and I think if you're a parent you may have had a moment at some point when you realised you would do things for your children you would never do otherwise. I know I have thought that.

The story flowed from one moment to the next, the baby's part in things was adorable. LOL @ the scene with the ring.

Definitely will be looking for the next Messini story.
