Her Royal Baby

by Marion Lennox

Tammy is surprised to learn she's become guardian of her orphaned nephew, Henry, who will one day be crown prince of a European country....

Marc, the darkly handsome prince regent, wants Henry brought up as royalty, and he's not used to hearing "no." But feisty Australian Tammy has no time for titles, and she's determined to give her nephew all the love a baby needs, even if she has to become Marc's stand-in princess....

About the author

Writing romance sounds fascinating. Huh?

I'm a writer. I'm boring. Day after day I sit behind a word processor making up people in my head. Why do I do it? I love it. My husband, Dave, gets up in the morning, puts on a suit and heads out into the ice and cold of Ballarat's winter. (Sadly I live in one of the tiny parts of Australia that qualifies as cold.) I make myself another cup of coffee, head up to my study, choose what music I want and sit and daydream. And I get paid for doing it. Hooray!

My first attempt at writing romance, 'Dare To Love Again', a Medical Romance, was published by Harlequin Mills and Boon in 1990. It still stands today as a monument to my family's ability to survive on cheese sandwiches and spaghetti.

Since then I've written over 80 Romances for Harlequin Mills and Boon, with more on the drawing board. (I used a pseudonym - Trisha David - for the first few Romances but suffered with a split personality and have since reverted to being Marion Lennox all the time.) In between romances, I've co-authored a non-fiction history, (I love local history) done the odd (very odd) spot of housework and done a heap of travelling - research :-)

I come from a farming community. You can probably tell this from my books. There's not a skyscraper in sight. I'm very much a pets person. Chloe and Harry were my constant canine companions for many years as I wrote, demanding walks and air freshener at frequent intervals. Sadly I lost them, and for a while I vowed not to get another. My heart was broken and my study smelled so clean! But.. The cat and I missed them so badly we weakened and bought Mitzi. Mitzi's a black and silver mini-schnauzer who makes me and the cat laugh. Expect to find her in future stories.

If you're interested in formalities, I hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree and a teaching diploma. I have a couple of kids and a huge extended family who look on me with affectionate tolerance. Marion? The crazy one who talks to people in her head... I've had nine nominations for the Rita, winning twice, and fourteen for the Australian Book of the Year. After years of thinking of my writing as a hobby I guess I finally now qualify as a `real' writer.

Thank your for taking the trouble to check out my web page. Now try my books. We might even end up having fun together. And write to me. I show my family - `See? Real people do like the things that go in in my head.'

Australia tree surgeon, find out she is the guardian to her sister baby. Who happens to be a prince.

Then comes her adult prince, who wants to take baby back to his country. Sparks fly between them .

This book is a little charmer, it's been a long while since I've given 5 stars to a Mills and Boon book because while they have a special place in my heart because they've been a part of my life since I was a 4 year old (I grew up seeing my older sisters read them), they tend to be very cliche and mostly disappointing - this book, however, was very special. It's a treasure and for me, there are very few books I can see myself rereading but this is one of those rare books. It's just a sweet, heartwarming, well-written story.

The book started out so good! But when we got to whereverville country the hero loses it. Where was his drive to 'fix the country?' Nope everything is now passed on to this baby...and the phrase 'falling in love with Henry(the baby)' was written like 30 plus times. It was scary that the baby wasn't getting the proper care and was stunted but that and helping out the country went right out the window. The end couldn't even save it.

Tree surgeon, Tammy finds out she has a nephew and that her sister has died without her mother informing her all at once. Marc, not the prince regent, wants to bring small Henry back with him, but who will care for him ?

I really liked this book. It didn't need much internalization about the plot since it's the classic royalty themed romance novel, and I particularly liked the overall vocabulary used. It's not a masterpiece, but I read it to relax so the not-so-deep narrative worked really well. I would've given it 4 stars if not for certain lines that made me cringe. (I actually felt a shiver ran across my arm haha)
