Baby, Oh Baby!

by Robin Wells

The hunk who appears on Annie's doorstep is a looker. The tall attorney's aura is clouded, and Annie can see that he's been suffering for some time. But all that's going to change, because two new people are going to come into his life. And Annie wonders who the lucky pair is going to be. Jake knows how things are supposed to be, and that doesn't include fertility clinic mix-ups or having fathered a child with a woman he's never met. And looking at the redhead who is the mother, Jake realizes he's missed out on something spectacular. But the woman believes her grandfather talks to her through roadside billboards! Still, he asks himself, is that any stranger than his sudden compulsion to woo her? Everyone knows how things are supposed to be-first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage. Maybe this time, things are going to happen a little differently.

[Lady Gabriella of Awesomeness (SLOW) · Rating 5 out of 5]

♥ Five heavy-family-drama stars ..♥



Unlike its deceptive light hearted cover...Baby..Oh baby ! is actually a pretty serious heavy,layered drama revolving a widower... his daughter's eccentric mother and his passed wife's in-laws having their own set of fidelity problems..

"I dont know if I believe in God."
"That's ok.." Annie squeezed his hand."He believes in you"

My thoughts: To be honest,Originally I wasn't really ready for this heavy amount of angst..I just wanted something light to get me through the day but nevertheless once I started this read I couldn't put the book down after starting it..even for a second ! ♥ I guess it turned out to be quite an entertaing read after all :)

It was a bit slow here and there but overall it's an emotionally packed novel that dealt with more real-life issues than most other contemporary romances usually do.

Would I recommend it ?
Definatly...the plot deserves points for originality.

Would I read another Robin Wells ?
Yes for sure.

"I dont know if i believe in God."
"That's ok.." Annie squeezed his hand."He believes in you"

What I expect: Something fluffy, light and cuteness overload. Something like this:



What I got: A funny book that has some heavy mojo. You all think it's all fun and playful, but it actually has a sharp bite.



Not gonna lie, this book is a hoot. This is not your typical contemporary romance and I love it.Despite the funny cover and the light title, Baby, Oh Baby! is the type of book where hidden depths and family drama exists. Yeah sure, there's a lot of funny scenes and laugh out loud thoughts made by the main characters, but Robin Wells did a marvelous job in giving this book a deeper impact than what I usually expected.

3.5 stars
Please don’t judge the book by either its cover or its title. It’s not a silly or fluffy read as either would suggest. It’s a well written multi-layered story that evokes whole gambit of emotions from gut-wrenching sadness to melt-your-heart joy.

Still devastated by his wife’s death two years ago, attorney Jake Chastaine discovers that their doctor at the fertility clinic was unethical SOB. He turned Jack’s backup sample into a donor specimen when the donor bank ran low. As result, a woman Jake never met has had his baby and he’s determined to find the child and become a part of his/her life.

The unsuspecting sperm donation recipient, Annie Hollister, left a big city life and fast-paced advertising agency job behind and returned to the ranch her grandparents left her. She is happy and content there taken care of animals and raising her precious little daughter Madeline. Nothing could threaten her happiness until Jake shows up on the doorstep, claims to be her child's father, and demands custody.
Understandably, their first meeting was a disaster of cosmic proportions.

Jack:
It was unfair, damn it-completely, totally unfair! It was beyond unfair. It was a travesty of justice…How had this loony-tune woman-this barefooted, Tweety-Bird-haired, alpaca-fleece-covered, poop-scooping woman-ended up the mother of his child?
Annie:
Her whole world seemed to swirl away …With a sickening certainty she was sure that nothing in her life would ever be the same.

"Starch up”, rigid, super structural Jack is a total opposite of quirky, free-spirited, eccentric Annie.
How they resolve their differences makes a wonderful reading.

Robin Wells writes with humor and wit, and with such an underlying sadness and sympathy you just get sucked right in.

There is a secondary story that involves Jack’s in-laws and devastating effect the death of their only daughter had on them and on their marriage. It 's nicely complemented the main romance in its characterization and emotional depth... for the first half of the story..until it turned into this grotesque and frustrating for me storyline. /_<>_\

This novel was first published in 2001. It has been re-released in e-format with few modern additions. Ms. Wells is a new author for me and I would definitely look for her other stories in the future

[Crista · Rating 5 out of 5]

I find that GREAT contemporary romance novels are very hard to find. Robin Wells consistently delivers outstanding books and then some!

I loved her book Prince Charming, but this one is even better! The cheesy cover does a complete disservice to this book. This story is actually very emotional and multi-layered with deep characters and a completely unique plot.

I appreciate this author's humor. Her books contain many "laugh out loud" moments, which I find very rare. Delivering funny dialogue is a talent and Robin Wells has the gift. The refreshing thing about this book is that it has the perfect blend of humor, emotion, tension, and "feel good" moments. It also contains a secondary love story that adds to the story and doesn't overshadow it.

This is a "making of a family" story. The kind of story that I like best. It had me glued to the pages and I devoured this book as fast as my eyes could read the words. This was pure reading entertainment and I'm so glad I've found this author who has yet to let me down.

Genius and beautiful cover representing the story!

MMC had a long battle along his wife dealing with infertility. He froze his "sperm" and his wife is up for "in-vitro" treatment. Unfortunately, the wife died in a car accident. MMC forgot about the fertility clinic until 2 years later he got a letter listing him as "a sperm donor".

Since he's a lawyer, we went to the clinic to tell them they made a mistake and to dispose off his sample once and for all. However, he was shocked to find out that an "unethical" doctor took the liberty to inseminate the MMC sperm into a female client.

The FMC had always thought that she bought the sperm from an anonymous donor who relinquished all his parental rights. Now, she has to deal with a very angry lawyer who very much wants to be a part of the baby's life.
As the cover suggested, the baby played cupid between them and it was both a funny and emotional read ^_^

(Note: what's with author always choosing the name "Rachel" to torture our hearts? You won't get this remark unless you've read this book and a book called "Ugly Love" as well")

Checking the square of reading a book starting with the letter "B" in my 2025 Bingo Challenge.

[Saly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hero has become increasingly sullen and angry ever since he lost his wife and parents in an accident two year ago but then he learns that the fertility treatment he and his wife visited, made a big error, they used his sperm to impregnate a woman, a woman who became pregnant. This gives the hero something to live for and he tracks down the heroine. The heroine comes across kooky at first to him, what with all her talks about reading tea leaves and her grandfather talking to her through billboards. But she has a 14 month old daughter who looks just like him.

When the hero comes into her life, the heroine is rightly not welcoming. She signed up for an anonymous donation and not for some man landing on her doorstep, demanding her daughter. Her parents unhappy marriage and her own unsuccessful one propelled her to seek other ways. She quit her advertising job and moved to the farm.

I enjoyed seeing the hero struggle at first with his daughter and the twinkie thing was plain adorable and funny. There is a subplot involving the hero's in-laws and their marriage vows. His father in law is on the verge of cheating while his wife is finally recovering from depression. I still kind of found the father in law not so sympathetic.

The hero/heroine end up getting married temporarily. I did like how the heroine was adamant about not being a second choice. Overall a good contemporary romance.

I am a fan of Robin Wells though I have to say this is not one of my favorites.

[Carrie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. I expected light and fluffy like Rachel Gibson or Susan Andersen (both whom I love!), but got something a little different. While Baby, Oh Baby! had some very funny scenes, it was a much deeper and more complex book than I expected. It wasn't as self-consciously serious like Judith McNaught's work, but the book dealt well with some tough issues. At almost 400 pages and small type (ppb), the book was long enough to develop characters naturally instead of resorting to information dumps. By letting the story unfold over chapters instead of pages, the people and the storyline seem more real to the reader. The only things keeping this book from being 5* for me was the author making one character too much of a caricature, and tying things up a little to quickly right at the end. And in some way, those are just quibbles. This really is an above average contemporary romance.

[Maqluba · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this because I like the accidentally pregnant trope, and I love babies:)
The story wasn't bad, it just lacked in some departments. The heroine was not-so-kookie, the hero was not-so-angsty, the neighbors were not-so-nosy, and the secondary was not-so-secondary..even the dog was not-so-cute!! It just needed more all around (except for the secondary romance, that I could have done less with). I liked the story, it just wasn't fun-- and that's something important in this genre.

Annie is eccentric. She left a lucrative Advertising career in NYC to raise llamas and read tea leaves. She believes her path was predestined and the billboards are signs. She lives on the farm her grandparents bequeathed her and decides she is ready for a baby, using artificial insemination.

Excerpt:
(Annie): What was amazing was the way the words sounded in my head. I know this sounds strange, but I heard Grandpa's voice. Like he was sitting right beside me, talking in an insistent tone. I thought I was really losing it."
(Jake): No wonder. You were. Jake struggled to keep his expression attentive yet blank as she looked up and continued.”

(Annie): “After the divorce," she continued, "I really threw myself into my career. I focused on deadlines and meetings and all the things listed in my calendar. I never stepped back and thought about what I really wanted. Not until I heard Grandpa read that billboard, that is.”
(Jake): I see that you sound seriously disturbed. What was the mental illness where people thought they heard voices? Schizophrenia?

(Annie): “And all of a sudden, I knew what I was going to do."
(Jake): Commit yourself to a mental institution? Unfortunately, that apparently had not been her decision Jake shifted uneasily.
“What was that?”

“The mother of his child was a wacko who thought her dead grandfather talked to her through bill- boards”.

Jake’s wife and his parents were killed in an vehicular accident two years ago. Prior to her death, Elizabeth desperately wanted a baby. His late wife and himself were fertility patients preparing for an IVF treatment when she died.

He’s listed as Donor #13013 and has been receiving request letters for the past six months for specimens. His back up specimen was specifically for their IVF treatment. His sample was inseminated into Annie because the doctor borrowed sperm from a fertility treatment patient’s partner and illegally used the specimen...a controversy ensues.

He is not a donor, has never been a donor...yet, his specimen was illegally inseminated into a recipient complete with a live-pregnancy. The facility tried to make excuses of his donor profile being a data input error and that they would dispose of it until he accused them of potentially tampering with evidence. Then they suggested he forget the existence of the child.

This is a story of misidentified sperm misused due to error in judgement reconciling to having a child with a stranger. The poignancy raises many ethical questions.

Jake sets out to meet Annie and thinks of her as an oddity.

“Donors sign a release surrendering all rights, all claims”
“Donors have no parental rights."
"I wasn't a donor. My wife and I were undergoing fertility treatment. Our lowlife excuse of a doctor decided to help himself to my specimen when the donor bank ran low."

Annie is temporarily out of commission due to an appendectomy and Jake misunderstands the term pacifier ‘binkie’ and supplemented a 14-month baby’s diet with Twinkies. Hence his nickname ‘Ink’.

Excerpt:::
“I don't want to be separated from her."
"Annie, I'm not planning to take Madeline away from you."
“You threatened to."
"That was before I got to know you."
‘And now that you know me, you've changed your mind?"
“Well, when I first met you, I thought you were a real head case."
“Thank you for that astoundingly flattering assessment."
“Oh, come on-you have to admit, you came across as something of a flake. You mistook me for someone else. You force-fed me tea, then started reading my fortune. You told me your dead granddad talks to you through billboards, you were dressed like a fur-covered street urchin, and you had a sign by the road advertising pecks of llama poop...."
"Alpacas," Annie corrected. "They're alpacas."
Jake heaved a sigh. "The point is, you came across as less than stable."
"And now you've decided I am?"
Jake's grin was teasing. "Well, I wouldn't take it that far."

This book focuses tremendously on Elizabeth. Elizabeth’s parents, the home they shared, their marriage, his memories..who’s the heroine, Elizabeth??? He would only wear the wedding ring Elizabeth placed on his hand. Why the heck did Annie choose to wear a ring❓

Marrying Annie was a disservice whilst he might be attracted to her. He wants access to the baby and Annie is part of the package deal.

Visiting their home briefly, she’s tempted to flee, recognising she did not belong and was an intruder in another woman's home. Jake proved he had the sensitivity of a gnat.

Tom’s anger at Susannah’s withdrawal after Elizabeth’s death frustrating. He was unsympathetic of her depression more of a petulant child easily lured by a barracuda on legs.

It takes a gracious woman to remain impassive when the ‘other woman’ confronts and taunts your insecurities.

Finally. Finally. Jake comes to his senses❗️❗️❗️

Spoiler Alert

3.5-4

Had a cheating element with the in-laws as a secondary story line. FIL is a jerk, but you do feel MIL pain, so from that perspective I had a little of the cheat angst that I love. The actual H is a jerk, too, but I actually liked him by the end. Dead wife trope as well. Not a light and fluffy read as the blurb indicates, it can get heavy.

Read years ago, updating.

Baby, Oh, Baby by Robin Wells

Two years ago, Jake Chastaine had it all. A brilliant law career, wealth, and a beautiful wife. Then it all came crashing down when his parents and wife were killed in a car crash. Just as he's starting to move on, he discovers the fertility clinic he and his wife attended used his sample to get another woman pregnant. Anne Hollister enjoys her peaceful life on an Oklahoma ranch with her daughter. Until a stranger shows up claiming to be Madeline's father and wanting to be a part of her life. Can these two work things out for the better of a little girl? And can both move on from their past to love again?

This was first published in 2001. Wells got her rights back and republished this story with a few modern corrections and additions. If, like me, you enjoy Wells, this is a must read, even if you read the previous addition.

Wells writes with humor and wit, and with such an underlying sadness and reality you just get sucked right in. These two characters were smart and relatable. There was no misunderstanding and they resolved issues like adults. There wasn't a second that went by where I didn't root for them. These two deserved a happy ending. The daughter was adorable, and the secondary characters, Tom and Susannah, added to the story. The setting was detailed and researched. Most notable was this was a very dialog-driven plot that never lagged. Not to be missed.

Baby Oh Baby was a cute and funny romance. The book cover is sweet!!
After reading lots of similar romance stories, this was a bit refreshing plot. And i enjoyed the story line - Everyone knows how things are supposed to be-first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage. But, in this the order is entirely different with a baby first, marriage next and love at last!! I think the main character of the book was baby madeline...oh she was a sweetie pie..her scenes made me laugh all the time!
Annie and Jake were great characters. The subplot story of Tom and Susanna was also interesting. But, i don't know, when i started reading i was so interested in the book but after sometime it had started dragging! Each chapters were having lot of pages and because the story was shifting between the two couples, the continuing thread was missing at some parts. And also, the main problem i felt was... it took a long time for Jake to realize Annie was special almost till the end and i did not like it! But, otherwise it was a page-turner!!

A cute read. Reminded me of a cheesy lifetime movie. The MCs were kind of meh. The supporting characters' back story is where the drama came in!

[SamS · Rating 2 out of 5]

The dead ex hung up trope makes me peevish but I m okay with it as long as the character redeems themselves from the hung up and put the past behind and move forward.

I draw the line when the dead ex gets the centre stage in the story and the Hero refuses to wear a ring from the h because the only ring he will ever wear was from his first wife and he will not have a second one. That shucks dude, but you are an ass.

Nope. Just nope.

And I hate heroines suffering from a fits of doormatism to immediately empathise with the first woman and even excuse the H's lack of commitment and underhanded moves. I would definitely feel sorry for a young and beautiful woman to have lost her life without experience the joy of life to the fullest, but I wouldn't go ahead and cry for her. Lol no. I am a very big empath but I m not stupid.
Rachel was a career oriented woman and she had her life planned out every step of the way and was bullheaded enough to achieve those plans at all costs. We don't know if the inspiration to have a child was genuine inclination towards maternal tendencies which Annie clearly had, or was it just another goalpost she wanted to achieve in her picture perfect life, given how she did everything as planned with precision and like how she decorated the house and demotivated Jake to not use his carpentry skills because it didn't go with the decor. She didn't sound a woman who actually lived and enjoyed the life but more concerned woth achieving goals she has set and maintain appearances. Unfortunately having a baby was the only thing which didn't go her way. And the vehement pursuit to achieved that by trying all kinds of methods for years doesn't necessarily mean she wanted to be a mother and have a child to love and cherish but more like she wanted that milestone in her life as an ambition like any other success she has achieved in her career. She didn't sound like a warm, motherly woman. So empathising with her "empty womb" sounds overdramatic horshite to me.

And earlier in the book the H even confessed that anyone else beside his first wife will be second rate. Funfact is the h's first marriage was also where she was the second rate rebound to her husband. And now again, she is second rate choice to the H's oh so perfect Rachel. I mean, the h gets worst of both ends here and she's not even complaining about it. She settles for everything. She settled for her first husband and now settles for the H's half hearted second best affection. This woman is a sad case of doormatitis.

And the author was bored and out of content enough to give us two stories in a single book. We get a side dose of a second chance plot of the dead wife's parents. Although I appreciated the layered drama of everything going on, I could care less about the cheating middle aged old twat who was not man enough to support his wife during her depression. And again was not man enough to cooperate when she decided to seek help and fix their relationship.

The men in this book are wimps.

+1 for the angst tho.

I had such low expectations for this book and ended up loving it! This book starts with a bang when widower, Jake, goes into the fertility clinic he and his wife had been using because he keeps getting notifications about his sperm donation. He wasn't a donor so he's confused and wants it to stop and we find out that the doctor had basically sold his sperm to a woman wanting an anonymous sperm donor. The woman who used his sperm is named Annie and they now have a one year old little girl together! She is a rancher and he's a big city lawyer. He goes to see her and immediately threatens her which of course gets her heckles up. Then theres a big caretaking situation that brings them closer and they realize that maybe they're not enemies after all. I loved the idea of found family in this. Annie has no family left but has a great support system. Jake's parents died along with his wife but his former in laws still treat him like a son. We get a lot of their story too and I really enjoyed that. I really love the caretaking trope, I loved the little girl, and I love the depth that was wound into the story. This was a surprisingly great read!

[Seantheaussie · Rating 2 out of 5]

DNF at 62%. It was a pleasant 3 to 3.5 star read with no particular highs until the arranged marriage with intent to divorce but determination not to sleep with each other made me shake my head and give up. With all due respect, in their situation literally the first thing any functional human being would do, is ask themself, "Is he/she a remotely possible romantic partner?". This alternative course of action REALLY doesn't do it for me.

Baby, Oh Baby! by Robin Wells

This was a funny story.

The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict this story.

The hunk who appears on Annie's doorstep is a looker. The tall attorney's aura is clouded, and Annie can see that he's been suffering for some time. But all that's going to change, because two new people are going to come into his life. And Annie wonders who the lucky pair will be. Jake knows how things are supposed to be, and that doesn't include fertility clinic mix-ups or having fathered a child with a woman he's never met. And looking at the redhead who is the mother, Jake realizes he's missed out on something spectacular. But the woman believes her grandfather talks to her through roadside billboards! Still, he asks himself, is that any stranger than his sudden compulsion to woo her? Everyone knows how things are supposed to be—first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage. Maybe this time, things are going to happen a little differently.

Cerita parental accidentally ini memang tidak pernah mengecewakan. Tapi bukan seperti hubungan one night stand dengan unproctected relationship. Yang ini ide ceritanya dikarenakan infertile parental program. Banyak hal lucu disini. Karena sang hero yang berlatang belakang attornery kemudian heroinennya yang sedikit eksentrik behavior (bisa membaca keberuntungan karena ini tradisi budaya keluarga dan berbica dengan alm kakeknya lewat papan iklan) bisa dibayangkan perbedaan pandangan mereka. Jake yang selalu management, skeptis, lugas dan tidak percaya akan hal-hal di luar akal disandingkan dengan Anne yang intuitif, berjiwa bebas, penyayang binatang, dan selalu percaya akan kata-kata 'take your dreams and let them lead you', akan susah sekali tuk dicomparekan.

Tidak hanya hub Anne dan Jack disini yang diceritakan tapi juga hubungan mertua mereka. Ya well karena para tokoh disini pada kehilangan jati diri mereka sendiri semenjak meninggalnya Rachel. Jadi dengan kehadiran Anne dan Madelaine akan menjadi awal perubahan dalam diri Jack dan keluarganya. Dan kalian pasti akan suka dengan adegan pertemuan mereka.

synopsis:
jake donated sperm so that he and his wife could have a baby. when his wife died, his sperm was supposed to be destroyed. when he gets a letter several years later asking about his sperm, he heads to the fertility clinic to set them straight. once there, he finds out that not only wasn't it destroyed, it was used, jake is justifiably upset. when he meets annie and the baby that he has unknownly fathered, his life is altered forever. annie is trying to make ends meet on her property, but she doesn't regret the procedure that gave her her baby. when the biological father shows up, all she wants to do is run away and keep her baby safe.

what i liked: i liked the relationship between jake and his child. and even though it was cliche, the scene in the hospital when jake has to deal with his child and is bumbling and clueless made me laugh.

what i didn't like: the in-laws. it wasn't their daughter's child in any way shape or form, so i don't understand why they had to be involved.

"4.5 out of 5 stars!! SO SWEET!!! A man and woman's lives join when their baby is born but even more so for Jake and Annie, two people who conceived a child because of a sperm bank mix-up, who are complete opposites yet plan to do everything in their power to make a good life/family for their child. Even if that means accidentally falling in love!"

I didn't have high hopes for the book going in due to a string of crappy books I've read recently. Can I just say how awful and depressing reading slumps are! Anyway, I don't know if I can say that this book knocked the slump out of me, but I enjoyed it so much. I've never read anything by Robin Wells before… I love her writing style. This was a great escape read for me. I didn't force or rush it at all so it did take a bit to get through. Baby, Oh Baby is a dated book, but if you can look past that then I highly recommend it.

[JTM · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was so good, it is a keeper. The humor was consistent throughout the book along with romance and tension that most relations deal with. The secondary characters did not detract from the story and only enhanced it. The hospital waiting room scene with Jake and the little girl had me laughing out loud and unable to help it. The only thing that bugged me was that it took Jake a long time to realize that Annie was something special and that it was ok to move on, I wish that he could have spoken to her more about his feelings for her and proven that he loved her.
