His Baby Surprise

by Lisa Childs

An injury takes professional hockey player Brooks Hoover off the ice and back to his Michigan hometown to recuperate and map out his future... which wasn't supposed to include fatherhood! It isn't every day a man finds a baby on his doorstep. A baby who just might be his.And that's not his only surprise....

In high school, Priscilla Andrews was a prim and proper sort of girl, but now she's all grown up--definitely his type of woman. She's also Brooks's new boss! Between coaching the high school hockey team, caring for an abandoned infant and sharing domestic duties with the alluring assistant principal, Brooks is starting to think he's more of a family-man type than a big-time sports star.

But is a man who's used to the limelight ready to settle down?

Fine. Good story. Surface-level narrative. Not Lisa Child's best worst. Will not reread.

I am really bad about reading these books, I seem to read them even though I know I do not need too. So I started this book yesterday and finished it early this morning. To me they are all the same story line just about but I do love the family moments between Brooks (the oldest of three boys) and his two younger brothers. They seem to know every bad thing he did growing up and use it against him as he is their new coach and all about the "Do as I say, Not as I do" aspect of teaching kids.

His Baby Surprise by Lisa Childs is another fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited time for reading. Ms Childs has loaded her book with amazing characters, the best part of the book. Pris and Brooks' story is fast paced and well written. There's plenty of drama, humor and steamy bits to entertain the reader. His Baby Surprise was a pleasure to read and I look forward to reading more from Lisa Childs in the future. His Baby Surprise is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I purchased a copy of this book at a reader event.

This was pretty good. I found it somewhat but not entirely predictable, and I liked the character development for the hero & heroine. Their attraction to each other was believable, but not particularly intense. I would've liked it more with more about the ice hockey, I think. Oh, and (always!) more "I hate you! No I love you! No I hate you! Mmmmphkisskisskiss!" Cheesy? Yes. Overdone? Impossible. :)

I liked this story a bunch. The hero is an injured hockey player whose come home to rehab. His dad railroads him into taking the job of hockey coach. The heroine is his boss, a school administrator, who isn't impressed by dumb jocks. I liked Childs's character building, the coaching aspects--it was all nicely done. Good REad.
