The Babe Magnet

Summary: Robin at her absolute best
Review: I began reading The Babe Magnet early in the morning of a day in which I had a full agenda, but I eventually sacrificed everything I had planned because I couldn't put the book down.

The plot is ingenious. And, of course, Robin really knows her babies and thus has created one of the most likeable baby characters you'll ever read about.

I liked the intricate plot elements that all came together at the end of the story. The secondary characters are well developed and lovable and almost comprise stories of their own.

This book brought tears of joy and tears of sorrow to my eyes. It is truly a comedy in every sense of the word. The whole time I was reading Babe Magnet, I kept thinking: this would make a great movie.

I also enjoyed reading about all the famous New Orleans locales, such as: Café du Monde, Jackson Square, Commander's Palace, Tulane University, Windsor Court Hotel, Aquarium of the Americas, Arnaud's Restaurant, Lake Pontchartrain, and St Charles Avenue, to mention only a few. Robin's eloquent manner of expression is tops in Babe Magnet. Witness the passage: "...the twenty-story vantage point of his Canal Street office gave an unobstructed view of the Mississippi River's crescent curve at the foot of the French Quarter".

Babe Magnet is a great book. Anyone reading it would love it and would be glad they had read it. Don't let another day go by without reading Babe Magnet. I recommend it very highly.

Summary: Opposites Attract!
Review: I enjoyed this book a lot. The characters were likeable, the kind the reader loves to care about, and the plot had me eagerly longing to see how things would turn out for this unique family. If you enjoy an entertaining romance that's more than mere romance then you won't want to miss, "The Babe Magnet," by entertaining writer, Robin Wells. (Highly Recommended!)

Summary: alrite. nothing to rave about.
Review: Its a good premise but way toooooo many holes in the story. The hero *stalks* the herione, takes way too long to taking responsibility for the child, and I just find it hard to believe that any woman who wants to have a child ( and I can relate to having the child part) will agree to such a silly premise with a guy she knows nothing about.

Summary: I love this author
Review: Robin Wells has written another winner. She writes about such likable people, the only thing I didn't like about the book was that it had to end! One of the things I really love about her style is that the secondary charactors are just as interesting as the main charactors. She really makes you care about the little baby in the book and you can understand why Stevie, the female love interest would chuck everything to help take care of her. I am a long-time fan.

Summary: intriguing contemporary romance
Review: The call from a Dallas police officer informed Holt Landen that not only had Ella Sinclair died in a car crash, but the heiress named him as the father of her child. He barely remembers the flighty woman he had a one night stand with in Aspen, but the DNA proves he is also the father of a six month old child Isabelle with her. Holt leaves New Orleans to pick up his daughter only to learn that his daughter suffers from Attachment Disorder.

Holt is desperate for help so when Isabelle stops crying while hearing New Orleans radio parenting advice show host Stevie Stedquest speak on the radio, he offers the childless Stevie a deal. They wed in a marriage of convenience in which she provides Isabelle with proper loving nurturing and she has that child she wants to raise. However, Stevie and Holt are opposites in every foreseeable way except that Isabel has hooked both of them. Now can the baby play matchmaker when neither of the two adults wants the other though love has blossomed between Stevie and Holt.

THE BABE MAGNET is an intriguing contemporary romance even with using the Stone Age gimmick of a marriage of convenience and a traumatized baby to bring the lead couple together. Though obviously opposites, Holt and Stevie are caring people, who readers will like since both try to do the right thing for Isabelle. However, the infant owns the show as she is unable to allow anyone to reach out to the darkness with love that is until her daddy and her new mommy shower her with affection because everybody needs hugs.
