Those Baby Blues

Summary: Weak and shallow.
Review: After reading the rest od her books, I have to say this book was not up to the standards of the rest of the books. It was rather shallow and then silly. It started out OK, a pretty wild plot about baby switching, but hey, I can take the odd, far reaching stories, as long as they are good. I have a pretty good imagination and read all kinds of books, paranormal included, so even though this was a really far fetched plot, I figured it would be good. I know how believable a plot is does not make a good book. Its the story. Everything all together. The problem is there is nothing to hold this story together. No bonding, emotion, love nada. The girls are cute. The body guard was a thorn in MY side. He really got to me. There is just no depth to the story what so ever. Its not a light read, its an empty read. I like light reads too, that is what I figured this was. But like I said, it was empty. Glad I have not run into anymore like this one. I hope this is the only bad apple there is.

Summary: deeply ardent tale of love
Review: Her former husband Jim Leigh demanded DNA testing of their child though Hadleigh Charmaine has never had any other lover. The test result shocks them when Dr. Manubay informs them that neither one are the biological parents of Samantha. Jim wants to sue the hospital for giving them the wrong baby while Hadleigh wants the nightmare to go away as she loves the child that she has raised by herself. Dr. Manubay tells them that he must report the mistake to County central Hospital.

Hollywood star Treet Miller loves his daughter whom he has raised by himself. Her "mother" Cheyenne Windsor wanted nothing to do with the baby, vowing that Treet would not get her either. When he learns the news Treet, like Hadleigh, refuses to give up the child he raised alone, but has a need to meet his biological offspring. As the adults struggle with the switch, they fall in love, but Hadleigh remembers the portrait Cheyenne painted of Treet. Adding to the confusion is that Cheyenne has returned stirring up further misconceptions.

The writing team of Sheridon Smythe avoids clichés while relating a tale of love on several levels within a story line that grips the reader as soon as Dr. Manubay announces the DNA results though why Jim insisted on the test is beyond the comprehension of this reviewer. The lead couple and their children are delightful cast members, but neither one of their former partners contains a redeeming characteristic. Still THOSE BABY BLUES provides the audience with a deeply ardent tale of love.

Summary: A decent read for Summmer
Review: I pickup up "Those Baby Blues" based on what I had read on the back cover. By half way through the book, I have admitt that I was disappointed in the book. The beginning started out well, but ending of the book seemed a bit unrealistic. Neither of the main characters ever showed deep emotions to the situration that brought them together. Also it seem that the writer wanted to end the book without finishing up the storyline. Overall, "Those Baby Blues" is a decent book if you are looking light read.

Summary: Those Baby Blues didn't charm me :(
Review: I started this while at the drive-in last this past summer and breezed through the first few chapters surprised at how good it was despite the terrible setup (the heroine gives birth in the first chapter & there's some baby switching thing that happens only in a romantic comedy). Unfortunately, the story got caught in that classic old rut of "I want you but I'm not sure that I even like you!" and I quickly got bored.

Anyway, the movie star hero with the "baby blues" is named Treet. How cute. And Treet's big burly bodyguard is cleverly named Brutal. It's here that I begin to whimper. Anyway, Treet, our oh-so-fine looking movie star hero is a loving father whose baby was involved in the big baby mix-up. But he doesn't know it until the heroine comes into his life quite a few years later.

This causes a big upheaval in both of their lives since they love their girls' and do not want to break up their families. The solution? Move into Clint Eastwood's ranch so they can all get to know each other and become one great big smiling, happy family. Can you imagine? But things don't go quite as smoothly as Big Blue Eyes intended because of Hayleigh's foul temper and penchant for flying off the handle with the littlest provocation. But somehow they manage to fall deep in commonplace lust that they mistake for everlasting love.

Me and my limited store of patience did not enjoy this book. The plot was highly improbable, the characters generally self-centered and/or unlikable and the humor fell flat. On the plus side the book was written in an easy to read style and the pages did zip by. Still, I was left feeling nearly as grouchy as the heroine when I turned the last page.

Summary: Well written and funny
Review: This is the story of babies being switched at birth and the resulting confusion for all when the switch is discovered. Sheridan Smythe takes us through this experience, which is made even greater by the fact that the father in this story is a drop dead handsome actor, with her characteristic humor. I would definitely consider this book a must buy.
