The Marrying MacAllister : The Baby Bet: MacAllisters Gifts

Rating:
Summary: Four Stars
Review: Due to a mix up Caitlin Cunningham is forced to chose between twin baby girls. Unable to chose she decides to adopt both of them but can only take both home if she's married. Matt MacAllister steps into help. Caitlin realizes the marriage solves the problem for the babies but not her own. Although she's falling for Matt, Caitlin has reservations about being married to someone who works at a hospital because her father who was a doctor was never around. Matt feels he's never excelled like the rest of his family so he pushes himself to be the best.
I liked the story a lot but my only slight problem was that although Matt comes to realize being normal is okay with him and that he needs to balance his professional life with his personal Caitlin never resolves her problem because Matt ends up quitting his job.
Caitlin automatically assumes he'll be married to his work without once giving him a chance. I would of liked to see her figure out that even though her father wasn't around much that he still loved her or other ways her father showed his love. Or realize that even though Matt's hardworking he'll still have plenty of time to be husband and father.
I felt that by quitting his job they were avoiding never having Caitlin overcome her problem like they did with Matt.

Miniseries: The Baby Bet: MacAllister's Gifts

Caitlin Cunningham was about to make the most heart-wrenching decision of her life. Thanks to a bureaucratic mix-up at the Chinese orphanage, this fiercely independent single mom had to choose between two orphaned sisters. The situation seemed hopeless. Until another solution presented itself - marrying fellow traveler Matt MacAllister!

The temporary marriage was supposed to solve her dilemma, but it left Caitlin more conflicted than ever. A man as driven by his work as Matt MacAllister could never be a family man. And yet his kisses and quiet strength told Caitlin that Matt was a man worth fighting for. Could she now make Matt see that he'd never find fulfillment...without her by his side?
