Summary: The Night Before Baby
Review: Olivia, a virgin until the night of her company's Christmas Eve party, has a one-night stand with her co-worker, Lucas. Lucas, a foster child, has bad memories of never having his parents around. He wants to marry Olivia to give the baby a stable home. Olivia wonders about a marriage for the baby's sake, so they agree to live as roommates, to see if they're compatible. Lucas suspects that Olivia has unrequited feelings for her boss, so he feels threatened by the relationship she has with her mentor. Lucas also wants Oliva to quit her job to stay at home and take care of the baby. By the end of the book, both people learn to overcome their fears of marriage and relationships, and to fall in love. This book was a somewhat nice, emotional read, and the writing was done well. I'd recommend this for those who love a nice, light romantic book.

Summary: A marriage agreement leads to a lifetime of love!
Review: THE NIGHT BEFORE BABY is Book 2 in the first-ever continuity series for Silhouette Romance entitled Loving the boss, a series about six friends who work for a corporation in Phoenix. It received 4* from ROMANTIC TIMES magazine and RENDEZVOUS says: "An interesting, compelling twist on a tried and true plot that hooks readers from the first page. Filled with smart dialogue, complex characters and lots of emtion, this story deserves a prominent spot on the keeper shelf." Olivia McGovern had planned her future. She intended to pass the bar exam and marry her stable, dependable mentor--her boss. But on the night of the office Christmas party she kissed Lucas Hunter, the sexy lawyer down the hall, and the passionate interlude that followed changed her life. When Olivia discovers she is pregnant and tells Lucas, he asks her to marry him. After a compatability test of living together for a few weeks, they fly to Las Vegas for the ceremony. Lucas believes Olivia is marrying him for security but thinks she still has feelings for her boss. Olivia is determined to convince Lucas to believe in love instead of simply desire and the need for an alliance because of their child. An orphan, Lucas feels he owes the foster parents who gave him a home at their ranch. Many weekends he returns there to mentor the boys they now care for. To his suprise, Olivia fits right in. But when he returns from a business trip and discovers she fell and turned to her boss for help, he angrily storms out. Through a confrontation with Olivia's boss, Lucas discovers Olivia thinks he married her simply for their child's sake. He realizes he does believe in love and is determined to convince her that if she'll forgive his doubts, he'll love her for the rest of their lives. I hope readers enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Summary: Sparks ignite at the office Christmas party.
Review: When pretty paralegal Olivia McGovern and sexy Lucas Hunter find themselves alone for the holidays, a harmless kiss under the mistletoe leads to a one-night stand and an unplanned pregnancy. Lucas proposes marriage. But Olivia knows that marriage requires compatibility in all rooms of the house, not just the bedroom. Lucas, who was orphaned at an early age and has always yearned for family, suggests living together first--platonically. He wants his child to grow up with two parents. But with intimate knowledge of each other and non-stop sexual tension, their frustrations skyrocket. Complicated by Lucas's belief that Olivia is in love with her boss, and Olivia's fear that Lucas only wants her for the baby's sake--when she loves him--the couple face a rocky road that can only be smoothed by trust. This is a warm, fast-paced story with sparkling dialogue and characters you can really root for. One of Ms. Smith's best!
