Whilst I have come to expect certain things when I pick up one of Harlequin Medical Romance titles,, once in a while, I find a special book that takes to the next level. Their One Night Baby may be about an accidental pregnancy but there is so much more to this story.

Victoria Christie is a no nonsense paramedic. She doesn’t have time for relationships. She is married to the job and Paddington Children’s Hospital holds a special place for her. She doesn’t have time for Doctors like Dominic MacBride who she buts heads with, she os more worried trying to save Paddington which is under the threat of closure and her patients .

Dominic is a recent addition to staff but even so he can see the vital job that the hospital does and thrown his help in but with little noise being made at the moment . It seems like that nothing is happening. However for Dominic it is a escape from the troubles he left in Scotland , a broken heart and betrayal.

Slowly things start to change for these two and we see a change in heart slowly but surely. As the days goes by but their problems still lay there. We as readers wonder made Dominic become this man and have these scars.. He wears them like a badge and sore about them. Luckily it isn’t to o long as Victoria has gotten under his skin.

Until things reached boiling point with tensions , high , a one night stand happens and they go back to their usual cheerful selves but the memories are there and there is permanent reminder from that night.

Victoria is pregnant

Once Victoria is pregnant is really where the book starts to shine. Dominic is hurting and Victoria ‘sannouncement is is a breaking point for the both of them. Victoria may be an adult and able to be independent but she still craves for certain things from her father . I loved that Dominic handle her problems beautiful and she did for him. As poor Dominic was carrying a lot and it was hard not to fall fore this surelish doctor. As there was more to him . I t was easy to see that he had potential and need someone like Victoria

Someone who offered him hope and opened up his weary hear and show the possibilities out there . It was a beautiful story and one that has become an instant favourite and will be re-read

Carol Marinelli writes Medicals that have you turning each page with awe. The depth of writing and the emotional investiment put into each character is top class and I think as per every other CM story I have read, this is no exception.

Carol Marinelli kicks off the new Paddington Children's Hospital series with a surprise baby! The connection between the characters is rather innocent at first. They hint at fireworks and passionate fights, but we come in on a slight disagreement and notice a little attraction. Opportunity leads to a one-time fling, and then SURPRISE! ... they're pregnant! :) I'm looking forward to the future books in the series because this hospital was fun to read about!

London paramedic Victoria Chase loves her job and does it well. She could do without the criticism of the new A & E doc, but such is life! She does have to admit to appreciating his hotness though ... and that accent!

Dr. Dominic MacBride fled his home in Edinburgh to get away from some family drama and betrayal, but unfortunately he still carries the pain with him. He knows he's been a bear and sets out to apologize to Victoria. One thing leads to another and they have a one-night fling. Imagine their surprise when they find out they have a baby on the way! Due to some of that past betrayal, it makes for an awkward situation that they have to find a way to work through. Will they each be able to let down their guard enough to let the other one in and actually enjoy a relationship out of this?
