One Night, One Unexpected Miracle by Caroline Anderson is the second book in The Hope's Children Hospital series. Although it can totally by read by following the series it can be read as a standalone as well. In this story a one night stand leaves Alice and Marco with more than the bargained for to deal with. Even though they have chemistry off the charts they also need to deal with the fact that she is his boss.

I understand Alice believing she can’t have a child ever do to a medical condition. Been there done that. So, for those who think the miracle can’t be oh yes it can. Mine is now almost 18 and we had her almost twenty-one and a half years into our marriage and three adoptive children later.

So, when she and her crush Marco her equal and yes technically her subordinate get together it is not impossible to believe that they also produce this miracle. Their sexual chemistry makes them all the more suited for each other. Being that each had been engaged before they met and being hurt didn’t make it any easy for them.

They are both pediatric surgeons skilled at their jobs but not at communication. Being that they have both been attracted to each other since day one. It makes it harder not to allow the tension to mount. So, they use their banter to come out by teasing about each other’s egos. For the most part it has been harmless but on this not so much.

This day it got out of hand and became more personal. It just so happened it was on the day of the big hospital fundraiser. At the event when Marco sees Alice his boss, he nearly loses his teeth she is so breathtaking. For it almost covers her sleek stealth body that he knows she cares for like a machine.

He knows he needs to talk to her and make his amends for not giving her the respect she deserves. He walks to her and asks her to dance. At which time he says he’s sorry for taking the teasing too far. When his closeness and his sexual essence gets to her overwhelming her senses, she says she needs air. Leaving him standing on the dance floor.

Marco follows her out and rides the elevator down she’s not happy because her temp is running higher due to his closeness from the dance. They ended up in one of the procedure rooms together to talk before leaving to go home when their sexual attraction gets the better of them both. It was fast, hot, and so worth it to them both.

Then reality hits Alice like a sledgehammer. She panics because one she is his boss. Two, her last relationship castrated her due to her illness. As much as she wants Marco and she does want him so much it aches. She knows reality always comes after one and down. But she does it anyway. Six weeks later the surprise of her life occurs.

Now comes her struggling with “could it be, ‘Does he want me for me or just for the baby I carry?’ All real fears but she goes back and forth a lot it did start to be much at times.

My only problem with the story is that when he knows how fragile is emotional she is that he does several things that any other woman would have said, “Oh Hell No!” So, here we go her fears about going to his parent’s vineyard that he just doesn’t seem to take as real…

A.) His family, finding out she’s pregnant.

B.) His family, finding out she doesn’t speak any Italian.

But when his family does find out about her being pregnant, he runs after his ex-leaving her behind with is Italian speaking family. Why would he do that? I mean the whole book in his head he keeps letting the reader know he loves her yet goes after the ex?

She can’t understand why so she figures why am I here. So, she packs and leaves. Whatever the case now this is what Alice thinks. Why or how does he think this is a good idea at all? You will have to read to find out but it was a surprise to me.

At any rate, I am giving this: 4 stars. Provided by netgalley.com. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com.

Alice never is a pediatric surgeon who had just one night with her colleague Marco Ricci and never expected anything out of it. Imagine her surprised when she ended up pregnant after for so long believed to be infertile but she has a condition that can threaten the existence of the growing baby. Having the break the news to Marco they have to figure things out.

I've read many books like this and this book managed to have its unique twists around here and there to make this book an enjoyable read. I liked the characters and getting to know them and their family. Theres not much I can say about this book without spoiling it so I'm just going to leave the review here. Just know that its a pretty good book and I really enjoyed it.

What I enjoy about Harlequin Romance stories is that I can choose a specific genre and I will know what I'm going to get. The sub genres within the Harlequin Romance series are specific, as in the case of Caroline Anderson's Harlequin Medical Romance, One Night, One Unexpected Miracle.

With the return of fall TV, so is the return of many of my favorite shows to watch (medical shows!). And when I saw this title pop up on my radar, I had to read it.

Alice and Marco's relationship goes from 0-100 instantly. Despite her higher position in the hospital, or that they are coworkers, spontaneity and fireworks happen. While some may think it is uncalled for and not a thing, the relationship between these two were what you want from a quick romance: hot and heavy in a short period of time. But on the opposite side of the spectrum, I missed the courtship, the slow friends to lovers time period, and other things that one would get in a longer book.

So when you read these titles? Know what you're getting into. It will make for a much nicer reading experience.

I enjoyed One Night, One Unexpected Miracle, and would be interested to read more in this series.

*Thank you to the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.*

Catherine Anderson has crafted an exciting book. Alice and Marco have a chemistry that sparks off the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of reading this book. It faintly feels like a popular medical drama from television with an emphasis on just one couple. I would have liked to see more interaction between the secondary characters but each book in the series is written by a different author.
I need to find the other titles in the Hope Children's Hospital series.

I went in wanting to fall in love with this book especially because the cover is adorable, however it felt like it was lacking emotion and connection between the two main characters. I barley was able to finish it because I lost interest about 1/2 way in. If the chemistry was better maybe it could have been hopeful.
