First read my Ms. Kendall and it won't be the last! I enjoyed this book a lot! The fake dating really set the bar high for me. I felt a connection with the main characters and how they didn't get along at first but over time fell in love!

This story exceeded all my expectations. We open with a couple arguing before they find out the paternity results of their child they conceived by surrogate. Turns out the baby is obviously part black and both parents are white. While the father loves his daughter and is committed to being her dad no matter the results, the mother does not feel the same. Turns out the child is his, but not hers. Enter the real mother, Whitney. She is a pop superstar and had harvested and frozen her eggs so she had options later in life. So when she gets a call that not only were her eggs used by mistake, but that a baby already existed. Now she has some big decisions to make, but first, she wants to meet her child.

I loved everything about this book. Myles choosing his daughter over his obviously crappy wife was so amazing. I loved how he loved his daughter, even though I didn’t always love the decisions he was making to keep her with him. Whitney and Myles had a very unconventional start but they both were instantly committed to their daughter. This book was a bit different than I expected but in the best ways. Worth a read.

Thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

this one was interesting. the whole premise is definitely one in a million.
I wanted more character development in the sense that it just felt like they all of a sudden were together and we missed a lot of their conversations

also i coulda done without the twist with his ex wife

Unfortunately I did not like this read that much. While I thought the premise was interesting and kind of new... the execution was a little shotty. The author focused on unnecessary things and introduced alot of characters in the beginning which caused just slight confusion. Beyond the unrealistic part of the book, I did not feel the chemistry between the FMC and MMC.

Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing & NetGalley for this e-arc.

I was excited to read this one because of its interesting premise. I rooted for them as soon as they began their romantic relationship. Nevertheless, I thought the novel was beautifully written, and I liked reading it. A little more character development would have been nice. This book was enjoyable to me. Simply put, One in a Million is a story of maturation, accountability, and discovering love in the most unlikely of situations. While keeping a lighthearted, enjoyable tone, the book covers the demands of celebrity, the challenges of unexpected parenting, and the messy process of self-discovery.

This book was alittle different from what I am used to in terms of reading books. This book follows the main FMC Whitney and the MMC Myles as they navigate each other through a fertility mix-up. While I enjoyed the banter between the MMC and the main FMC, the romance felt a little rushed and not quite convincing especially since Whitney seems to have her whole life together and the the MMC was going through it with his wife. I understand that the unbelieveable birth of their daugher made them closer together, but the age gap was also a little different especially with the book cover seeming as though they are both younger. Overall, I would recommend it to other women because it did have a good drama filled plot. It just was not particularly for me, but I can see how it can be for other people.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this ARC.
This book was an absolute banger! It was giving Jane the Virgin meets a modern Hollywood star. It starts off similar to Jane the Virgin with the mistake happening with artificial insemination. However, they used someone else’s egg (our main character) to create a baby with the MMC’s sperm. From there a divorce, a budding relationship, and a beautiful coparenting relationship between our two main characters. This was definitely messy but the way they handled it together was so beautiful to see and I loved that the author took time to really develop their relationship. I’d definitely give it a read and I’d love to read more from this author!

This was so good! Like I have no words how to explain this surprise baby had me hooked since chapter one. The tension between these two was just chef's kiss. I loved everything in this and I have no other ways but love love love love love.

Readers who enjoy stories that delve into the complexities of human relationships and the intricacies of family life, all while maintaining a lighthearted and humorous tone, will be captivated by this book. If you're drawn to characters who navigate unconventional family structures and grapple with high-stakes personal choices, then this book is tailor-made for you. Prepare to be swept away by a heartwarming and witty narrative that explores the depths of emotion and the power of resilience in the face of life's challenges.

A wild fertility clinic mix-up brings a celebrity and a lawyer together as unexpected co-parents. The plot was unique, though the chemistry didn’t fully land for me. Still, a fun and twisty read—thanks for the ARC!

I love celebrity stories and the tension in this story had me hooked! Unfortunately I’m not a baby trope girl. So it wasn’t my favorite.

Still I believe the story was written well and I had a good time reading it. I would’ve liked to see a bit more character development but all in all not a bad story.

The premise for this one is we good and I was excited to read. I liked Whitney a lot and her relationship with Haylee was so endearing and amazing to see. Myles irritated me a lot in the beginning. He was too hostile and possessive with the baby. He acted as if what happened only happened to him instead of to him and Whitney. Once they started their romantic relationship, I was rooting for them. Once Myles got over himself, he was quick to admit when he was wrong and I loved how they dealt with things like adults. I enjoyed this book.

I didn't know what to expect with this book but for a baby trope I was NOT expecting that storyline. Nonetheless, I was very much intrigued from the very beginning. The plot is filled with drama and love with a little bit of sassiness.

The only downside for me was trying to keep up with all the different characters that were introduced. Not sure if this book is apart of a series or interconnected world amongst other books, but it was alot.

I wasn't 100% sold on the twist at the end, but overall this was an ok read.

I don’t think this is a bad book, but I also don’t think this is a book for me. World-famous Whitney, felt one-dimensional. She had the makings of a multi-hyphenated star, but read as a diet version of one. Myles, the love interest, did not add much to the story. There was never a point in the story where I felt compelled to root for this pair or care about the weird situation they were in.

4 stars.

Beverley Kendall's "One in a Million" does not feature the kind of tropes I typically go for (surprise pregnancy, uber-rich people romances), but the "Jane the Virgin"-esque premise had me intrigued. I am glad I took a chance on this book because I really liked it! I found myself hooked on the journey of the characters, Whitney and Myles, and how they wound up father and mother to a child because of a mishap at the fertility clinic they were both using. Whitney is an uber-famous Beyonce-type of mega-celebrity who froze her eggs because of a medical condition, and Myles is a high-powered attorney who is about to get a divorce. Her egg wound up with his sp3rm and voilà, they have a baby together. At first, Myles is wary of letting Whitney near the baby because she could drown him in litigation due to her financial status and popularity, but eventually comes around because he realizes that his daughter needs her mother. This forced proximity puts them in each other's orbits more and more, leading them to get closer and closer over the months. A LOT of bad crap goes on between and to Myles and Whitney, both separately and apart. This book has a lot of drama in it, almost like a soap opera. It is one of those plots that could only work in a romance novel, never in real life! I liked watching Whitney's growth as a character as she transitions from pop star with her life all mapped out to neq mother to a young baby. Myles makes some strides as a person, too, though takes a lot longer for him to come around. Their chemistry with one another is undeniable and very sexy! All in all, I liked this book and will definitely go back to read the first in this series! Finally, I LOVED Simone Lewis's audiobook narration. She is one of my favorite narrators, her diction is so clean and clear, and she brings such a tremendous spirit into the characters she voices.

Thank you to NetGalley, Beverley Kendall, and Harlequin Audio for the complimentary ALC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.

One in a Million was definitely an interesting book that I haven’t read before with this kind of plot. Whitney is a celebrity on the go that is very famous & almost has it all in life. Myles is a lawyer that’s killing it at his firm but his home life is an absolute mess. After a crazy mix up at the fertility clinic they find out that his wife is not the mother to his babygirl & the superstar Whitney is. His wife wants no parts & so this when Myles & Whitney’s paths cross. Although this plot was interesting the character development wasn’t quite there for me & so I didn’t feel the chemistry as much between these two. I don’t mind InstaLove but this wasn’t that since the two didn’t care too much for each other at first. In spite of all that I still thought it was an interesting spin on this story & a fun read. Thankful for this complimentary copy for my honest review.

ARC Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️

Thank you to Harlenquin Trade Publishing and Beverley Kendall for the ARC of One in a Million! This was an enjoyable read that combines romance with a celebrity twist.

The story follows Whitney, a famous celeb who unexpectedly finds herself raising a child due to a fertility mix-up. As the romance between her and Myles unfolds, things move quickly, and while their connection is fun, it feels a bit rushed at times.

One in a Million is out now!

One in a Million was an incredibly unique storyline that takes the surprise baby trope and turns it around into a fun twist. This was definitely entertaining!

I feel like this book will really appear to many romance readers who enjoy a surprise pregnancy trope. This book read like a movie to me. I could definitely see this being a Netflix movie soon. I enjoyed both characters Whitney & Myles, but their connection seemed so forced and then boom, and outside mediation and everything is fine. I enjoyed the uniqueness of the plot because of how it’s a fertility clinic mixup which doesn’t show up in books often but the writing wasn’t 5 star worthy for me. Still and 4 stars however I’d love to read more books by this author.

Not a bad book just did not like the format way it was presented and the writing was a little juvenile
