Jack's Baby

Wow, I so didn't see in this what everyone else seemed to. The writing style was choppy and distracting. The baby was written as way too old. A few cases in point: a one week old nursing baby's messy diaper doesn't stink. By that point they are barely making messy diapers and not to be too graphic but it isn't the same sort of end result as a 6 month old baby who has started some solid food makes. Another thing: the baby responds by imitating the sounds her father makes during that 1st or 2nd week and watches everything with interest. Right...

The hero and heroine seemed one dimensional and I totally did not feel any love between them other than the author telling me they were in love. Plus for a story all about who loves the baby best, show more there was a whole lot of leaving the baby in her carrier rather than holding her. For example it was just odd that when they brought the baby home from the hospital the first time the heroine, who was so anxious that the baby be loved, went in to make tea since she wasn't needed to put the baby in bed. WTF? I know from personal experience that new mothers are pretty damn proprietary about their newborns. Add in that she would want to see the baby in the crib and all that she evidently had lovingly picked out and set up for her and she let the hero whom she didn't trust to care about the child go set her down in the bedroom in her car carrier? What...? show less
