Book Review: Baby I'm Yours (Angel Sands #5) by Carrie Elks

Genre: Small Town, Accidental Pregnancy Romance

    Two tiny lines that change everything…  
Doctor James Tanner is gorgeous, successful and decisively single. 

 He’s also a widower with a broken heart. 

 When he meets a beautiful woman on a fateful night out, their chemistry shocks him to the core.   

 Harper Hayes is irresistible. 

With her pink-tipped hair and tantalizing smile, she makes him forget all his pain.   

 One night together won’t hurt, will it? 

 One night to get her out of his system. 

 Then he’ll leave in the morning without a backward glance.

   But actions have consequences, and this one will change their lives forever. 

 And when Harper sees those two little lines she knows exactly what that means. 

 Now she just needs to find her baby’s father.   

 What a shame she doesn’t even know his name…

Favorite Quotes:




It was as though reality had run into the room and slapped him hard in the face.



Is that a pager? … I didn’t know anybody still used those; I thought they disappeared with rotary phones and conscription.



“I’m never going to have this baby,” Ember told her, gritting her teeth. “I’ll be the only pregnant woman carrying around a teenager in her stomach. They’ll put me on TV shows as a medical miracle.” “I should record this,” Ally said, unable to bite down a grin. “Then next time you think about getting pregnant I’ll bring it out and show you. It’ll be better than any contraceptive.”



You of all people should know it’s not where you’ve come from that matters, but where you’re going.



“And for the record, fairytales suck. You ever read a real one? Not the Disney version, but as they were originally written? In Cinderella, the ugly stepsisters chop off their feet and have their eyes pecked out. The Little Mermaid gets left by the prince and pines for him forever in the ocean.” Ember grimaced. “Seriously, don’t ever aim for the fairytale.”


My Review: 


Pregnancy is one of my least favorite tropes, but I didn’t seem to mind this one as the engaging storylines were cleverly amusing, well-paced, insightfully written, and plumbed all the feels. While I haven’t read them all, I have thoroughly enjoyed every book I’ve ever picked up from this perceptive wordsmith. So, of course, being the greedy book hoarder that I am, I now covet them all.
