The Would-Be Mommy by Jacqueline Diamond

The Would-Be Mommy is the first book in the Safe Harbor Medical series, and really sets the motion for the rest of the books.

From the moment he arrives at Safe Harbor Medical, Ian Martin is on infant overload. But the story he's covering gets a lot more interesting when the adventure-seeking reporter meets Jennifer Serra, an intriguing PR director who has created a stir by taking home one of the center's unwanted newborns!
Jennifer has always wanted a child of her own. Her dream becomes thrilling reality when she agrees to temporarily-- permanently?--be a mother to a sweet baby girl. Ian could complete the picture--Jennifer sees how easily he bonds with little Rosalie.
But just when she begins to look at Ian as potential father material, the dashing journalist dredges up a scandal from Jennifer's past that could jeopardize her plans for adoption...and for a future with Ian.

Jennifer Serra is the perfect main character. She harbors some deep secret and you can see the pain in her eyes when she talks to Ian about babies. Jennifer might have made some mistakes in her life, but those mistakes made her the person she is in the book. She also suffered from those mistakes, and had to live with the consequences of her actions.

Ian Martin strolls into Safe Harbor Medical Center and doesn't think twice about the way he interviewed Jennifer. He sees the pain in her eyes when talking about children, but that doesn't stop him, he pushes harder and harder. Unaware what outcome it will bring to not only Jennifer but to everyone. I enjoyed Ian's attitude and passion for his job, but more then that I loved the changes in him. He slowly starts to see the changes, but at the end is when it really hits him.

I loved The Would-Be Mommy. I loved watching Jennifer fall in love with the little baby Rosalie. Jacqueline does a wonderful job at having the past show itself again, but instead of taking away from the present day story, it only adds to it. The Would-Be Mommy is the perfect book for any romance readers, especially ones that enjoy a good medical romance read.
