A perfect romance for readers who enjoy Hallmark movies. Low risk, mild spice, nothing taboo or dark. This was a book filled with sunshine. Defiantly an unique story.

This book took a pretty heavy topic and put somewhat of a fun and exciting twist on it.

How on earth are two people supposed to co-parent a child when they had never met before?

Whitney is a famous singer/actress/entrepreneur that had froze her eggs because she has had some reproductive issues in the past and wants to be able to have kids when the time is right.

Myles and his wife Holly used a surrogate to have their first child as husband and wife. When the baby comes out as mixed race this couple immediately knows that something happened as they are both very white. Soon they realize that the fertility clinic made a mistake and used Whitney's eggs rather than Hollys. Holly shows her true colors and leaves immediately, divorcing Myles and leaving him as a single father.

This dynamic was so well done. I loved watching Whitney and Myles' relationship develop over the course of this story while doing everything in reverse order. I really enjoyed watching them navigate this complex situation and their chemistry was electric right from the start.

Strangers with a baby together, to strong dislike from not understanding each other, to friends with benefits, to lovers was a dynamic I didn't know I needed in a story but I really enjoyed it.

I will say that this book did have some pacing issues. I did devour this story in a single sitting, but the second half was a little harder to get through than the first half. There was some very mild spice (probably a 1/5 on my spice scale), and while the spice wasn't my favorite I also felt like this book wasn't lacking in that department as it didn't really need it.

I received an ALC as well as an ARC and I think this audiobook was really well done. I tandem read this book but I would definitely recommend reading this one with your ears! The audiobook helped me some with the pacing issues so I feel like that is the ideal way to read this is you are able.

A new kind of accidental pregnancy / child story told in a beautiful and thoughtful way! One in a Million was such a quick read, rich with emotion, and satisfying on the romance front too. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

I listened to the audiobook for this one, and I thought the narrator did a great job portraying both sides of the story. There was one narrator to voice both characters being that this book does take place in dual point of views.

Overall, I enjoyed the story. I thought it was very entertaining. A mishap at fertility clinic leads two peoples lives to be completely disjointed, and the forced proximity is real.

I love the female main character. She was strong, sweet, lovable, and even though she was from money, she was down to earth. I also loved the MMC. I thought he was perfect. I love a good single father trope done properly.

The parts that kind of threw me were the spice. I have an ick when it comes to certain spice phrases and the first spice scene between the two main characters, kinda had me cringe. If the spice is in a book and is IMO a bit ick, it will effect my rating. The reason being because it throws me out of the story. I also didn’t like how the female main character was presented to be very understanding and then one small situation made her change her character.

Overall, I thought this book was a good contemporary romance. I loved the diversity and the family values. I would recommend this book people who love, the pregnancy trope and single father trope.

I was not expecting to love this as much as I did. A surprise baby storyline with a twist. I’m also grateful that the FMC is a billionaire Black woman and she has her priorities in the right place. With lawsuits and paparazzi, it was a lot but I did appreciate the romance even though it seems rushed at time. I feel like the tension was a bit forced but I didn’t mind because they had satisfying spicy scenes and great dialogue. I would recommend this book.

The premise for this book had me so intrigued and it absolutely delivered on the intrigue. The title was perfect for how unbelievable the situation seems it would be, and yet the way it unfolded ended up being beautiful.

I did an audio/ebook read for this one. I enjoyed the narrator for the audiobook. Simone Lewis did a great job with her performance. I don’t love a dual POV book with only one narrator, but it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story.

The story itself was one with an incredulous concept of a fertility clinic mix-up leaving two strangers as coparents, Myles who planned to be raising the baby with his wife and Whitney who had frozen her eggs for a time in the future when she was ready to parent. It could have been written is an almost satirical, zany way, but it was done with such care and nuance, especially when it came to Haylee being a biracial child. It was important for Whitney to know her daughter would know and find acceptance in all parts of her heritage and ancestry whether Whitney herself had a role in raising her, but it was nice that Myles knew he would need to be conscious of and make a concerted effort to nurture all of Haylee’s even if he was on his own.

As a romance novel, it wasn’t a surprise that Whitney and Myles found more in each than they expected while navigating their unexpected path together. They had a spark that could be felt even as they were both skeptical of the other. They also had great chemistry once they gave into the urges they felt around each other. I do wish the turning point had been from
Myles’s POV because he was the more hesitant of the two and I wanted to be in his mind when he allowed the shift to happen.

There was a good amount of time with Whitney and Myles getting to know each other and figuring out their co-parenting strategy. However, with the many outside factors that impacted their journey, it felt like there a ton of plot crammed into the last 25-30% of the book. So much of what was happening to and around them seemed to culminate at the same time. That said, without spoilers, the way the story ended really worked well for me and I was happy with it.

Thank you to NetGalley, Graydon House, and Harlequin Audio for the eARC and ALC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun interracial dual POV romance between Miles, a single divorced dad and Savannah, the biological mother of his child whose frozen eggs accidentally get used when he and his ex wife used fertility services for their surrogate baby.

Unbeknownst to music and movie star, Savannah, the eggs she had frozen because of her endometriosis get used and she is now the mother to a beautiful biracial daughter. Trying to convince the lawyer father, Miles to give her a chance to be in her daughter's life is easier said than done though.

Full of great forced proximity moments, an unusual 'meet-cute' and a sizzling, closed door romance. This was good on audio and perfect for fans of authors like Jasmine Guillory or Kennedy Ryan. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
