#MFRWhooks: Don’t Drop the Baby
I’m excited to participate in the #MFRWhooks with my latest release, Don’t Drop the Baby. It’s the first book in the sweet, romantic comedy Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor series.
Dr. Brogan Corkie is happily semi-retired from medicine and now has time for other hobbies. Her passion for food is second only to her skill at matchmaking!
Don’t Drop the Baby ~ Ross Skye, owner of BabyCare, a high-end line of baby merchandise, is injured in an accident, and Brogan uses her cooking, medical – and matchmaking – skills to help him out. Dr. Lauren Kane is taking care of her nephew for two weeks, and Brogan agrees to babysit while Lauren is at work.
Two years ago, Ross and Lauren dated. At that time, Lauren wanted kids, but Ross wasn’t keen. Now the tables have turned, and Ross is trying to convince Lauren that they’d make an awesome parenting team. Brogan suggests they test drive parenthood by looking after a simulated baby for a week – a computerized version that eats, sleeps, wets, and cries. Ross and Lauren experience the “joy” of having a newborn firsthand, and the bar is set pretty low. Their first goal: don’t drop the baby. The second goal is to find out if their love for each other will survive the test of…parenting.
Enjoy an excerpt from Don’t Drop the Baby ~
“Eventually you’re going to have to deal with the demons, you know. You can’t just hire out a baby.”
“Maybe I’m rethinking having my own.” As soon as the words came out, he regretted it. “I’m sorry. I’m making a mess of this. Blame it on the lack of sleep. I know this is a temporary solution, but I’m desperate. Please Lauren. Could we just try? I have a roomful of BabyCare merchandise that I’d be happy to give you in exchange. You could take your pick.”
“My sister does love your stuff.” The grudging reluctance in her voice gave him a glimmer of hope. “Is Brogan okay with this?”
“Yes. And I promise, if your nephew doesn’t settle with me, then Brogan can take him home.”
She sighed. “All right. As long as he’s happy and gets his sleep, I’m okay with it.”
“Thanks Lauren, I appreciate it.”
“Be good to him, Ross. I’m trusting you.”
“Of course. I’ll treat him like he’s my own.”
“Wasn’t that part of the problem?”
“Good point. I’ll treat him like he’s a pair of 100-level tickets to a Stanley Cup final game.” Lauren laughed. “We’ll be there in half an hour.”

There’s no such thing as rest when taking care of a baby!
