her research lab.

She does not realize that the room she takes the cart to belongs to her professional adversry-Dr Rowan Boothe.

Now they both have to forget their professional rivalry and personal issues to take care of the abandoned baby but with Christmas along the corner, can the festive atmosphere and the baby make them forge a stronger bond..??
Yuletide Baby Surprise is a wonderfully written holiday romance. Mari was a nerdy doctor who is constantly at horns with Rowan at professional level. Rowan was a doctor with a generous heart with a genuine nature to help others through his charities. He has a unfortunate past, which makes him insecure in his relationship with Mari. Their professional rivalry helped to make their personal lives more spicier and I just loved how the baby helped them to get closer.
My only issue with this story is that I found the pace of the story was too fast and the romance was going too fast for me at times.
Overall Yuletide Baby Surprise by Catherine Mann is a wonderfully written fast paced holiday romance.If you are a fan of the author’s previous works and like holiday themed romances,then this is the book for you.
