The Baby Plan

De: Emma Bennet

Narrado por: Anna Burnett

Sometimes life doesn’t go exactly to plan...

London accountant Sophie unexpectedly becomes the stand-in mum for her estranged sister’s eight-month-old baby, Alana. She didn’t even know she had a niece! She’s wildly out of her depth.

Then her life is turned upside down all over again by the appearance of a Thor lookalike on her doorstep. Apparently, six-foot surfer Samson is Alana’s father. And he also just discovered the existence of this adorable baby.

Sophie is not prepared to hand over her niece to an equally clueless stranger, so they come up with a plan: Sophie and Alana will move into Samson’s spare bedroom in Brighton until they work out what to do.

As they settle into changing nappies and nighttime feeds, Sophie finds it hard to ignore the way her heart somersaults whenever Samson looks at her. But he already has a girlfriend, who’s made it very clear that Sophie and Alana are in the way.

The more Samson and Sophie bond with little Alana, they can’t ignore the obvious attraction between them. But can they put their feelings aside and stick to the plan?

This heartwarming summer romance is perfect for fans of Phoebe MacLeod, Laura Starkey, Beth Moran, Freya Kennedy, Kathryn Freeman and Maxine Morrey.

Refreshing

This was a delightful story. It was refreshing to read a story that does not have chapters of explicit sex scenes. Physical intimacy is left to the imagination. The characters are very likable which makes for a good reading experience. I like this author.

EXCELLENT

This book checked all the boxes for me. It had the mystery, romance, intrigue & excellent characters that played out the unique storyline. The narration was also excellent.

sweet and cozy

This was an enjoyable, comforting listen! If anything, I feel like the story could have been a little more drawn out. I wanted more of the drama and indecision before everything worked out. overall, though, it's a lovely listen!

a Melancholy book but very good

These kinda things happen in real life and to see the emotions both parties felt is very strong when it comes to children. I liked this book and the narration.

Embracing the unexpected

liked the story and lead characters. Two adults willing to work together for a child.
