Although maybe there could be unplanned pregrancy in (the end of) the story. Like you did in your book ALL NIGHT WITH THE BOSS.I really liked it how they learned/grow very realistically to handle unplanned pregrancy situation and found they way out as a happy loving couple. Not only forced to be together because of the pregnancy. Very well done story.Katanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-12791391453818884422011-01-20T17:11:25.794+11:002011-01-20T17:11:25.794+11:00Big congrats to Soraya!

I have a baby boy on the way (he has a few more months of cooking to do yet!) so Soraya's news brings a tear to my eye.<br /><br />I don't mind a baby in a story -- since I generally read and write paranormal babies aren't as common but in the right story they work well.<br /><br />Congrats on Walk on the Wild Side -- sounds great!Anna Hacketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448179667690075629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-56596280132937936752011-01-19T20:59:44.021+11:002011-01-19T20:59:44.021+11:00Congrats to Soraya and her Hubby wonderful news ba...Congrats to Soraya and her Hubby wonderful news babies are so beautiful and I also love a story with a baby or children in them and I do enjoy an unplanned pregnancy story<br /><br />Have Fun<br />HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984438742736003285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-46470995226191932742011-01-19T19:19:15.144+11:002011-01-19T19:19:15.144+11:00Marvellous news about Soraya and her baby boy, Nat...Marvellous news about Soraya and her baby boy, Natalie -- and thanks for stepping into the breach! <br /><br />Walk on the Wild Side sounds like a lot of fun -- I look forward to reading it!Emily Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958085922194448672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-65301808464072345272011-01-19T16:42:00.012+11:002011-01-19T16:42:00.012+11:00A HUGE congratulations to Soraya... there's no...A HUGE congratulations to Soraya... there's nothing as special as the arrial of a newborn x<br /><br />Re the questions, i agree with the writers above, a little is fine... altho now you mention it it seems to be used as the excuse these days alot for the characters to be forced together... and I have to say... I always wonder - in this day and age the female should be using protection (like the pill) - altho I realise it's only a story.<br /><br />I do like the ones where the father discovers in the future tho about a child for what ever reason and he goes back to fix everything... that's every girls fairytale I think when they're a single parent... well you know... if the father was a hot rich as hot... nice ... hot ... guy hahahahahaTashNzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146884245899602417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-71571261486352868852011-01-19T16:01:28.297+11:002011-01-19T16:01:28.297+11:00Oooo, Natalie, I do love your reason for your &quo...Oooo, Natalie, I do love your reason for your "Making me smile" quip! What exciting news! Congratulations to Soraya and hubby and new addition - I'm so glad to hear they're doing well!<br /><br />I like babies and children in a romance - but as others have said, as long as they're not the focus of the story. I like to see lots of the hero and heroine on the page!<br /><br />Walk on the Wide Side sounds great! I'm guessing a March release for Australia and New Zealand?<br /><br />:)<br />SharonSharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-67400217452927152052011-01-19T13:34:03.326+11:002011-01-19T13:34:03.326+11:00Congratulations, to Soraya!

Thanks for passing it on, Natalie, and we'll look forward to when Soraya can fill us in on all the details :-)<br /><br />I like babies in a romance, but like the majority here I don't like them to be the focus. I love the sound of Walk On The Wild Side -- you've certainly given your hero and heroine a nice, fat hurdle to overcome there (am rubbing my hands in glee and looking forward to settling down with it at some stage in the future).Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-58474541427301839842011-01-19T11:09:40.451+11:002011-01-19T11:09:40.451+11:00Yayay Soraya and family!!

But not in RIVA/Presents Extra, lol. We readers need diversity and that means all manner of 'escape'!<br /><br />Having said that, I'm off to Maze Mania, an undercover playground, with Rachel and assorted kidlets now.

Yes, I've mutterings of a name... but I've got to leave Soraya something for her to share direct :)<br />Agree with you on the balance in books - and of course it depends on your mood - are you wanting an escape from kidlets that day? Or wanting a wonderful reminder of how fabulous they can be! :)<br /><br />Hi Julie-Ann and Toni - it's such an exciting time for them isn't it!!!

Before then neither had ever viewed each other as romance material and the unfolding romance was great.<br /><br />Please pass on my congratulations and hugs to Soraya, DH and their new little boy - I had a chuckle at the scenario you described of his imminent arrival and Soraya's finished ms.<br /><br />Thanks, Nat, for keeping us posted. :-)Kylie Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469214884337936604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-27584856928131022102011-01-19T06:45:14.030+11:002011-01-19T06:45:14.030+11:00Dropping in to wish Soraya, her man and their new ...Dropping in to wish Soraya, her man and their new little bundle of man, congratulations.
