Baby Twins to Bind Them by Carol Marinelli
5.0
Working as a nurse in the London Royal Hospital, all of twenty-four Candy Anastasi is crushing hard on thirty-something Dr Guy Steele at first sight. She's running away from her briefly embarrassing relationship with the head nurse Gerry and got a surprise holiday for herself to Hawaii.
An Italian heroine, hell yeah but with overbearing parents, oh no. He's only at their hospital for six weeks as a geriatric consultant, while she willingly takes extra duties there to supplement her income for her holiday. Her holiday which is due to start in four weeks.
Candy has a big Italian family with four brothers, I wonder if they have their own stories. Guy had been married for ten years before his infertility became the reason for their divorce.
They have a beautiful few weeks in Steele's apartment since Candy's parents still intrude in hers. I was intrigued, the story has been kind of divided, halfway into it, as Before and After. But that was needed, I guess, what with both of them with their exes. It is in the After part that she seriously considers that she might be pregnant. Ah! I felt so bad for Candy, she comes to know out of the blue that she's pregnant with twins, and neither her ex or current partner are ones whom she can or wants to share the news with. Here, Anton Rossi and Louise of [b:Unwrapping Her Italian Doc|23341378|Unwrapping Her Italian Doc (London's Most Desirable Docs #2)|Carol Marinelli|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1412727446l/23341378._SY75_.jpg|42900956] also show up, as Candy's midwife friend and her obstetrician husband. Their respective insecurities and nature are also discussed, which seemed a bit funny, considering they're completely unrelated books.
Guy Steele though, I don't think I have read a more perfect character than him. It is the magic in his imperfections, maybe. Now I know why the author said what she said in the beginning:
I loved how the author discussed certain things so openly in this story, things which are very much relevant to the times. About being candid regarding certain things. And then there's that geriatric patient in the hospital, Macey Anderson. She was kind of the main character and it was so lovely to hear her pop up every few pages. An eight-year-old former nurse, she was more of a family than the real ones. I just have to love this particular thought of hers.
I needed the laughs this one had. It uplifted my mood from very gloomy thoughts I was having. The author's writing made everything feel so easy when it obviously wasn't. This was such a sweet story. And it is one definitely for keeps.
P.S. I'm getting a kick out of examining the covers nowadays. And this one missed out on not an advanced stage of pregnancy in the book as well as Nurse Candy's very blue eyes.

Dear Reader, Sigh… I completely loved writing this book. The only downside to loving my hero, Dr Guy Steele, so much is that he has spoiled any future relationships—because I will forever be thinking, Steele wouldn’t have said that… or Steele wouldn’t have done that… Yes, he’s really that delicious—just so assured and sexy, yet nice. I’m actually jealous of my own heroine! Happy reading!
I loved how the author discussed certain things so openly in this story, things which are very much relevant to the times. About being candid regarding certain things.

An eight-year-old former nurse, she was more of a family than the real ones. I just have to love this particular thought of hers.
Macey watched the smile that spread on his face and, yes, some things were private but she knew too that she’d just witnessed the realisation of love.
I needed the laughs this one had. It uplifted my mood from very gloomy thoughts I was having. The author's writing made everything feel so easy when it obviously wasn't. This was such a sweet story. And it is one definitely for keeps.
