Winner of the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award! Book One of Judith Arnold’s popular Daddy School series. Jamie McCoy is the ultimate guy: thirty years old, carefree and professionally successful as the writer of a nationally syndicated humor column called “Guy Stuff.” Nine and a half months ago, he spent a week basking on the beach in Eluthera and indulging in a fling with a woman at the … at the resort. Never did he expect to find the unplanned result of that fling—a healthy, wailing baby named Samantha—strapped into a car seat on his back porch, along with a suitcase full of diapers and infant apparel and a note informing Jamie that he’s her father.
Maybe he is and maybe he isn’t. But first things first. He’s never fed a baby or changed a diaper in his life. He doesn’t own a crib or a stroller. In a panic, he phones the nearest hospital, where neonatal nurse Allison Winslow takes his call and tells him about a class she teaches called the Daddy School.
Classes on how to be a dad are exactly what Jamie needs. But when he attends his first class and sees the tall, earnest, amazingly beautiful and even more amazingly competent Allison, he realizes that he might just need more from her than her lectures on how to hold a baby.
Jamie’s efforts to be a father to this precious baby touch Allison. His sense of humor amuses her. His striking good looks turn her on. But how can she trust the sort of guy who’d sleep with a stranger on vacation, without giving a thought to the consequences? How can she give her heart to such a reckless man?

This book was ok. It was a little lackluster, boring.
A very sweet book. Loved the relationship between the lead male character and his little daughter.
Loved it, especially the first few chapters. They were so funny I was actually laughing out loud when reading it. The end was pretty predictable.
I was thoroughly entertained. I like the plot. It was action packed and I would recommend it for pleasure reading.
Loved the book!
Storyline was very slow.
Cute
I love simplistic stories but this one threw in a few curves . Enjoyed it very much
I cried….I laughed….I fell in love with the characters. This was a very well written romance, with wonderful character development. I highly recommend it!
Not a topic that is addressed from this perspective. Enjoyed the process of the story.
Two chapters of vulgar sex should not have been included in the book.
This is the second book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. The characters were so realistic and the story line was great.
I really like Judith Arnold’s writing style. It is very natural and easy to read. I usually like the characters also. They are likable and behave in what seems like a very natural way.
I didn’t feel that in this book. The h was so judgemental and opinionated I just couldn’t stand her. I couldn’t even understand what she was judging him about. Was …
Enjoyed the storyline. Some character traits of Jamie were not do believable but overall enjoyed it.
This is one of those books that you aren’t quite sure how to rate. First, the storyline had a lot of potential, it just didn’t pan out as fully as it could have. The characters were interesting, although Allison tended to get on my nerves. A lot about halfway through the book. She becomes hypocritical, but then there are many people that are like …
I feel the author was attempting to create characters who were greatly in love yet in conflict about that love. However i didn’t find the characters to be particularly believable. I didn’t think the writing was quite strong enough to make me understand and sympathize with their plight. I did enjoy the father’s interaction with his daughter and …
Writer Jamie finds “his” baby on his back porch 9 months after a “fling” in Eleuthra. He calls nurse Allison for advice and signs up for her Daddy School course. The baby mom throws a kink the growing love story but there is a happy ending
Didnt finish it, so that says a lot.
I enjoyed this story. Good character development. Thought the ending seemed a little rushed.
I love the way he took responsibility even tho he hadn’t taken a DNA test.
