A Royal Baby Surprise is book two in the Sherdana Royals Trilogy, Even though this is a series each book can be read as a standalone,
The first book in the trilogy was about Gabriel and Olivia, This book is about Nic and Brooke, The Allessandro boys are triplets and as it is known that Gabriel will not be producing an heir It is now up to Nic.
Nic has not been home to live in Sherdana for ten years, He went to college in Boston and then went
to live in California with his best friend Glen, There he put his Love of science to work,
While in California he met Brooke as she was Glen's 'little' sister, "Oh what a tangled web we weave" is a phrase that surely belongs to Nic,
I can't really say anymore without giving something away, This really is a great book so, don't hesitate to get it, "Nic and Brooke are opposite personalities who love so deeply they almost break your heart" RT Book s,stars,
Miniseries: The Sherdana Royals to come :So I finally got around to reading Cat Shield's "A Royal Baby Surprise" For anyone who knows medays is close to a record Anyway the only surprise to me was that it took me that long to crack open this wonderful romance.
I loved it and once I started reading it I couldn't stop until the last sentence was read, I mean I ignored everything from the kids to the phone because I had to give it my undivided attention.
Dr. Brooke Davis always paid attention to detail and for the past five years her attention to detail was telling her that her brothers best friend, Nic Allessandro was into her just as much as she was into him so she decided to do something about it and see where it took her.
Turns out it took her to heaven in his arms and in his bed,
Brooke loved Nic and was pretty sure he felt the same way and started dreaming of marriage and babies and happily ever after.
Someone forgot to tell her that happily ever afters were just fairy tales because Nic informed her it was over and going back home.
Brooke refused to believe that he didn't love her the same way she loved him and followed him to his homeland, the principality of Sherdana, only to find out he had been lying to her the whole time she's known him, about everything.
Turns out he's not just a nobody , he's a real life prince, and he's gone back home to do his duty and marry and produce an heir to the throne.
Brooke realizes that he doesn't consider her good enough, Good enough to marry and produce a child with,
To bad he hadn't thought about that sooner rather than later because Brooke was already pregnant with his child.
Now what's she going to doIs Brooke going to keep her pregnancy a secret and let the love of her life go or is she going to tell Nic that she's pregnant with the prince's baby
Nic tried hard to resist Brooke for the pastyears until he couldn't hold out any longer, he had to have her, and he did.
Being with Brooke was everything he had hoped for and together they were happy, Until his family needed him to come home and do what was expected of him, Marry a woman of Sherdana and produce an heir, and by Sherdana rules, Brooke wasn't good enough, So he left, never expecting her to come after him, He was prepared to break it off with her again but it was even harder than the last time , because this time he realized that she had as big a secret as he had.
Does he continue to do his duty to his country or does he dare to do his duty to the his heart and marry Brooke and give his baby his name
I loved seeing Brooke in action.
She was a strong woman who knew what she wanted and went after it no matter what, You just had to root for her, Nic was a man of honor who knew what he had to do no matter what it was he wanted and I felt sorry for him because you could feel how torn he was inside between doing what was expected of him and what his heart wanted him to do.
I couldn't wait to see what Brooke would do, would she tell him or not And then I couldn't wait to see what Nic would do, would he make the ultimate sacrifice and marry someone he didn't love while letting the love of his life walk away from his life
The tension was killing me waiting to see what either was gonna do and Cat Schield weaved the tale so well that the reader didn't find out what they were going to do until almost the last second.
The ending didn't happen the way I expected it to happen but I loved it, . . Did Brooke and Nic find their happiness together or not You'll have to read this remarkably well written romance by Cat Schield to find out but I have to tell you it was worth every second of reading to find out.
I can only hope that Cat Shields revisit's Sherdana and we find out more about the people there and what happens to Nic's sister Arianna who managed to spark my interest long before the end of the story.
So Cat Schield if you are out there listening this reader would love to see Arianna's story!
So if your looking for a romance worthy of your hard earned money then grab a copy of A Royal Baby Surprise cause you can't go wrong! LOVED IT! I really liked Brooke because she was a strong woman who decided what she wanted and kept to it.
Unlike other pregnancy novels, Brooke kept it to herself until the last couple of chapters because she knew that Nic had no other choices except to adhere for her duties as a Prince.
However, the story just lacked passion and the umph factor to really draw in a reader, OUT NOW: A ROYAL BABY SURPRISE BY CAT SCHIELD

REVIEW: A ROYAL BABY SURPRISE BY CAT SCHIELD
A Royal Baby Surprise by Cat SchieldMy ofstarsAnybody who follows my reviews knows that I love to read series books.
It is enjoying to visit and reacquaint yourself with past characters and get to know new ones, Nic was a complicated individual searching for his own identity outside of being a royal and a triplet, His feelings of guilt responsibility and loneliness were understandable considering the circumstances, Brooke was a overpowering personality who hid her vulnerabilities and did what needed to be done, Even if it broke her heart, Cat Schield is always accurate in her ability to bring emotion, For me all of her stories are so different that it is fun to read them, sitelink nightowlreviews. com/v/Re

Chasing the man who broke her heart halfway around the world to tell him she's pregnant is the hardest thing Brooke Davis has ever had to do.
But when she catches up with him, he's got a surprise for her, too: he's been hiding his royal roots.
Nic Alessandro is a prince, and Brooke's an unsuitable matchbut their attraction is hotter than ever! What will happen when royal duty and desire collide Maybe Nic will have to take Brooke home to Sherdana and find out I really enjoyed this book.
It had a fairy tale feel to it, This is part of a series, but I read it as a standalone, This book was so good, that I had to go back and read Royal Heirs required, that I loved just as much.
Nic had spent the lastyears working in California with a team of scientist, A explosion killed a member of the team, when a fuel system Nic was working on, malfunctioned, The day the Griffin had blown up, his dream of privatizing space travel had gone up in smoke, He broke up with Brooke, and retreated to a private Greek island, He took the death of a team member hard,
Brooke found out she was pregnant, She followed him to the private island to tell him the news, He thought her brother, and friend Glen had sent her, to bring him back to the team, Brooke knew she loved him, and thought he loved her back, They had spent the lastyears together as best friends,
She didn't know he had kept one BIG secret from her, He had to break up with her, he had no choice, He was really a prince of Sherdana, It was time for him to step up and face his royal obligations, Nic hadbrothers. they were triplets. Nic was second in line for the throne, His oldest brother Gabriel, fell in love and married someone that could never have children,
This book pulled at my heart, Nic was pulled in several directions, He was a honorable man, and wanted to do what was best for his country, He also loved Brooke and was finding it hard to let her go, Now as next in line, it was up to Nic to find a wife that the laws of his country would accept as the future mother of the royal line.
In order for his child to be eligible to take the throne, the constitution required that the mother had to be either a Sheranda citizen or a member of Europe's aristocracy.
I loved it when Nic took Brooke with him to the palace, It gave a fairy tale feel to the book, I loved the friendship between Brooke, and Nic's sister, and sister in law, She was afraid at first to meet them, for they were a real life princess, She quickly found out they were warm, and loving, down to earth people, They loaned Brooke clothes, dresses, and shoes, That part of the book was fun, Olivia, and Arianna could see that Nic, and Brooke were in love, They didn't buy the story that the two were just friends for a second, I didn't really care for the Queen, I know she was Nic's mom, and thought she knew what was best for him, She had made up a long list of beautiful lady's that Nic could choose from, She was not happy about Nic bringing Brooke home to meet them, A little drama makes every book better,
You will have to read this wonderful story to see how Nic found out he was going to be a father.
Will he marry Brooke and live in the palace, or will he let her go The book had a few twist and turns that surprised me.
I picked up this book after getting off work, I stayed up till afteram, because I just could not put this book down, I always know I'm lying to myself when I start a book at night, and just intent to read a chapter or two.
Most books keeps me up tillam, but this book I just couldn't put it down, till I was finished with it.
This story was a fun book to read, I thank Cat Schield for asking me to read this book for a honest review, She is a very talented author,
Better than average Harlequin novel,
