Fun story line. I wish I could have met a hot guy across the hall when I was single and living in an apartment. The baby adds lots of depth and emotion to the story. Loved Caitlyn. She was a great heroine and her emotion when it came to the baby, both taking care of her, and thinking about having to give her up was well done.

When I read peoples reviews I always wonder what kind of person is writing them. This book had review after review of how great it is. So, I read it. This book is for people who like an easy read. For those of you who need closure in the end - trust me you will get it. I felt like it was a great story and then headed to sappy-land-south in the end. This is no doubt a "chick flick" kind of book. If your the type of person who believes in prince charming and yada yada yada this book is for you! enjoy.

When Matt and Caitlyn, new neighbors, discover an abandoned baby in their apartment hallway, they're shocked. But the note that comes with this little sweetheart leads them into a romantic and complicated relationship. Falling in love with not just each other but a baby that doesn't belong to them has the potential for heartbreak, and I just couldn't put the book down. I wanted to see how it was all going to work out. Wonderful, satisfying read!

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Tired and cynical, San Francisco Herald investigative reporter Matt Winters hears the crying of a baby in the hallway of his apartment. Matt goes to investigate and finds an infant on the floor. His new neighbor Caitlyn Deveraux, owner of a bridal shop, asks what is going on and who is he behind the safety of her door. After persuading her he is her neighbor, they take care of the infant¿s needs. They soon find a note that asks Matt to watch his nephew as apparently his long lost sister Sarah, separated from him by the foster parent system, dumped little Emily on him.
Worried that Sarah seems in trouble and deeply needing to give his sibling a hug for both their sakes, Matt decides to use his journalist skills and find Emily. He enlists the help of a reluctant Caitlyn. As they change dirty diapers while desperately seeking Sarah, Matt and Caitlyn fall in love, feelings that neither treasure at this moment.
Barbara Freethy provides readers with an enticing relationship drama with touches of humor that eases some of the tension of an emotion-laden story line. The warm yet at times melancholy plot contains a fine key cast to include the lead couple, his sister, and his niece while the strong support players such as Jonathan and the mysterious woman with the watering can add much oomph to the novel. Though Caitlyn¿s assistance seems out of character especially with her own past and wedding gown deadlines, Ms. Freethy paints a sensitive tale of some of the different kinds of wonderful that is love.

This book is not short -- about 730 pages and I read in less than 3 days. It is sweet, with a lot of twists and I couldn't put it down. I would definitely recommend it.

Touching story about learning to accept ourselves and our pasts, about embracing hope. Freethy writes stories that just border on sentimental, but sometimes, after so many dark books, it’s refreshing to read a story that is optimistic and encouraging. In this book, a baby is the focus of healing broken lives and families. The story also hinted at the supernatural help of a ghost ... or was it an angel?

Was introduced to this auther when I received my ereader as a gift. All of her stories are really unique and wonderful. I'm especially enjoying Some Kind of Wonderful. Matt and Caitlyn are truly genuine and someone I can relate to. Can't want to purchase another one of her books.

This story was difficult to read at times given the social issues raised - parental abandonment, mental health disorders, overbearing/ controlling parents, and infertility, but in the end it all works out. As for the writing style, I can't say that this was all that exciting or compelling. It took me several attempts to finish the book, but I suppose it was ok. Wouldn't pay much for it though.
