My Rating:  4.5 stars

Their Barcelona Baby Bombshell is the second title in the multi-author series, Night Shift in Barcelona.  I haven’t yet had the chance to read the first title but found that Carlos’ and Isabella’s romance stood fine as a stand-alone with only the occasional mention of characters from the first story.  I love a story arc over the length of a series in the background, but what holds these titles together is that most characters work at or are affiliated with the local hospital.  So, it was easy to step into this world without feeling as if I’d be lost.

Isabella is an EMT and Carlos is an ER nurse at the local hospital.  It so happened that both were at the beach when a vacationing man needed their medical expertise.  What began as an intense situation moved into an instant attraction that lead to drinks, conversation… and one night together that neither will forget.

I enjoyed Their Barcelona Baby Bombshell so much.  Even though I understood Isabella’s feelings about being tied down by her siblings as they were growing up something just didn’t sit well with me… and I was very glad to have some additional information from the “other” side to clear that misconception up for both me and Isabella.

I adored Carlos.  He knows what he wants, what he feels but puts absolutely no pressure on Isabella to see their relationship his way.  His “if she feels it she’ll show it” attitude went a long way to winning me over, far more than muscle-man tactics of “you will marry me for the baby” would have done.

I also loved the mini-tours that we got of some spots in Barcelona, makes me wish my traveling days weren’t behind me but I’m sure I can find a virtual tour somewhere.  I had fun with Their Barcelona Baby Bombshell and would definitely return for other titles in this series.  If you enjoy a romance that isn’t always what you might expect, two people discovering that love can grow in unusual circumstances, and a steamy romance as well, then you’ll want to pick this one up soon.

Release date is June 28, 2022
