Finding Baby J
Reviews
5 out of 5 Stars Lorraine Nelson is a superb romance author
By Michelle Fayard on December 5, 2015
When I was growing up, it seemed as if I always were in the middle of a romance novel, thanks to my mom bringing home sacks of paperbacks from the second-hand bookstore. I learned then what strong powers a good read has when it comes to taking you away from present problems and returning you refreshed.
With her warmly real characters, excellent dialogue and fast-paced plots, author Lorraine Nelson excels at delivering memorable reads. I knew Ms. Nelson had succeeded in transporting readers via the magic carpet of words when it finally dawned on me that I was thinking, gosh, how appropriate is it that the heroine, Shana Davis, calls the abandoned newborn she discovered Baby J, for John Doe, and the hero, Dr. Kagan Daniels, wants to give the baby the Daniels family name of Jarrod; good thing Jarrod starts with J, I thought—then started to laugh when I realized I’d forgotten for the moment that the book wasn’t real, and of course the names could match!
Another thing I really respect about Ms. Nelson’s writing is that so often when a romance book’s “black moment” arrives, it seems to have to mean that the hero and heroine now have to be at one another’s throat; that always makes it difficult to believe the couple ever could have a chance at coming to a point where they’ll be able to build a long-lasting true love. Not so with Ms. Nelson’s books. With Finding Baby J, you have two people who have experienced life and its sometimes resultant pain but who haven’t become bitter or twisted, with the heroine or hero expected to solve the problem and fix the other person, which never works any how.
Finding Baby J is all the better book for being real while being a wonderful vacation from a sometimes crazy word. The day I discovered Lorraine Nelson’s books was a very good day indeed!

"Finding Baby J" by Lorraine Nelson is a story about an infant 'baby J' who is left in a dumpster. Shana Davis and Dr. Kagan Daniels both work at Mercy Hospital and become attached to this little baby. Kagan decides to adopt the baby and he grows closer to Shana. However, life doesn't always go as planned as people from the past come forward and try to kill their happiness. Such a wonderful story. I didn't want to put the book down.
5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read January 11, 2014 By Bre Format:Kindle Edition I received this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.

Rhoane Forrester, A 5 star read. December 3, 2013
Finding Baby J, by Lorraine Nelson, is a definite must read. A medical romance with endearing, altruistic characters that make you want to keep reading. Kagan, successful but dissatisfied, is searching for all that is missing from his privileged life. Shana, determined to overcome life's blows, is trying to build a life. Baby J brings them together while circumstance tears them apart. Someone close to Kagan is digging up Shana's past. Will the baby that brings them together keep them together?Sweet and sexy all the way.

Reviewer: Amanda, Rating: 5 Stars - A Must Read.
Heat: 3 - Blush Worthy. Shana Davis is a young woman barely getting by, but she cannot keep herself from taking in strays. When she hears a mewling sound while taking the trash out at work one night, she assumes a kitten is caught in the dumpster but finds instead an abandoned newborn boy. Taking it straight to the neonatal department where she works she starts a chain of events that changes both her life, that of the doctor she takes the baby to, the young boy, and many others.
I really enjoyed the romance between Shana and Kagan, even though I wanted to kick him when he jumped to all the wrong conclusions about her. Both of them were strong characters looking for a family that they had been denied, one through death and one through his mother's snobbery. I liked Shana's determination to do the right thing for others even when she was hurt rather than lashing out. I especially enjoyed the side story with an eighteen-month-old with kidney failure and the way all the loose ends wrapped up for a wonderful happily-ever-after ending.
Lorraine Nelson's feel-good romances never fail to deliver!

I read it twice and each time I cried at different parts. For a romance with a happy ever after it offered a full range of emotions. The ending for me is what made it so satisfying. Shana is the kind of woman we all can admire and relate to. It was a truly enjoyable read. I'll be waiting to see if others felt the same way.
