THE ONE-NIGHT VENETIAN BABY by author Melanie Milburne is a Harlequin Presents release for February 2019.

Sabrina Midhurst found out her hotel booking in Venice has been bungled and she had to share Max Firbank’s room with him. He was not a stranger. His family and hers have been friends for ever. Both their families played at matchmakers with them but they have kept away from each other. Even though they both felt attracted and passion flaring between them! So sharing hotel rooms shouldn’t be a problem, right? Wrong. They gave in to their passion. And now Sabrina was pregnant. There was no doubt that the baby was his. But could he get Sabrina to agree to wear his ring?


Sabrina, scared that her feelings for Max was getting deeper, broke off her relationship with him. And now she was pregnant and alone. Dare she let him know what was in her heart?

Could she be what Max wanted? And marry him for the sake of her baby? Would Max ever love her for herself?

THE ONE-NIGHT VENETIAN BABY is an intriguing romance with off the charts chemistry between Max and Sabrina. Author Melanie Milburne has her unique way of spellbinding her readers and keeping them engrossed in the story till the very last page. I was drawn into this fast-paced story by the lively banter and the drama. It’s passionate, touching and immensely satisfying.

Highly recommended for all readers of romance.

MS Milburne knows how to write a story that has the right amount of emotions and feelings that bring the heroes and heroines to life on the pages and this one is no different, I loved Max and Sabrina, close family friends, these two had been doing everything in their power for years to really not like each other, but there is a very fine line between love and hate and one very passionate night in Venice changes everything for them.

Sabrina Midhurst is a wedding dress designer she has been dreaming of her own wedding since she was four years old and now she does this for a lot of brides, when she is in Venice for a show and there is a problem with her room booking close family friend Max steps up and helps out, but keeping their sensual pull to themselves is of no use and they give in to the need between them, only for there to be consequences that will leave them reeling in lots of ways.

Max Firbank is an architect a very good one, he is an only child and has been stood up by an ex-fiancé, Max is always being pushed by his parents and his God-Parents to get closer to family friend Sabrina but there is no way he wants the fairy tale that Sabrina wants and their relationship leans towards lots of arguing, but he cannot help but step in when needed and one kiss, one night of passion and Max is re-thinking what he really wants in life.

This is such a great story, Sabrina and Max had been so used to fighting and hating each other since they were children that realizing that hate was really love shocked both of them, Max had a few issues from his past that had haunted him and Sabrina was the one to help with that, thank you MS Milburne for another fabulous story, you never disappoint, you know how to draw a reader in with feelings and emotions and had me sighing at the beautiful HEA in this one.
