Whitehall Baby: A Surprise Pregnancy Romantic Comedy

If you’re in need of a good laugh, and let’s face it most of us do in these present times, make Whitehall Baby your next read, it’ll definitely put a smile on your face. It’s a while since I laughed out loud at a book and this was just the tonic I needed.I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading, the plot just flowed along. I kept telling myself ‘one more chapter then I’ll put it down’ but I was hooked, totally invested in Charlotte and Arthur. I NEEDED to know what happened next and before I knew I was reading The End.I love this author’s brand of humour. She has a knack of putting her characters in hilarious situations. What makes her books funnier is that I can often relate to some of those situations personally. And this book was no different.I thoroughly enjoyed Whitehall Baby and can’t recommend it enough.

I loved this book it was full of laughs, ok some of them are at Charlotte's misfortunes but you can just picture it in your head and can't help but laugh.Charlotte and Arthur had one night of wild passion and that one night changed bot of their lives as she ended up pregnant, They were an odd couple, him married to his Job and her happy go lucky, you would think it would never work but it did!I think Charlotte was the breath of fresh air that Arthur needed in his life with all the stress of his job, after finding out she was pregnant he moved her in his apartment and fussed over her, she thought that he only cared about the baby, but does he feel for her?If you want a good laugh then this is the book for you, well done Laura you have done it again!

****4.5 stars!****What can I say? Laura Barnard has done it again. Arthur and Charlotte’s story is an absolute giggle-fest. I think my sides have just about recovered from all the belly laughing. (Unfit? Moi?!! Guilty... *blushes*)It is also worth noting that crying with laughter whilst simultaneously gagging is no mean feat, I’ll tell ya! *smirks*. The perils of Charlotte’s pregnancy bowels, eh? Thank goodness for my metaphorical cushion!In between the bouts of hysterical laughter and tender moments, these two had me tearing my hair out...Despite Arthur’s intelligence he really is a tad emotionally stunted. You can’t have everything, can you? But then again, aren’t all the best BBFs? *whispers* He may have reserved a spot on my ‘Characters-I’d-climb-like-a-tree’ list.Charlotte is total bestie material. Down to earth, fun, and quirky, with a heart of gold. Yet, in trying to protect her heart she has a tendency to always think the worst – rightly or wrongly.So, as you can imagine, my ranting goes without saying along with the liberally sprinkled expletives (check me out being all proper!) as I was getting so frustrated. I think I was wailing at one point, “For the love of all that is holy... talk. To. Each. Other!”According to my mother aka The Mommy, Charlotte wasn’t the only one in need of a priest. Harrumph! How very dare she? *snorts*I can see you scratching your head wondering where the other half star rating has gone. *coughs* Well, *blurts* IwantedArthurtogivemethegoodsandsmexyme up. Whaaa? I’m all about the details, lol.I know, I know – I’m a bad wicked person *giggles*. I’m off before you can chastise me further...

*REVIEWING FOR ROCK HARD ROMANCE*The blurb clues the reader in to the concept, and as I'm a fan of the Author, I was expecting a LOL read from start to finish, and I was not wrong! Told in DUAL POV's, in the usual writing style, it was hilarious, with mishaps unfolding as Charlotte (31) and Arthur (slightly older 40's) cope with the pregnancy that was the product of their one night stand! Add into that, some drama, emotional moments, misunderstandings, and an Epilogue that tied it all together I couldn't put it down and I LOVED IT!

After a period of really struggling to read, I picked up Whitehall Baby & devoured it in 2 days.A couple who on paper would never work & at times don’t, navigate their way through a pregnancy neither were planning.Laura Barnard gives us a book about Charlotte a fashion designer working as a PA & Arthur a Cabinet Secretary. So many comedic moments , wonderful witty banter , leaves you definitely wanting to see them get the HEA, but not wanting their story to end.

Some of the pregnancy stories made me laugh out loud. A light romantic read. The main character Charlotte, is very independent and strong. I felt that Arthur, her love interest, comes over as a bit of a pompous idiot. But Charlotte loves him anyway. No accounting for taste. A good fun read.

This was a well written fun read! Some of the things that happen to Charlotte ( female lead) are that worthy of the deep cringe moments of a romcom movie, and you can see it playing out in your mind. You are Almost begging for it not to happen but not being able to look (stop reading)away. Arthur (male lead) character is complex, and although throughout you are obviously wanting that HEA I found myself disliking his character which is why I have given the 3 stars and not more, and I think that's more a personal feel for the story and would probably give 4 stars of not for this.

One of My FAVOURITE comedy authors @laurabarnardauthor has done it again.Made me LAUGH OUT LOUD just like her others.Didn't want this ABSOLUTE Gem of a book to end.Every chapter was like an episode of a soap opera.
