Cute story of a rich Italian surgeon who believes himself infertile after a bout of testicular cancer. He donated sperm to his brother's fertility clinic and now wants to take the two year-old child away from her single mother who happens to be a friend of his sister's. She's also a nurse in the hospital where he is operating and teaching classes.
Along with all the other sick babies, the H/h's daughter spikes a fever and has to be hospitalized. The hero realizes the child needs a mother and offers marriage.
You can guess the rest. Heroine fits right in with the family and teaches the hero a thing or two about how the other half lives. When the hero finds out that he isn't infertile* the heroine realizes he could have more children with a wife he really wants. So she tells him she's found a bedsit and will be moving out. Hero begs her to stay. HEA.
This part made me laugh:
'Is this a good time to confess that I don't actually know what a bedsit is?'
There are a lot of medical details and descriptions of various surgeries that skimmed. But the believable romance is definitely there.
*Boogenhagen has pointed out that this is a rule of HPlandia - the hero never actually gets tested. He just assumes.

Marriage of convenience story. Hero was so sexy and heroine was a sweetheart. She was so lonely she decided to have a child through a sperm donor. When Nico finds out he is a father and that the woman who had his child is alone and a poor nurse he decides to marry her.
Amazing book. Nico is one sexy doctor and Abby a shy adorable woman. The love scenes were full of passion and just superb!!

Once upon a time, the hero's sister begged her big brother to donate sperm to their other brother's fertility clinic so her married 38-year-old friend with fertility problems could have a baby and save her marriage. Except that friend was really an unmarried 22-year-old nurse who recently went through a bad breakup with a wannabe-bigamist boyfriend, as the hero discovers two years later when he decides to (illegally) look up the offspring from his donation after treatment for testicular cancer has (supposedly) left him sterile.
The outraged hero repeatedly threatens to take custody of the heroine's daughter because he's rich and she's not, so if the child can only have one parent, it should clearly be him. Also because she was a lying liar who lied to get his sperm. (She didn't. The sister did.) Also because he's (supposedly) sterile so this baby is his only opportunity to have children while the heroine can obviously just pump out a replacement child.
When the contested baby has a medical scare involving a febrile seizure and possible meningitis, the baby can only rest easy in her mother's arms and the hero comes to appreciate how "attached" to her mother the child is. So he proposes marriage and the befuddled heroine agrees because she'll get to keep her baby. She didn't realize the sexy heart surgeon meant for it to be a having-sex kind of marriage. Surprise!
I have questions.
- Is the brother's fertility clinic in England or Italy?
-- If it's in Italy, who paid for the heroine's IVF procedure? And why are the receptionists speaking in English?
-- If it's in England, would the NHS pay for a fertility procedure on an unmarried 22-year-old without any documented fertility problems?
- Why would a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon facing potential sterility refuse his oncologist's suggestion to freeze his sperm before treatment when his own brother runs a well-reputed fertility clinic?
- Why would a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon [I'm using this as code for "smart guy"] not get himself tested before assuming he's sterile?
- Why did he then get tested after they married?
I'm either giving this book 3 stars because of the brazen improbability of the scenario or because the hero is satisfyingly arrogant and intimidating while the heroine is sweetly vulnerable and generous. Regardless, since it was republished from Mills & Boon's medical line, it gets an automatic 2-star deduction for way too much medical detail. (Maybe as these medical details become outdated, the books will take on the vintage feel of Betty Neels' HRs. I sometimes wonder if Morgan wasn't trying to do an updated Neels shtick with her medical romances, replacing rich Dutch doctors with rich Italian doctors.)

This is a re-read for me. The Italian Dr's Wife, book 1 in the Santini Brothers series is the story of Nico and Abby. Sarah Morgan knows how to create strong, believable and very likeable characters. She knows how to keep the attraction simmering between h/H and how to build the tension to boiling point.

I have a number of romance rules because not everything is my cup of tea. I avoid cowboys and fire fighters, most ex-soldiers, heroines who are described as free spirited, and any book with a baby on the cover (I don’t understand why this is sexy) and until this book: doctors.
I don’t watch medical shows. Hospitals just seem fundamentally unsexy: there are a whole lot of sick and injured people who are not at their best and there are sights and sounds and smells with which I simply will not deal. There’s also that general miasma of human suffering that just hangs around hospitals. It all seems deal-breakingly gloomy.
I can understand that what I am meant to find thrilling is that the medical staff are performing miracles. These are seriously competent people with big brains and bigger hearts (aww). There is nothing more fundamentally admirable than saving lives. Every life is precious, every life has meaning, and medical staff are near-mythic beings in fiction, standing as they do on the threshold between life and death.
It did, however, occur to me quite recently that maybe medical people are fundamentally sexy because they know anatomy and physiology stuff. That must give them a head start at being good at sex, I reasoned, knowing as they do where everything is and how it all works. I started wondering if that was the secret everyone else who was into medical romances knew that had passed me by. And then I decided: I want to read more books by Sarah Morgan. Therefore, I will have to tackle her medicals. Ergo, here I am.
Once upon a time, Abby decided that she wanted to have a baby without going through the relationship to pregnancy pathway. She talked to a friend whose brother ran a fertility clinic, and the friend arranged for Abby’s impregnation.
Nico, the friend’s other brother, was the donor. His sister persuaded him to release his sacred sperm on behalf, he believed, of a childless couple in their late 30s. His wrath on discovering the truth was epic. Nico, after an illness, is convinced that he is now infertile, and discovering that Abby colluded with his sister to steal his sperm so that she could be a single mother is anathema to him. His plan is to confront Abby with her perfidy, and get his baby back from this clearly vile and nefarious woman. Trying to see it from where he’s standing, I agree it would be really quite off-putting to discover that your sister had a hand in stealing your sperm. Given it’s impossible to quite deal with how gross that is, you would naturally double and focus your rage at someone who isn’t a relative.
Abby is a paediatric nurse, and shy. She’s caring and competent at her job and she loves her daughter but is sensitive about the fact that she has to acknowledge that her fictional world says only bad mothers put their children in day care. There’s also a kind of conversation later in the book about how class plays a factor in this attitude. Abby didn’t have a great upbringing, which is why she hasn’t gone for the traditional two parent approach to child rearing. She knows she can be a great mother and all the parent her daughter needs.
Nico is a famous paediatric surgeon, and handsome, arrogant and independently wealthy. You can get away with a great deal of horrific personal qualities if you save babies for a living. Although it also helps to soften the heroine’s heart if you’re also really sweet and patient with the parents. Nico goes to work at Abby’s hospital, and he’s awesome at everything. I thought the medical stuff was cute. It could have been all made up for all I know, although I’m sure it wasn’t. What I basically gleaned is that Nico takes risks to save lives, but they’re not really risks because he’s so awesome that he knew it would work all along, even though all the other doctors were having this big panic about malpractice. Which he wouldn’t have cared about anyway, because saving lives is more important than the law. He also sees that Abby’s admirably work competent, and likes her for it. But this mutual appreciation for their roles as health care professionals is not enough for Nico to forget his wrath. He confronts Abby with her sperm-stealing crimes. He’s going to take her child!
I don’t know, this seems to be really shaky, what with Nico having used his relationship with his brother to discover details about Abby. Wouldn’t all this be in sealed records? Wouldn’t Abby be able to do some malpractice suing against Nico’s brother? Couldn’t you basically lock all of this into big long legal battles with some really ecstatic lawyers? I know Abby probably couldn’t afford top notch legal representation off bat, but surely there’s bound to be some super aggressive lawyer types who would love to battle it out arena style to take a crack at this case for a modest fee and a huge chunk of the settlement?
Anyway, Abby is astounded by these accusations, and insists she knows nothing. Nico doesn’t believe her. However, she has powers of motherhood and prettiness, so he plays the ‘marry me and I won’t attack you with lawyers� game. I really want a book where the heroine says: bring it on, jerk face. Just once, please. I know it wouldn’t actually work, because it’s impossible to go to court against the one you love � but maybe they could do that scene from ‘Intolerable Cruelty� and smoulder at each other before tearing up the Important Documents (‘Marilyn, you’re exposed!�)?
Abby is not this kind of warrior princess � Abby is consistent in her shy but inner core of strength personality. If she has to go into battle it’s only for her daughter’s sake, not her own. While she thinks marriage is a pretty terrible idea, and Nico’s planning to export her and the baby to Italy is concerning, she goes along with it. She’s such a nice person that she can objectively recognise that Nico has been wronged, and that, although she’s innocent of the harm he has suffered, because she can make reparation she is obliged to do so. Plus she’s in a romance so will realise that she’s in love at some stage I guess, but I really liked that she was trying to do a morally right thing, rather than being all miserable and frightened by the hero’s threats.
What this book has, which makes it all super worthwhile, is some of the most satisfying grovelling I’ve had in ages. I so love a good epiphany about how much of a saint the heroine is, and how much muck the hero is beneath her shoe. Nico’s remorse is comprehensive and a thing of beauty. I refuse to allow that I may also have liked him because he saved babies. Nice try, doctor, but I’m not so easily manipulated!

The initial premise for the reacquaintance between Abby and Nico (that he donated sperm to help her conceive a child, completely unbeknownst to him that he was helping his sister's friend) is shaky, but you've really just got to leave stark reality at the door when you enter the realm of a Harlequin Presents romance, and go with the flow.
So Nico finds out he is actually a father to a child of a single mother, that being Abby, his sister's friend, and not the thirty-something happily married couple he'd initially thought. Believing he'd been conned into it, he arrogantly persues Abby into granting child custody. And naturally she says no way. A lot of false impressions and misjudgements ensue, mostly on Nico's part, but I'm glad that he is more grounded in acknowledging when he is wrong, unlike many other romance heroes. Eventually Nico and Abby are "forced" into marriage (as you do) and they both start to see each other in new lights. There is a really hot love scene that I kind of felt was gratuitous (read it, and maybe you'll know what I mean), but overall I think the relationship was handled well.
That's not to say this story is totally implausible. Sarah Morgan knows her facts! And I appreciated her knowledge of nursing and the hospital environment; I really did feel like I was there feeling the tension, and the physical anguish and pain of illness and worry.

I like this one. Except for hero being stubborn about heroine's guilt in everything and then as stubborn in feeling guilty about that this was a really great story. I like how he sensed that she loves him. And I like that he didn't freak out by that. I tend to think that his withdraw from her back in London was really unintentional and because there was so much work in the clinic.
The only thing I wonder about is that she learned about his ability to have children but not for one moment she thought (or he for that matter) that she could be pregnant after how much sex they had in that Italian honeymoon week. I actually thought story would end that way after I read that he's likely infertile. Well, we know how it usually ends :) So I thought that was the way action will take us -- Abby getting pregnant again and them both surprised about that - but I like how Sarah Morgan twisted it in the end. I wonder if there is a HEA story written for Carlo. Will go and look for it cause I find that I like this family a lot.
Thank you, dear author, for another great read. You never tend to disappoint.

I liked both Nico and Abby, my fav being Nico who was one sexy doctor. Abby's motives for embarking on single motherhood were questionable. However, like Nico, I too came to understand and accept her motives. Nico started out quite domineering, yet he also possessed a loving side to him (which he had no problem displaying especially with their daughter Rosa). I love it when a sexy alpha is tender and loving with his baby!
Of the two books featuring the Santini brothers, I prefer this one more. Although I also gave , Carlo's story, 3-stars as well.
Another solid romance from Sarah Morgan!

A wonderful amazing read full of passion and charm. Loved the colorful extended family both in Italy and the hospital. Had to admire the sexy doctor for admitting he had been wrong about the shy nurse; not once but three times and being the first to say the words 'I love you'. All this of course makes him more hard to resist. You also had to admire the shy heroine nurse in that she is able to give so much respect and understanding even when she was a little afraid of him and his effect on her.

The Italian Doctor's Wife by Sarah Morgan was a good read. I liked the story, and I loved the characters and the conflict. It was all the angst, the hot greek alpha-hero, shy heroine, and secret baby joy that I always loved. Although the ending seemed rushed, I still enjoyed it.

I revisited this one after a good six years and I felt like I was an okish book.

The Italian Doctor's Wife
This story starts out with two brothers finding out that their sister pulled a fast one on them. One was in charge of a fertility clinic. The other a renowned neonatal heart surgeon. Nick found out that he was a father to a single parent child. He has signed up to help a infertile couple. His sister 's be is the mother. He wants his child. There is more to the story line. Will they figure out how to co parent? Or the marriage become real?

I didn't like it, the plot was quite unbelievable. A sperm donor literally had zero rights to custody and it was absolutely horrible of him to plan on taking custody of the baby. Heroine was an absolute weakling, she can't make eye contact. I get that it's from shyness but I just don't like it in a heroine. Also there was way way too much medical jargon and pages devoted to the patients. B.

Good Reading
The coming together of complete opposites. The rich vs. working class, doctor vs. nurse, privileged vs. economically challenged. Interesting story to say the least.

Well , that was surprisingly good.
I had very low expectations for this one as I bought just because it was small and cheap , but actually it turned out to be a good one .

Good storyline with a solid prose. One of the better books by SM. Or it could be that the Santini brothers are just so easy to read.

This was nice and I learned a lot about heart surgery. :D

Another medical romance from Sarah Morgan! Found her e-book and read it in a couple of hours.
Nico is a hotshot baby heart surgeon in layman's terms! What's not to love about him? His super big ego and supreme confidence! His threatening to take baby Rosa from Abby was really mean...but if I were in his shoes I might have done the same. To think you could never have children again, and the one you did have was begotten with deception.
Abby really sounds like a painfully shy and sad woman. Though her inner core is strong and she would gight for her precious child. Her life up till this point was quite sad and it was drastic measures indeed for her to resort to artificial insemination to get a baby of her very own to love.
I have never liked hospitals because in my personal experience only bad things happen there: deaths abd diseases. But reading this is competence porn at its best! All the heart problems and treatments in medical jargon could be wrong for all I know but it was great indeed to read about our medical staff performing miracles on a daily basis. Respect!
This is a 2003 book I don't think the SG library has the other books in the series. ..really want to read Carlo's book because he sounds like a lovely hero!

All the heart problems and treatments in medical jargon could be wrong for all I know but it was great indeed to read about our medical staff performing miracles on a daily basis. Respect!
This is a 2003 book I don't think the SG library has the other books in the series. ..really want to read Carlo's book because he sounds like a lovely hero!
