Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer (Curvy Ever After Book 2) by Stephanie Harrell – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer by Stephanie Harrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Surprise Baby for Mr. Fischer is a great contemporary romance about a famous actor, Lincoln, who falls in love with Harper, a local girl from Rhode Island, who he had an amazing weekend with. Four months after their amazing weekend, Lincoln returns to Rhode Island to a house he bought, hoping to rekindle what had happened between them. To his surprise, Harper is pregnant with his baby. Both characters are fighting their own demons, Lincoln – his childhood, and Harper – a fear of being in the public’s eye and self-confidence being a curvy girl. They are each also trying to live the dreams they have for themselves (Lincoln – famous actor; Harper – traveling picker vlog). These demons and hopes for dreams try to “distract” them from a future that they know they both want and deserve – love and raising the baby as a family! However, most of the time, Harper can’t get out of her own way, so how do they make this work?
I just fell in love with Lincoln from the beginning of the book. I think the story between the two characters is love in the making. I knew I loved this book because it gave me a lot of feelings. One, I think it portrayed famous people and men in a better light than we are used to. Also making it a point to have a main character that can’t be seen as society’s version of perfect, for Harper, was great to read about since I am a curvy girl myself. However, Harper also made me very mad at times. As a female, I know we are exhausting, but seeing it on paper just infuriated me. Why do females sometimes just have to ruin something so perfect out of fear, bias, or stereotypes. Many of us women go through it and make mistakes when it comes to love until someone on the other end of the love decides they won’t let that happen – thank goodness for Lincoln.
