Jamie is a writer of a well known, well read column about men.  He finds out he fathered a child by a woman he had a fling with on vacation when the baby is left at his house.  Never having changed a diaper before and not knowing the first thing about babies, he enlists the help of Allison who is a pediatric nurse.  Although the formula (single dad, not knowing what to do, enlisting the help of the heroine) is not a new one, Judith Arnold writes it well.  A relationship between Allison and Jamie develops (or it would not be a romance) and of course has its twists and turns.One thing I do object to in other reviews of this book, is that Allison expresses a less than approving opinion of Jamie's fathering a baby during a fling he had on vacation.  One reviewer took much offense at that.  However, I did not see that Allison trashed Jamie, just that she did not approve of that sort of thing and it brought into question if she and Jamie had the same values.  It doesn't make Allison a prude.  That would be a valid point.
