Product Description
From AudioFile
Emma Weston, midwife extraordinare, and Griff Cusak, the town's new doctor, join forces to find out who's stealing newborn babies from the women of Shelter, Kentucky. As the tension heats up, Amy Marcs goes into high gear with Appalachian accents and lots of enthusiasm. Harper has filled this romp through the backwoods with romance, kidnapping and suspense, all ably portrayed by Marcs. Interestingly, only Emma Weston has no accent, despite being born and bred in the back hills of Kentucky. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

The Baby Farm reviewed
Oct 23 2000
By Dana
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The story in this book was interesting, but I found the style of telling it to be choppy and hard to follow. The description of a difficult childbirth was mesmerizing and really well-done, but the romance was too sparse. Mostly I objected to ends not being tied up....we never found out what happened to several of the secondary characters, people we had either come to like or wanted to be sure they got what they deserved!

I enjoyed this book, but need more time on my hands.

The Baby Farm By Karen Harper was a great adventure thriller. The book kept me wondering what would happen next. The book also had a romance style to it which added some spice to it. The problem I found with this book is that you had to have alot of time on your hands. Because once you started reading this book you couldn't put it down. That is a problem for me because I have sports and many extra-cricular activitie's. The book does jump from one scene to another which can get confusing and can get you a bit lost,especially when you have to come back to the spot you left off the last time you read the book. I some times would have to go back to the last chapter to find out what was happening. My favorite thing about this book is how Karen was able to keep you wondering what will happen next. I was always on edge, oh my gosh whaat's going to happen I found myself often wondering. I have never found a book that I have enjoyed as much as this one. As a teen I would really recommend this book to anyone who has time and enjoys a good thriller and maybe even a romance story. I hope you willtake my word and read this book.

Suspenseful -- but too many coincidences
April 29 2000

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book has a great plot and some wonderful twists. Having the heroine be a midwife and the hero be a doctor was a wonderful idea.
I would have rated it higher if there weren't so many plot coincidences. Also, a couple of scenes, though exciting, didn't ring true because they seemed a bit contrived.
Also, I would like to know why the front cover blurb gives away a major secret!
I gave this one a B- a All About Romance.
