Really great story - great characters - tugs at the heart-strings.

Definitely Recommended --M - You will enjoy this one.

Teresa Carpenter writes a great story. I wasn't sure what to expect because this was her first book. Believe me, I wasn't disappointed. I can't wait for her to write another one!

A fresh new voice in the genre. The Baby Due Date was amoung my favorite baby books this year. I look forward to reading Teresa Carpenter again soon!!

Daddy's Double Due Date (Romance) by: Belinda Barnes publisher: Harlequin Mills & Boon released: 2003-01-03 ISBN: 0263175928

Hunter Morgan is the Deputy District Attorney for Kern County in Texas and is about to run for district attorney. He is at his brother's when he gets a call from a sperm bank saying that his sperm had successfully impregnated Laura Ashely Morgen. A mix up, the sperm was supposed to be for his sister-in-law as his brother had a low sperm count.

Hunter uses his position to track Laura down and bullies the sperm bank into giving him proof, then he bullies his way into Laura's life. I'm sure that's not how Ms. Barnes intended the story to be portrayed, but that's exactly how I saw it. I was very sympathetic to Laura and I couldn't stand Hunter. Of course they wind up as in item, it is a romance, but jeez, why do romance writers have to write about guys like this. Only three stars, because I just didn't like Hunter at all, though I concede others may not agree with me.

From the author: In this paper we investigate automated storage/retrieval systems where a due date is specified for each retrieval order. We consider the inclusion of both order retrieval and storage in the same tour when possible. Rules are developed for sequencing and batching orders to tours such that the total tardiness of retrievals per group of orders is minimized.
