"Lighthearted romp"

Straight-to-video movie queen Tatiana Fox knew her marriage was not going well, but is stunned when her spouse Kerr informs her he is divorcing her because he is gay. While he seeks the real Kerr and moves in with his male lover, her husband tells Tatiana that she has full custody of their twin babies, Ethan and Everson.

Timing is everything in the movie industry as Tatiana learns as she auditions for a part that could make her career, but she has her two toddlers accompanying her. She gets a break when former Australian soccer star Jack Thorpe agrees to watch her children while she performs. Later Tatiana hires a financially strapped Jack to be her personal trainer and to help with the kids. As Jack and the infants bond, he and Tatiana fall in love. However, she was burned once by a hunk and also has a rising career to develop, making a relationship between them unlikely unless matchmaking babies have their way.

BABY, BABY is a lighthearted romp that satirizes Hollywood super-egos. Jack is a wonderful lead protagonist while Tatiana the wannabe superstar seems like a caricature of a starlet, yet Tatiana the mother and lover seems so human. The story line never takes itself too seriously, entertaining fans from the moment Tatiana receives the message from Kerr ending their marriage until the final curtain call.

Summary

B-movie queen Tatiana Fox's life has gone the way of her straight-to-video career. She's been had by the sleazy, the lazy, and the greedy--all on a shoestring budget. First, her husband left her. Then, her nanny quit, deserting her for a bigger star with better perks. Things are finally looking up when Tatiana lands a part in a bona fide blockbuster, but she can't start shooting until she finds a new nanny for her two-year old twins.

Enter Jack Thorpe. The Aussie ex-soccer star is easy-on- the-eyes and eager to please, having come to Hollywood in search of his big break, only to find himself flat broke. He respects Tatiana, adores the twins, and needs the money. But what began as a straightforward business arrangement makes a quick change as Tatiana's suddenly- scorching career pulls her every-which way...and Jack tugs on her heart-strings in ways she never expected...
