She’s got the perfect plan…
Until love breaks all the rules!
Wei-Wei Lu has everything mapped out. Her teaching career, her pregnancy and a future entirely on her terms—no waiting for love! But when her traditionally minded parents arrive for Thanksgiving—knowing nothing about Wei-Wei’s baby—all of her organization implodes in a cloud of cranberry-scented dust. Determined to reassure her parents that she’s got everything under control, Wei-Wei does what any panicked expectant mom would do: pretend that medic Ravi Khan is her boyfriend. But Ravi isn’t remotely her dream guy. He’s too carefree, too flirty, and he’s already planning his next far-flung adventure. Now Wei-Wei has to choose between giving Ravi up…or giving a surprising kind of love a real chance.

My Review
This book is about unexpected love, family expectations, and two people who discover that a fake relationship can lead to something beautifully real. Kristi Hong delivers a heartfelt contemporary romance that blends humor, emotional vulnerability, and cultural richness into a warm and satisfying story.

Their chemistry feels effortless, making it easy to root for them as they gradually lower their emotional defenses.
Beyond the romance, the novel thoughtfully explores themes of family, cultural traditions, and the expectations that can shape personal choices. Both characters must navigate their own fears and responsibilities while learning that vulnerability is not a weakness but a path toward deeper connection. Their personal growth gives the story emotional depth without overwhelming its uplifting tone.
Kristi Hong balances romance, humor, and heartfelt emotion with confidence, creating a comforting read that celebrates love, acceptance, and finding happiness in unexpected places. The Medic and the Mom-to-Be is a sweet, emotionally rewarding romance that will especially appeal to readers who enjoy fake dating, family-centered stories, strong character growth, and hopeful happily-ever-afters filled with warmth and charm.
