Baby Bonds is a linked trio of Karen Rose Smith Silhouette Special Edition novels from 2006. Custody For Two, The Baby Trail, and Expecting His Brother’s Baby each use the arrival or anticipation of a child as the central emotional engine of the romance. These baby-themed storylines were a staple of Smith’s category romance work throughout her career.

The books can be read independently, though reading all three gives a sense of Smith’s range within the pregnancy and parenthood romance sub-genre. Each story centers on a different couple whose relationship deepens through the shared experience of caring for or expecting a child.
