Baby Boom is one of Harlequin’s longest-running themed romance lines, with 27 books published between 1994 and 2023. The premise is simple: every story involves a baby who shakes up the lives of the adults around them. It launched with Oh, Baby! (1994) and has kept going for nearly three decades, with the most recent entry being Baby, You’re Mine! (2023). Laura Marie Altom contributed to the series across several installments, fitting naturally with her specialty in parenthood-themed romance.
The series ranges widely in its settings and situations. Early entries like For Baby’s Sake (1996) and His Brother’s Child (1997) have a classic 1990s Harlequin feel, while later books like A Wedding for Baby (2009) and The Baby Battle (2010) reflect more contemporary tastes. Some titles lean into holiday themes, such as Santa Baby (2004) and Santa’s Special Delivery (1997). With 27 books spread over almost 30 years, Baby Boom offers a broad sample of how Harlequin has handled the surprise-baby romance across different eras.
