I received an e-copy of this story for my honest review.
Ranchers, gotta love ‘em! They try to be so strong, take care of everything themselves, and hold things in. They’re so stubborn sometimes! When what they really need is the right woman to help them, not only for a different perspective on ranch troubles, but to also stay the course. *sigh* Ranchers, oh do we love them! lol

The Rancher’s Pregnant Fake Fiancée is the first book in the Radford Ranch Brothers series by Leslie North. It was also the third book I’ve read by the Leslie.

The book tells the story of two longtime friends, Jett Radford and Noelle Hanson. But one night together changed everything between them. Soon, Jett and Noelle landed themselves in a real mess because Noelle is pregnant, and she can’t afford to lose a major project over this pregnancy because she believed being pregnant without a steady partner is a bad reputation.

The two then faked an engagement that quickly felt real. Read the book to find out what happens next.

This was a pretty cute read. During the entire book I kept craving cake. What was a fake romance to help keep one job and save a farm was really so much more. Looking forward reading about Shane and Chad.

A sweet tale of the baker and the ranch owner who have known each other forever when a one night stand leads to an accidental pregnancy. To help them both in this traditional town they agree to pretend to be engaged. The question is will they keep pretending or will they figure out a way to be a happy family? A lovely tale of romance and friendship and the path to happiness.

A light and fluffy read with plenty of heart. The writing is good and the characters are as sweet as the cakes from Magpies Bakery. This quick read is a god escape from reality and lots of fun. I really enjoyed this read and finished it in one sitting.

This was a easy, pleasant read, finished it in one sitting as it flowed and you just wanted to know what happens next, i also really want to be enjoying the cakes they sound so delicious.

It's about two friends noelle and jett, who both have suffered lost and abandonment. They are dealing with these unresolved issues throughout, but they possibly never have dealt with these issues or even considered this idea if it wasn't for the unplanned pregnancy.

The Rancher's Pregnant fake Fiance is about Jett and Noelle. They have been friends for years., but since she is his best friend's sister, she is off-limits. But after his father's health, they shared a steamy night together. It was a one-time thing until she found out she is pregnant with his baby. Noelle comes up with a plan that would benefit both of them. But will it work?

Sexy and steamy book, characters were great and the book had a nice fast pace flow to it

I always enjoy a good Leslie North book and this one was no different. To me, it’s a palate cleanser between reading heavier books that wipe me out mentally.

Jett & Noelle have known each other since they were very young and apparently they have both fought attraction towards each other. Jett felt like he couldn’t go out with Noelle because her brother was his best friend and Kevin would kill him. But one night after the pressure of Jett’s dad dying and Jett assuming responsibility for the ranch, Jett & Noelle had a one night stand. That was the greatest night of their lives. And ended up with Noelle being pregnant.

With them living in a small town, they decided to fake their engagement so the townsfolk wouldn’t think poorly of either one of them. But will they fall in love for real during that time? Or are they already there?

This book was cute and an easy read that I enjoyed. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The opinions stated above are mine without biases.

Leslie North books always end up with a one click from me!
This book was easy to read and had a strong plot line that was easy to follow.
Noelle and Jett are friends who let things go a little far one night and work together to come up with a solution for both of them.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

Leslie North consistently brings great characters and passionate romance to life. As a big fan North's, her name provokes an automatic one-click from me. I am always entertained.

I love this kind of books, they never disappoint: a baby, a friendship and a fake engagement. I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read that showcased a strong male who had a lot to handle with a ranch left to him. It's the first time I read something from this author, but wont be the last. Thanks for the ARC!

After Jett's father's death, he along with his younger brothers, Shane and Chad took over their family Ranch. But the condition of their Ranch was not so good because of their father's poor choices. Anyway, Noel, Jett's best friend's sister was pregnant with his baby. They hooked up once. Noel had her own cake shop. They decided to be fake engaged as it would benefit both of them but ended up falling in love the more time they spent together. But misunderstanding made them fell apart. But then from a little nudge here and there and after their own realization, they finally understood where they went wrong and confessed their love for each other.

I found Noel really frustrating sometimes. Hated Edith and her husband, Harold. It would've solved so many problems if Jett and Noel communicated a little bit. I want cakes! Ugh!

I received this arc for an honest review.
Jett Radford and Noel Hansen have been friends for years. She is actually his best friends’ little sister. Though she is now a full-grown woman. They spend a night together after his father died and though both wanted the not to end each agreed to just make it a one-night deal. This would be all good except for one tiny little issue. She is now pregnant.
Noel who owns the local bakery in town has just taken on a big wedding and does not want to lose the contract, so she goes to Jett with the idea of them getting engaged, and later on, they can break up. He agrees to her plan. Of course, this does not go as planned and it is that part that makes for a good story. This book has many good characters and is a really quick read.

I got sucked in by the title of this book--there is just SO MUCH going on! And it did not disappoint. There was definitely a rancher (a hot one), there is a baby and they are fake engaged! AND she's a successful baker worried the small minded biddies will TAKE AWAY HER SUPER IMPORTANT CAKE CONTRACT if they find out she's pregnant with no boyfriend in the picture. AND THE RANCHER HAS BROTHERS WE GET TO READ ABOUT TOO!

Anyway, this was a quick romp and it did not disappoint. The sex scenes aren't overly graphic, so if you don't particularly care for throbbing members and quivering (downstairs) lips, you'll like this book. It does feel a bit rushed at points, but hey, it's a 200 page book things are going to move quickly.

Slow, cute plot which gives no surprises but is lovely to spend time reading. A dark and brooding hero who stands up to do the right thing and slowly opens his heart to a great heroine - and a great baker!

Leslie North has crafted an emotionally engaging story, The Rancher’s Pregnant Fake Fiancé, in the first installment of the Redford Ranch Brothers series. In the process of addressing the the aftermath of the heightened reaction to the death of his father, Jett agrees to an arrangement with Noelle to benefit them both in their individual business dealings...the premise of a fake engagement, also provides a misdirection for their accidental pregnancy, thus creating the journey this couple takes that eventually results in a very fulfilling HEA.

All in all this was a very enjoyable romance...paving the way for Shane’s story up next in the second installment of the series.

The Rancher’s Pregnant Fake Fiancée
Radford Ranch Series #1
by Leslie North

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

Can they become one?

In another good book from Leslie North we get the first book in the Radford Ranch series. In book 1 it’s more or less a friends to lovers story with angst thrown in. The writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shocking moments. I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Authors Blurb: A stubborn rancher and a delicious baker are just friends… Until a baby comes along!

Jett Radford and Noelle Hanson have been friends for years. Although Jett has always been secretly attracted to her, Noelle was strictly off limits. He would never date his best friend’s little sister. But when he’s grief-stricken after his father’s death, Jett turns to Noelle for comfort. They later agree that their one-night stand was a mistake, but it has consequences they can’t walk away from—because now Noelle is pregnant and needs a favor.

She’s got a high-profile wedding cake commission in the works and she’ll lose the contract if she’s seen as less than respectable. Would Jett agree to a fake engagement to get her through a tough spot? Jett agrees, knowing he can keep his emotions in check. As the oldest Radford brother, he’s always taken his responsibilities seriously, and knows his heart will not get involved. Turns out, though, Jett doesn’t know himself quite as well as he thought…

Being a fake fiancée is way harder than Noelle thought it would be. She’s always liked Jett, but now her feelings toward the handsome rancher are far more complicated. There’s nothing fake about their kisses or their wild attraction for one another, making this fiercely independent woman wonder what life with an alpha cowboy would be like. But can attraction be trusted when she’s not sure what’s true and what’s just part of the act? Maybe it’s time to end their fake engagement. Maybe it’s time for her to realize there was nothing real about their time together…

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

Noelle and Jett are such a cute couple. A miscommunication can cause big problems. The ending has the happiest of endings.
