When I think of romance, I think of books just like this one, that gives all the feels and satisfies every romance junkies' heart. This is a perfect books to snuggle up with on any day.

Josie has given up on finding a partner after being unlucky in love and chooses to have a baby on her own. But when she gives birth with the help of her neighbor Miles, a connection is formed between the two, and they decide to get married to form a comfortable family unit. But of course, the marriage-of-convenience is not as convenient as it seems…

I picked up this book for an obvious reason: There is a smiling baby flying through the air on the cover. The whole thing screams comfort. And this was a warm comfort read indeed. The leads are really likable and well-suited to each other – they are friends first, but become attracted to each other after bonding through Davy and decide to get married because they enjoy each other’s company and have both been burned by love.

The book is quite low angst, which I enjoyed, as the plot mostly deals with the characters getting to know each other and acknowledging the true nature of the feelings simmering between them. They were a couple I could see realistically working together. I also liked the relationships between the leads and Miles’s daughters, who also read like real teenagers.

However, I thought the ending was somewhat rushed, with the situation with Ashley being resolved in a rather lacklustre manner. After I skated along so comfortably the abrupt nature of it was like a splash of cold water! I also wished Davy had a more important role in the story; he brought Josie and Miles together of course, but any number of things could have done that and I was expecting more of a cuteness factor from him.

Overall though, it was definitely an enjoyable read, hitting a lot of the tropes I like and every bit as cosy as the cover promises.

Description
“Will you marry me?”
When Josie LeClaire went into labor alone on her farm, the single almost-mother had no one to turn to but her neighbor, Miles Halstead. Fortunately, the widowed single father was more than up to the task. And as he found himself unable to stay away from the lovely Josie—and her adorable newborn son—he realized he wanted her in his life as more than a friend. Josie treasured what Miles had already come to mean to her and her baby. So when he uttered those four words, of course she said yes. Even if he couldn’t say the three words she really wanted to hear…

🐣MY Review🐣
I loved the story of Miles Halstead and Josie LeClaire. They are easy to like with emotional back stories. More times than I could count, I found myself smiling and laughing and at times wanting to shake Miles. I also thought that the fact it was a friends to lovers and a blended family story with lots of animals that made this story even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this book and all of her other books if you love romance. You really can't go wrong no matter which book of hers you pick up. Cant wait for # 3

This is a Cute Friends to Lovers Romance, and this is the second book in the Wild Rose Sisters series. I read and reviewed the first book in this series before I picked up this book. I loved the beginning of this book. I found the romance to be sweet and cute, and I found both the main characters fit together so well. I really loved the characters in this book. I also love the small town feeling that this book as going on. I really enjoyed reading this book. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Special Edition) or author (Christine Rimmer) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Josie and Miles story was great. It moved quickly and was fun to go for that ride. I liked how the relatives all got involved too.

Josie goes into labor while alone on her farm. She travels to neighbor Miles and he delivers her baby. Thus begins their love story that seemed rushed (despite their knowing each other growing up) and shallow. Also, the writing had so much filler about chores and cooking, all with times given.
