I recently started this book, but after some oddly placed comments sexualizing children, I was unable to continue reading this book. I thought the idea of it was really cute, but the execution fell way off the track for me. I appreciate the opportunity to read this book, but this book was not for me.

5 ⭐️ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

I loved this book so much! I laughed out loud, felt all the feelings and couldn’t put it down! This is my first book I’ve read with a surrogate troupe and I loved everything about it!

Top this off with Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon in duet narration! Perfection!

A not so accidentally pregnant surrogate will unexpectedly fall in love with a mountain man. A contract is the only thing preventing two people from falling in love. Will Wyatt and Trista discover they both desire the same thing but the only obstacle is admitting the truth. Will they ignore family expectations and pursue their own dreams to finally have what they really want?

A smokin' hot sexy romance that proves love conquers all.

From the character arcs to the fun, quirky, and at times emotionally tugging plot arc this is a series that I can't wait to read more of.

.

I read this ad an indie book, and have been looking forward to the bonus content and the new cover and edges. This did NOT disappoint.

The way that surrogacy is handled with respect and humor at the same time is such a wonderful blend. I love all of the characters, and can't wait to read more.

Who doesn't love a meddling niece and gorgeous mountain men brothers?

The body positivity is also nice as a curvy woman who underwent fertility treatments.

I highly recommend this book to everyone.

I had a lot of fun watching Wyatt and Trista navigate their pregnancy and deal with the growing tension. The added animals were also fun! This was super spicy and had some emotional moments I had a blast.

I was so excited for this book. I love reading about new relationships, babies, surrogacy, tough guys that are actually sensitive deep down.. you get the idea. This books started off ok, but I never really started to like the characters. Then, just as the romantic love started, the author skipped over anything that could be sweet and enjoyable, and fast forwarded the relationship, then ended the book. I was disappointed that I couldn’t actually enjoy some of the romance. The book was very spicy, so that was a plus. Overall though, I just didn’t love it.

I really enjoyed this! Trista was so funny and relatable (except calling herself a cow??) The side characters were also so well thought out and fun (Evie being my favorite). I can’t wait for the rest of the books in this series!

I had to dnf it at 5%. I just couldn't cope.

So the author gives an author's note about being very mindful about surogate etc she wrote in this book nd in the first chapter she has an 18-year-old girl being the mastermind behind finding her uncle a surrogate?

Are you kidding me?

Not to mention the very misogynistic, degrading, and a horrible ad she apparently wrote on behalf of MMC who knew nothing about it.

Absolutely not.

I know the accidental pregnancy trope or any pregnancy trope in general might not be a popular choice for some but I personally loved this book!

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I will say it has some pretty spicy scenes and a couple of them were a little over the top for me.

Trista wants to start an animal shelter and has been rejected from a surrogacy agency until she runs into Everly, Wyatt’s niece. Wyatt has also been basically dismissed from his surrogacy agency because he wants to be a single dad. He lives on a mountain with his two brothers and doesn’t want the complications from a relationship to become a dad. He meets Trista and his gut tells him that she’s the one that will carry his child. They decide to go ahead with it and conceive a child together. Those scenes are pretty hilarious. Trista grew up with a pretty checked out family, while Wyatt had the most supportive family. All Wyatt wants to do is support Trista through this pregancy. While doing that, things get complicated.

Thank you to NetGalley, author, and publisher for a copy of this eARC.

This was such a chaotic and fun grumpy vs sunshine! We have a burly mountain MMC and a silly and entertaining FMC. This is a surrogate/pregnancy trope with SO much 🌶️ 🔥 omg there were moments where they had me BLUSHING 🤭 This is an instant attraction story. I’m looking forward to the next in the series 🥰

This book just wasn't for me. I didn't enjoy the humor, and I felt no connection to the characters. I'm sure other people will love this book, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

Absolutely loved this book. I read it here and had to purchase the book. Wyatt and Trista's story had me laughing and crying. I was rooting for them from the beginning. I could not get enough and did not want to put this one down. I am forever a fan of these two.

Omg I loved this book so much!!!! Pregnancy tropes I am not usually a fan of but this is a unique twist to that and once it picks up the romance is oh so good and so emotional!!!!!!! I loved it so much!!!!

Wyatt Fletcher had a barn E I E I O.
And in that barn he had a goat E I E I O.
With a sweet niece here,
And meddling brothers there.
Here a plot,
there a plot.
Everywhere a scheming plot.

Then he met Trista E I E I O.
And she brought more to him. E I E I O.
With a baby here,
and a bunny there,
Here a pet,
There a pet
Everywhere some cute pets.

Of course they are attractive E I E I O
And they are attracted E I E I O
With some tension here and some passion there.
Here a look,
There a touch
Everywhere a look touch.

Okay, okay. Sorry. You all can enjoy that little earworm which I will be singing to myself for all eternity (don't worry karma is already biting me for that one!).

All in all this is a pretty cute romance. I plan on reading more in this series and recommend it to those who like romances.

Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Canary Street Press, and Net Galley for the DRC. All opinions are my own.

I actually read this prior to receiving a free copy through netgalley--and while I loved the concept, the book fell a smidge flat. Overall, I found the circumstance a bit juvenile, and while I liked the MMC, the FMC grated at me. Some of her internal monologue felt childish, and sometimes their relationship felt a bit too surface level for the fact that they were around each other for NINE MONTHS before they decided they wanted to stay together-stay together (for good).

I do recommend you give it a shot if the summary sounds interesting to you, and I'll be giving the second book a shot just to see if it gets any better because I'm unsure where this companion-series could go from here. But overall, not as good as I'd hoped it to be.

Love this story! This author has written another wonderfully funny, romantic, unputdownable book. It took a subject that many don't look at from the man's perspective and made it relatable. I enjoy everything this author writes and can't wait until the next book about the brother is available. I do hope that the characters from this story make an appearance in helping the brother find his person.

The goat... the pig... the bunny... I loved the animals in this book! Although the approach to surrogacy was a little unconventional here, it was a fun and easy read with a beautiful setting and great characters.

This was a refreshingly sweet rom-com with two main characters, Wyatt and Trista, that would have never met if it weren't for Wyatt's niece Everly,

"Help Wanted: Grumpy mountain main seeks baby momma." Now if that does not get you interested in devouring this rom-com, I don't know what will! Wyatt was burned by a woman years ago but has always wanted to be a parent. Pretty hard to do as a mountain man who doesn't date or even socialize all that much. Trista is a down on her luck woman who just wants to earn enough money to open her own rescue shelter for unwanted farm animals. Enter Everly, Wyatt's niece. She just wants to see her uncle happy and in love (and having a baby) before she leave for college in Ireland next fall.

All of the characters are very well developed and loveable, especially Wyatt and his brothers. The setting is absolutely a dream: a small town in the Colorado mountains where everybody knows your business before you do. Enjoy!

I need to read more Amy Daws books.
As usual, Amy Daws gives us a badass heroine and a swoony hero. It was so nice revisiting Max, Cozy, and Everly too. I loved this except for the Robyn parts. Just a little odd for me. Can't wait for the next book!
