The Rancher's Baby Bargain

A lovely warming read, sexy but not too steamy. A pick me up romance, standalone with a lovely HEA. The kind of read to make you feel better, warm and cheery, good pacing, nice plot and warm characters.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

This plot sounds too far fetched to work. Aiden needs to save his crop of hops from infestation to have his dream of a successful brewery become a reality. Lucy owns the pesticide he needs. Lucy's biological clock is ticking and she wants a baby now. Aiden has the genes she wants for her child. So why not agree to help each other?

But work it does. It works so well that I didn't want to put it down. Both characters were well defined, Lucy, the high school science nerd who redesigned herself and Aiden the star football player who builds a new life after a football injury ends his dreams.

The author builds the chemistry between them while giving glimpses of what its like to live in a small town where nothing is a secret for very long.

Netgalley provided this book in exchange for an honest review and I can honestly say I am glad they did.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It kept me reading and I wanted to finish it to see what happened. The characters seemed real, even the storyline was interesting. I will definitely look out for more books by this author.

Definitely a great read!

I’m already a huge fan of author Leslie North and now Ms. Jackson as well.

"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. Can two people come together and save the day?”

Authors Blurb:Former class nerd, Lucy Carr, comes home with a tantalizing offer for hometown hottie Aiden Harper: she’s developed a natural pesticide that will kill off the spider mites eating his crops, and she’ll give it to him for free…if he agrees to father a child for her. Time is running out to go the traditional route for finding a man, and Lucy wants her baby to be smart AND good in gym class. Aiden has put everything he has into his fields of hops, and the award-winning beer he brews with them. But one more year of mites eating half his crops and his family’s farm and legacy—as well as his dreams for his brewery—are going to go under.
When Lucy shows up looking hot, and being hailed for her scientific achievements, Aiden is more than a little jealous. He remembers how fun science class was the year they’d been lab partners and how much more enticing Lucy had been than the cheerleaders on the football field. He’d never had the guts to admit his crush in high school—after all, jocks and nerds didn’t mix. Now Lucy has everything, and he’s on the verge of losing it all. But what starts as a trade of necessity to achieve their goals turns into a tangled jumble of emotions when they realize they might have found more than bugs and babies: they may have found the person who completes their lives. 



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.

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.📚💕

The Ranchers Baby Bargain
by Mary Sue Jackson & Leslie North

How do you get a baby from your high school crush? By inventing a new pesticide that kills pink spider mites of course! Lucy grew up in a small town where everyone knew everyone’s business. And fortunately she got his mail by mistake.

Aiden’s legacy is about to fail. Being confident in Lucy’s skill and the proof in the Petri dish, he accepts her proposal. But it’s going to be on his terms. And he plans for his terms to include keeping Lucy who was his high school crush. He just might be man enough to admit it now.

I throughly enjoyed reading this book and I’m willing to bet you enjoy reading about their intense bartering. Aiden are meant for each other, but can they figure that out on their own?

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Relay Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This book has an interesting premise (not believable but interesting!). I liked the characters they weren't perfect but human with flaws. Lucy Carr was the class need and grew up to be a world class chemist, and is willing to trade her brand new insecticide for a baby!! Aid an is a farmer growing hops.for.his real passion beer brewing. I enjoyed this book. 4 stars

If you’re in the mood for a cowboy romance with a touch of drama and heat, then you’d absolutely enjoy “The Rancher’s Baby Bargain” another fantastic book by Leslie North and Mary Sue Jackson. Perfect duo for page turning stories. Absolutely recommend all day long.
