Donovan tried to forget the night with his sultry producer but it was difficult when he felt so drawn to her. Finding out she was pregnant with his child amongst all the catty women that were desperate become his wife was an easy decision to make. He would always put Melissa first without a question. Great continuation of the series.

The book opens with Donovan delivering, an idea to the network heads about using him as a bachelor in need of a wife, quickly.

Of course, their would-be rooms in his home that they would not be allowed in no matter what. His bedroom, his meditational room, his work gaming room, and private gaming room. You see he is the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar video gaming business and a designer. This is a great way to gain media coverage for his business.

Yet, what is driving this venture is the million-dollar bet he has going with his buddy Nick after his other buddy, Brian surprises them and really got married. After the three had sworn off marriage. So, Nick and he bet who would marry first. Donovan did not plan on losing.

On the first day of the pitch, he sees a woman who catches his eye. It turns out to be Melissa, who will be the producer of the show. He asks her to come for a business dinner that same evening so they can go over things for the show. Plus, he can give her the floor plan and which rooms are off limits. She agrees.

Now, three glasses of wine and dinner later she has already figured out going home in her car is a no-no. Where one thing leads to another. Donovan is hard to resist.

As much as Melissa hates the limelight in order to provide a living and do what she loves she may have to make allowances. That could cost the privacy she cherishes. Her baby will be a part of this, and she may have to be a bigger part of the show too. Something Donovan wanted all along so he can have Melissa be the last woman in his life.

The two characters are rather hard to read at times. You do see the depth of their love as well as see it develop. I enjoy the sexual tension and the humorous banter that follows. Even after their so-called one and done. Proving some can hold bigger connections then you first think.

I give this: 4 stars. Provided by netgalley.com.

Hate leaving bad reviews but I just couldn’t get into this one! It sparked my interest with the excerpt but as I began reading I just couldn’t get into it.

Donovan had the full attention of the tv producers. He had spent the last eight minutes going over his proposal. Now he needed to drive it home. He said he needed a wife. So what did they say, could they marry this incredibly handsome gaming CEO -him- for ratings? Donovan had come up with this idea a couple of weeks ago in response to a bet between him and his best friend Nick -whoever found a wife first got a million dollars. Donovan didn’t need the money but he wanted to win. Donovan and his buddies had always seen competitiveness as akin to godliness. He who competes best - and hardest- wins. And what harder bet than marriage. Donovan didn’t care about happily-ever- after. He just wanted the prestige. Being a star on a reality tv show meant automatic publicity for his company Fitz Gaming. They were position themselves to take on the big names in the first person role - playing games with a huge secret and potentially game changing project in the works. This reality show couldn’t have been more perfectly times. Nick had sent one of his own developers to hone a matchmaking app. Melissa introduced herself to Donovan. She was a junior producer at Prospective Studios. She had pushed for the show with Donovan and finally the producers agreed to give her the green light with the program. Than Donovan invited hre to his house to brainstorm and he would provide dinner and she agreed. Melissa got to Donovan's she felt like she was in a Inception - like reality, where she achieved all her career goals in one sweep after asserting herself in her first ever executive meeting that she really attended on accident. She knew Donovan had looked at her approximately ten times and her panties had become toast. She didn’t understand a billionaire like Donovan wanted more limelight. He couldn’t possibly want a wife. She realized as she pulled into Donovan’s house that she had to set some ground rules. For herself. Because he was new territory she waded in. And she could lose control -fast. This show was her priority. She needed to prove to her senior colleagues she was capable of popular, high quality television. The goal was to make it to executive producer by the end of the year. And Donovan could be her ticket to success. Than they ended up having sex. She knew it was wrong but it had been awhile since she had sex. She knew they were about to embark on a six month work project together. Hooking up on the first date was the worst choice ever. Melissa had promised good contestants. Even though technically after she had three organism - which she had - she had signed over her own hand in marriage. After the meeting and sex Melissa made all things return to business. Donovan found himself almost calling to invite melissa over again. He loved melissa’s style, caught somewhere between boho and studio director. Donovan was getting to know Melissa’s sides and they fascinated him. They were on the last ten choices and they only needed six for the show. Melissa attracted Donovan way more than the contestants. It was week two of filming and things were going well on set. At home Melissa was a mess. Melissa found out she was pregnant yet they’d used protection. She already had a problem with jealousy with Donovan wooing the woman contestants. The pregnancy itself wasn’t bad, it was something she’d always wanted, but the situation itself left something to be desired. Than Melissa had to prep Donovan as they were enough into filmt ‘sexy time’ or Donovan hooking up. Donovan was spying on Melissa and heard her talking and she was pregnant. Was it his ? Than Melissa asked him if he was spying on her and he said he was worried about her and than he asked if it was his and she said yes. Than Donovan said eh would be there for his child. He was even excited. Than Melissa said she needed to defer to frank she was too close and now pregnant. Than donovan said eh helped and was there when she called Frank. Frank said he thought that this could be a gold mine. He also added that as far as he could see she had a couple of options as the producer. Either she gets on the show herself or she quietly excuses herself from production. Frank thought the only way the pregnancy was going to fly if it was out in the open She can’t be on the sidelines carrying Donovan’s child. It’s not going to stay quiet. Than Melissa was sniffing but agreed to be on the show. He told her to take the time to figure out how to break the news and incorporate the new aspect. Frank also said he’d be around if she needed him. Than Melissa and two cameramen were filming everything. Every part of her burned with discomfort This was an intrusion but the best course of action. Because she didn’t have a partner and she needed her job. Melissa needed to stay as far away from the limelight as she could. Or she’d go under. Melissa was ten weeks pregnant when the first three episodes of the show were aired to an early screening test audience. They loved the show but they wanted to see more of melissa. The audience was happy for the change. And there’s nothing more dramatic than the baby mama in the midst of searching for a wife. Than Frank suggested she get in front of the camera.
I loved this book. It was a fun, easy light read with just the right amount of angst. I loved Melissa and Donovan together and how they interacted. I was glad how DFonovan reacted on the reality show. I was surprised when Donovan was willing to pay a lot of money to get out of the show. I loved how close donovan and his two best friends were. I didn’t care they bet on who would find a wife and get married first but it was a huge factor to me. Without the bet no Donovan and Melissa. I didn’t want to put this down. This had me from page one until the last page of the book. Another new favorite. I chuckled at times while reading this. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend it.

Ehhhh. I read the whole thing. I guess that’s a positive. It was just a little boring, predictable, and to be honest neither character was like-able.
1/5 stars

This was cute to read, a bit of fun on a sunny afternoon! I did enjoy the story but the ending felt a little rushed, I think it needed more here.

He third and final story in the Billionaires & Babies series, Pregnant by the Billionaire, is a quirky, romantic read. I enjoyed this read, the character interaction and the storyline were engaging throughout

Was this review helpful?

Pregnant by the Billionaire is the final story in this Billionaire trilogy of powerful men and the women who make them weak at the knees. This was definitely my favourite story of the series and Donovan finally meeting his match was a pleasure to behold and somewhat sentimental tale too. A good storyline, great characters and an easy ebb and flow, made this an enjoyable no fuss read.

I really enjoyed Donovan and Melissa's story. It was interesting to read the author's take on the reality show inner workings. I wonder how closely it comes to "reality". Their banter was fun, and they had a great rapport. I wish they had had more time to be a couple, but it was a pretty short book in all.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

I was looking forward to the last book in this series since Brian and Nick had found their soulmate and had babies. Atfirst, I was not sure if I would like Donovan as he had this idea that he would just get married to be married and win the bet. Fortunately, he did not fight his attraction to Melissa and actually was more than ready to have a relationship with her and she was the one that was fighting their attraction.

I was glad that they got their HEA and Melissa realized that she made a mistake when she turned Donovan down. I loved the last chapter when we saw the three families together all together!

The third book in a series, Pregnant by the Billionaire wraps up the storyline perfectly but can easily be read as a standalone. The story follows Donovan, a gaming CEO who has made a bet with his friends that he can get married first. In order to do so, he decides to star in his own reality TV show and hires Melissa to be the producer of the show. Sparks fly immediately, and the two have a one night stand before filming begins. When Melissa realizes that she is pregnant, things quickly become complicated, especially since Donovan feels more attraction towards Melissa than any of the contestants. What follows is a quick, fun and romantic story about the couple’s journey towards their happily ever after.

All three books in the series have been short and surprisingly sweet. Initially, I was worried that there would not be enough time for a relationship between Donovan and Melissa to develop properly, since the couples in the previous books had known each other for a while before things started to heat up. But Donovan was a very likeable character, and it was easy to see his feelings for Melissa grow throughout the book. Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I have enjoyed reading the whole series. If you’re looking for a quick, fun and flirty read that doesn’t go into too much depth but promises a happy ending, this book is for you.
