Was pretty interesting and kept me intrigued through out the story. Definitely a recommendation from me.

This book was hilarious. I actually had this book preordered so was excited to get to read this. This book follows Trista and Wyatt on a journey where Wyatt has been looking for a surrogate and whe. Things don’t work out for him the way he hoped his niece steps in. This book was a journey because Trista has an awful upbringing which causes her to distant herself from everything except animals and Wyatt realizes how much more he wants with her. It’s hilarious, heartbreaking., feet kicking and giggling and I loved the whole surrogate to lovers trope. I did find myself wishing they had their relationship discovered for more of the book but I overall loved it I even loved how they gave the niece her own POV which made it all the more exciting I’m looking forward to reading about the other brothers

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the copy of this e-book! I absolutely loved Trisha and Wyatt’s story—the slow burn between them kept me engaged from start to finish. The quirky animal characters, especially Milkshake (definitely my favorite), added a much-needed dash of humor that had me cracking up throughout.

While I appreciated the gradual buildup in their romance, I do wish we’d seen a bit more detail in how their relationship transformed in the final stages—it felt a bit rushed. Still, overall, this was a great read and a wonderful addition to my Amy Daws collection (my third, in fact!). Can’t wait to see more of the brothers in the future!

Nine Month Contract was my first Amy Daws book. The fake relationship setup was fun, and the chemistry between the main characters was undeniable. When this book brings the spice, it really brings it—so if you love intense, steamy scenes, you won’t be disappointed!

The banter and humor kept things entertaining, and I liked the emotional depth woven in.

Overall, it’s a solid, spicy romance, and I’d be open to reading more from Amy Daws!

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the e-copy in exchange for an honest review!

3.5/5
I enjoyed the family dynamic the author has created with this family of brothers living on the mountain together, plus Wyatt’s niece is a pleasant addition. What I didn’t fully enjoy was the amount of smothering/general interactions between our MCs and the surrogacy aspect/how it played out. I’m also not a fan of the “happily ever after” type ending they had, especially after only a short amount of time.

So, I’m gonna read the rest of the series whenever it comes out. Because that was some good steam, y’all. And I will undoubtedly go check out her other books and see if those are good. I would say that, in general, it was well-written. Good timing and funny. I felt setups throughout for the next in the series, but that’s kinda fun. It was, of course, predictable in the end, but getting there was interesting enough to keep me reading.

Thank you NetGalley and harlequin trade books for a chance to review this book!

This is a cute book but had some off pacing. The FMC I had loved at times, and others she made me cringe. She kept referring to herself as a cow, and the at home insemination ranch cup was too much. I did enjoy seeing a softer side to a grumpy MMC and seeing the vulnerable parts of IVF/Surrogates. Over all, this book just wasn’t for me!

Amy Daws wrote a very entertaining book. I loved it.
I always enjoy when a book can make me laugh out loud.
Epic characters with great banter.
Sexual tension spilling from the pages, when they finally give in it is steamy.

If you like pregnancy trope and romcom then this book is for you!

⭐️ = 4.5
🌶️ = 2

This book was SO FUN! Thanks my first ever surrogacy story and I love that it evolved into a beautiful romance. The three POV’s were so fun, I loved all the characters, and the setting! So dreamy!

Are you looking for the next spicy romcom? Pick up Nine Month Contract by Amy Daws. This was such a fun book.

3/5 because this book was absolutely not for me. If you don’t mind a breeding and have children, then you’ll probably enjoy this. Anything else I have to say feels mean, and I know there is audience for this book but it isn’t me.

First and foremost thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book. I had a good feeling about it from the cover and boy was I right. This book was a blast. I had so much fun, I read it all in one sitting and am now eagerly awaiting the sequels. Everything about this had me cackling and kicking my feet and I adored it from the banter to the spice. It was awesome! 10/10

This romantic comedy started off as slightly troubling for me to read, especially the insemination portion. Insemination in a romantic comedy is quite difficult to pull off being in such a sensitive topic. I did enjoy the spice and the romance blossoming throughout the rest of the book. The ending was very sweet. I definitely felt that I could envision the characters in my head while I was reading the story. Overall it took me about two days to read this book.

I just finished this one, and it's so cute, so why haven't I given it 5 stars?
Well l, first of all, there are too many spicy scenes I skipped nearly 10-20% of the book even the chapters that don't have spicy scenes have at least some mentions
Second, WHY THE FREAK DOES THE FMC KEEP DEGRADING HERSELF!!! OMG STOP CALLING YOURSELF A COW!!

Thank you so much Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for approving my request 💖

What a fun read and a great take on surrogacy! It was so nice to read from both the surrogate’s POV and the soon-to-be parent, and the love story that was revealed was flirty and fun.

I definitely laughed out loud multiple times- though there were a few cringey awkward moments too. Either way, I recommend for an easy read that’s hard to put down!

This was a cute, easy read with good spice! I definitely laughed along the way too, especially with all the animals. I got a little frustrated with their stubbornness, they almost seemed too opposite at times, but I thought it came together well and ready to see what the other brothers have in store!

Enjoyable enough. Funny and emotional at times. I’m not sure the surrogacy thing was really for me, but I’d read another by the author. 3.5 stars.

4.5 stars ✨ The POVs are perfection in this book. A fresh addition to a rom-com book! I wasn’t sure how I would feel about a surrogacy romance but I ended up loving it! The plot was great, the characters were so fun and I can’t wait for book #2!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved that there were three POVs in this book! Not only did we see two people fall in love and help each other to heal from past traumas by we got the POV of a nosy match making niece. I loved the dynamic between Wyatt and Trista who seemed like a match made in heaven from the beginning (which Wyatt’s niece knew too!) the relationship between Wyatt and his family was heartwarming and showed Trista that she deserves to be surrounded by love like that.

Watching two people fall in love due to forced proximity (and a pregnancy) is always a great time. Watching two people heal past traumas (childhood and adult) without even intending to do so is even better I love when characters teach each other what healthy love looks like and in this case what a close and healthy family dynamic is. I loved the low stakes, no real third act breakup, and minimal drama from minor characters.

Nine Month Contract is book 1 in this Mountain Men Matchmaker new series . Wyatt has always wanted to be a father and now when he is nearing 40 he is willing to do it alone. The only problem is that all of the surrogates that Wyatt has interviewed he knows that they aren't the right ones for him. Wyatt with the help of hie niece Everly helps with the quest of finding the right person to make his dream come true. When Wyatt meets Trista he knows that she is different and she is going to be his lucky 13. Once Trista moves into the apartment above his barn, she knows that she wants more from Wyatt than whats in the contract . Wyatt feels the same pull towards Trista and now see that maybe he will get more than a baby. This is a funny grumpy / sunshine book for any one that loves a good rom-com with steammy scenes to boot! I would like to thank both NetGalley and Canary Street Press for letting me read an advanced copy of this novel. I can't wait for book 2 in this series.
