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!

All in all this was fun. I enjoyed the characters and the banter. At times, it was a little cheesy but not enough to completely detour me.

Links to come.

First I would like to thank Harlequin Trade Publishing for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Help Wanted: Grumpy mountain man seeks baby momma. Job is an incubator position only. Surrogate must be impervious to grunting as the form of communication and nosy brotherly neighbors. Rustic mountain range housing available upon request.

What I Loved:
- Brothers, the Fletcher brothers just give me LIFE throughout this whole book, they are all a little different but in the end they would do anything for each other and the people they love and that is just book crack for me
- Wyatt and Trista, the ultimate grumpy sunshine where he 'hates' everything and she can't help but bring light to every situation (mostly with animals) but when it comes to important things they do find their compromise
- Animals, Trista works at an animal rescue and keeps bringing animals to Fletcher Mountain and I was obsessed with the "Animal Count" at the start of each chapter
- 'Friends with benefits', it takes them a while to get to this point but when they do it is HOTTTT and I kind of wanted to shake them both cause DUHHH they were going to want more
- Non-traditional Family, I adore that Wyatt wants to have a child and will do anything to achieve that dream and his family supports him through it all

If you can't tell I absolutely adored this book! It's a solid 4.5 star read with my biggest grievance is how long it took Wyatt and Trista to really 1) admit their feelings for each other and 2) not talk through their past and hesitations. If you like a grumpy sunshine romance with an amazing family dynamic, lots of fun nicknames, banter and spicy hookups then I would absolutely recommend you read this book! Bonus its the start of a series and I CANNOT WAIT to read them all!!

This was a book with a nice surprise. It’s not the usual surrogate romance. In fact, I wasn’t sure where we were going at first. I’m not giving any spoilers now that you didn’t guess from the title but I loved this book. It took me on a little roller coaster which I appreciate.

The characters were well developed. The humor was on point and the human emotion was believable. I’ve never read anything from this author but I’ll be doing exactly that in the future. This book was just released so there may not be many reviews yet but I give it 4.5 stars if possible. Read it and enjoy.

Thank you to Harlequin Romance Publishing for the ARC and this is my honest opinion.

I love Amy Daws and was super excited to read this.

Trista comes from a background where she had to take care of herself, by herself. She's basically alone in the world, except for the animals she adopts and saves from certain death. In walks Wyatt. He's a handsome, broody mountain man and all he wants is a baby of his own, on his own! Trista agrees to be a surrogate for him, knowing she never wants a family. She does however, need money to start her animal rescue. They come up with their nine month contract. What could go wrong?

Both characters are so stubborn and set in their ways, but treat each other so good that they start to chip away at each other's walls. The smutty parts are *chefs kiss*. The angst and wanting are so well written. I really enjoyed every aspect of this book.

This book is a chaotic, hilarious, and heartwarming ride with just the right amount of spice. Amy Daws delivers a rom-com that feels. This is one of my favorite reads and the animals thrown in gave off relatable energy.

What follows is a slow-burn romance full of laugh-out-loud moments, steamy tension, and surprisingly tender emotion.

The chemistry? Off the charts. The banter? Top-tier.

If you love:
• Grumpy x Sunshine
• Surprise pregnancy tropes done right
• Curvy FMC

You need to read this one.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin for this ARC copy. I enjoyed it so much. Just the right blend of sweet and spicy with the grumpyxsunshine trope done to perfection. 4.5 stars!!!

Loved loved loved.
Fantastic book, great plot. Chemestry was amazing.
Truly enjoyed all of this book

I could not stop reading this book. I loved the premise and the chemistry between the main characters was impeccable. Amy Daws hit it out of the park with this book.
