Summary

A small town spicy romance about a gruff mountain man and the fiery animal-rescuing surrogate he hires. It's sure to hit you in the gut with laughs, feels, and mountain man grunts.


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 neighbours. Rustic mountain range housing available upon request.

I wanted to pummel my irritating brothers when they posted their own version of a wanted ad to help me with my life.

But I can't fault the results once the right woman lands in my lap.

Becoming a single father is not a decision I made lightly. In fact, it's the biggest decision of my entire life.

Which is why when I interview Trista, I know she's perfect.

She's wild, she's opinionated, she wears cowboy boots. Even my pet goat loves her...

She's the exact type of person I was holding out for.

And to my great horror, I realise on our first night of attempting this baby-making dance - when the lights are low, the cheap wine is flowing and the home-insemination supplies are laid out on the kitchen counter - I want to do a lot more than just make her my surrogate.

I want to make her mine.

Yay for duet, but the vibes could be better.
I like Teddy Hamilton in the right context but this wasn’t quite right to set up the story. Yes, this character is a grumpy mountain man, but it was more murderously angry at everything vibes, rather than the quiet and grumpy vibe I think the author was going for. It works in a dark romance, but not an inner monologue reminiscing about your niece growing up. Like, chill. Nobody is listening, so you don’t have to be broody, you can add some fondness in there. And his ‘broody’ is still too much here. You get used to it and it becomes less murderous but yeah it’s off putting at the start.

Duet, Yay!

pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I laughed, I cried, and although it was obvious from the start they would end up together, like all these kinds of books, the journey was different and special.

great read

It’s been awhile since I’ve enjoyed a book so much. I could not put this down. This is so full of comedy between the two of them but also heartache and past traumas. I’m so glad the FL opened herself up to the ML, he wanted to love her and care for her. She just couldn’t accept it until she was ready. I love the idea of this book, being a surrogate and falling in love to get the family they both wanted. The narrators were perfect.

Absolutely love this book
