Who May Not Like This Book:
Some readers might find the premise a little far-fetched or uncomfortable, especially if you’re not into plots centered around pregnancy pacts or the friends-with-benefits trope. The story leans heavily into steamy scenes and witty dialogue, which may not appeal to those who prefer angstier or slow-burn romances. Additionally, if you prefer more nuanced explorations of relationship struggles or less predictability, you may find the plot a bit formulaic.

From The Publisher:
There are three little words most guys don't want to hear on the first date. Not those... I mean these... "knock me up."This single gal has had enough of the games, the BS and the endless chase. I know what I want most, and it's not true love. It's a bun in the oven, and I'm not afraid to hit up my sex-on-a-stick co-worker to do the job. Ryder is gorgeous, witty and charming - and he's also a notorious commitment-phobe. That makes him the perfect candidate to make a deposit in the bank of me. I won't fall for him, he won't fall for me, and there's no way baby will make three. Right?****There are four words every guy wants to hear on the first date - "your place or mine?"When my hot-as-sin co-worker makes me a no-strings-attached offer that involves her place, my place, any place - as well as any position - I can't refuse. Besides, I've got my reasons to take her up on her deal even with her one BIG condition. There's no way I'll want more from one woman than any position, anywhere, any night? Except . . . What if I do?

This was a really cute read. I liked the hero and heroine very much, and only mildly lost patience at the end, when I wanted to shake them both until they spoke to each other. But otherwise, it was a lovely, sweet read.
