An incredible well written fun unexpected romance. This engaging storyline had me addicted page after page with anger, struggles, emotions, hurt, love, romance and undeniable passion in an amazing adventure. The characters are interesting, realistic, and well developed with great chemistry. I voluntarily read and reviewed this fantastic ARC.
This is a great book that I couldn’t put down. The characters were great at first Xander peed me off & I just wanted to slap him but when he was with Ashley after they decided to have a baby he softened towards her he grew on me. Me Spear Xander’s dad was a nasty piece of work & because of him Ashley never wanted to see Xander again & I was so glad she had her friends Mandy & Kara to help her get over him but then her world came crashing down when she found out she was actually pregnant. I was desperate for Xander to wake up & admit to himself that he loved her & he needed to get her back.

An enjoyable read. This story is the book 3rd story in Ranch Boys series. This story is about Ashley and Xander. This story seems a bit off the garden path as far as the series goes as it doesn’t have much of anything to do with Ranches. Xander is the playboy CEO of his family’;s company Spear Enterprises. The company has several varied acquisitions as they are expanding and their most recent is Funland which is the company Ashley’s father built. She always assumed the company would be passed to her so she was anything but happy to learn of the sale. Needing to decompress Ashley ends up having a one nighter at a spa not realizing the hot guy is actually her new boss. An entertaining read and although I haven’t read the previous stories, I will look for them.

An outstanding, fast pace, and enjoyable page-turner! The story line is emotionally deep, well written, well developed, and engaging. There are twists and turns, humour, witty banter, and ups and downs that will keep captivated from beginning to end. Amazing characters; their chemistry between them is off the charts. Definitely recommended.

Ashley has spent her adult career working at keeping her family’s business in a good place. The one time she takes time away from it and a bad food poisoning situation breaks out. Xander is the CEO of his family business but he knows it wasn’t supposed to be him but his brother that took the helm. His father never lets him forget that he isn’t good enough for him. Even goes as far as to tell him unless he gives him a grandchild he’ll lose everything. So he meets Ashley at the lodge his company owns and each time she is somewhere she’s not supposed to be. Finally he gets her to stick around the sauna even thought its the men section and he talks her into a massage. Things get heated during the massage and they sleep together. Ashley leaves the next day to go home ad handle things only to learn her father has sold the company and when she sees the man he sold to she’s stunned because its Xander. Xander can see how bad she wants the company and when things go bad for her Xander offers a solution for both of them. For her to have his child and he’ll let her have her company and he can keep his. However nothing goes as planned with his family and their feelings. Will Xander see that there’s more to life than business? Will they find their way back to each other?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

This book is so full, never a dull moment. Loved Ashley she is such a strong and passionate woman. So full of talent and caring emotion. It took a lot for Xander to come to terms with everything. Loved how he worked it out. Such a great book couldn’t put it down.

4.5 stars. A fantastic, intriguing, romantic, emotional rollercoaster of a read that will have you wondering if anyone will come away with their hearts intact. Ashley and Xander are amazing, well developed characters. You feel the emotions that they go through all the way to the end of the book. The characters are relatable.

This story is a really good and solid romance. It is long enough to take us, the readers, on sidesteps to help us to get a better knowledge about the characters in the story and also to allow us to feel happy not to have fathers like our hero of the story has. OMG what a tool!!! Overall the storyline is good and the characters are as well. This story is very deserving of the four stars I am giving it here.

Great writing, good romance. Xander and Ashley are both fighting for a business to fill what is missing in their lives. Although this is the third book in the series it can be read as a stand alone. I loved the chemistry between Xander and Ashley. They both made some mistakes and they worked them out. I just love books with babies and HEA.

Avery and Xander’s story is beautifully written and is filled with emotion, drama, angst, intrigue, suspense, and love which all leads to an all-consuming page turner, which had me hooked throughout. I highly recommend this talented author’s work for all.

Baby Contract is book 3 in Avery Edwards Ranch Boys series. Aside from overlapping characters from the first books it doesn’t really fit the theme for the series as neither Ashley or Xander have much of anything to do with Ranches. Xander is the playboy CEO of his family’s company Spear Enterprises. The company has several varied acquisitions as they are expanding and their most recent is Funland which is the company Ashley’s father built. She always assumed the company would be passed to her so she was anything but happy to learn of the sale. Needing to decompress Ashley ends up having a “casual” hook-up at a spa not realizing the hot guy is actually her new boss.
Xander’s father is not pleased with him and demands that Xander provide a heir so he dangles Funland in front of Ashley saying the only way she could keep control was to have his baby and hand it over. For whatever reason she agrees and they go to a fertility clinic. The chemistry between them is red hot so things heat up again before long.
I really enjoyed Xanders character. He was a complete and total jerk but did so on purpose. His past and life experiences conditioned him to never let anyone in, never let someone get close or allow things to get real. His feeling for Ashley scare him so he tries to be cruel and push her away. The growth of character he undergoes from the beginning of the book until the end feels organic and not forced. Readers will be able to relate to him and even though he’s not always nice readers will like him.
Ashley is very driven, she has one specific goal and seems blind to everything else around her. Shes abrasive and dismissive to people she feels are below her. She also isn’t the best friend or daughter and pretty much always puts herself first. Her transition into a more aware and caring individual is also nice.

#Funlandisoverparty
This was my first read of Avery’s work. It was an enjoyable story about Ashley and Xander. Ashley runs/is the VP of Marketing at her family’s company. Unbeknownst to her, her ailing father sells off the company (her legacy), to Spear Enterprises company, which is currently run by Xander.
Their first encounter is an unexpected but steamy one (and not just because it starts in the sauna!). He isn’t totally honest with her, and really comes across as ruthless and manipulative to start off with. A bi-product of this is that he offers to give the company back to her if she does him a HUGE favour… hence the ‘baby contract’.
There is drama, miscommunication, meddlers, loyal friends, interesting father relationships, with some sweet love and plenty of heated passion. The grand gesture had me swooning (as I think Ashley did), and proving his real feelings, finally! Hopefully she’ll trust him enough to believe him!
I could do with a follow-up to this story, so I know what happens to them next. It just felt a little unfinished. Or maybe I’m just greedy with these characters, and want more! Four and a half stars.

Manipulations and intense emotions
It’s an excellent romance very well written, quite hot, the most engaging of which is not the action, but in the force of emotions, of twists and turns. The characters are excellent, especially Xander that I loved to hate. The author has managed to make him loved despite all the bad choices he makes to manipulate or betray the heroine Ashley.
Ashley manages an amusement park whose reputation is tarnished when there is food poisoning and she discovers that her father sold the park, all this when she is naked and that a stranger discovers her like that ; man with whom she sleeps on condition of anonymity a few hours later. In short, a fairly epic beginning for her and for this story.
It becomes complicated for her when she discovers that this stranger is none other than the buyer of her business, Xander, an arrogant playboy, manipulator who does not hesitate to get rid of her to force her and get her a promise that would help her to have her business back.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
I received the ARC from Bad Boy Update. I love that this is in the world of Avery’s latest books! Xander is trying to prove himself to his father, though he knows he will never be satisfied with how he runs their companies no matter how hard he tries. Their latest acquisition is just the thing to finally prove himself once and for all, until his father gives him an ultimatum. He needs a heir, and pronto. While back at the Ranch for her best friend’s wedding, Ashley has a smoking hot one night stand with who she thinks is a stranger. Ashley has worked her whole life for Funland and will do whatever she needs to do to keep control, even if she has to deal with the annoyingly hot Xander who turns out to be her one night stand! I love the intrigue, drama and the reluctant love story between Xander and Ashley!
6 Stars – Fascinating storyline!
This storyline was worth at least 6 stars! It was a unique story and was told with engaging and well-placed characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. It held my attention and would not let go until I got to the end of the story. It was a book I could not put down until I was done.
I loved everything about this book!
