LilyI’m a little hormonal right now. Y’see, I found the ring at the bottom of his sock drawer, a modest diamond sitting on a thin, yellow gold band. But now 8 weeks later, it’s gone. He returned it and my once-devoted boyfriend is having second thoughts. Did I mention that I’m pregnant? Anyway, I had to get out of the city and I had nowhere else to go. So, I jumped in my car and headed to … So, I jumped in my car and headed to Reyfield, Illinois. Now I’m working for a grumpy cowboy who sets my hormones into overdrive.
Great. Just great.
Jakob
I like to keep to myself. Just me and my farm. So when a chatty city girl shows up in search of work, I’m hesitant to hire. But with her adorable blond ringlets and her pretty pink lips, I can’t bring myself to say ‘no’.
And did I mention that she’s pregnant?
Anyway, I’ve got to keep my head on straight and ignore the way she sends my libido into overdrive, all while keeping this farm from plunging into bankruptcy.
Great. Just great.

I really enjoyed Jakob & Lily’s story, it has a great mix of romance, comedy, sex and upsets that come with real life.
I enjoyed the style of writing and I will most definitely read more of this author’s books.
Sometimes the ladies in romance novels just scream train wreck! Lily is broke, pregnant, jobless, carless, homeless, and pretty clueless. She decides to drive the car in her boyfriend’s name out of the city to visit the half-sisters she has never met in a small farming community when her boyfriend demands she get an abortion. Her only job experience is as an intern for a fashion blog, so when she sees an add for a live in care giver she goes for it. Lucky for her, the farmer and his grandma that she will be living with start taking care of her while she is supposed to be taking care of them. When Lily and Jakob hit a frenzy of medical bills and roadblocks, the big city job her old boss offers looks pretty appealing. But never bet against the hopelessly in love farmer when it comes to HEA! Happy Reading!
I actually went into this book blind – having not read the blurb. I really had no idea Lily was going to be pregnant! I can honestly say I don’t know that I would normally read a book where the heroine is already pregnant by another guy but once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down! Lily is somewhat of a free spirit in the sense that she picked up her entire life and moved without a plan, without a job, without any money really and is just going with the flow trying to figure her life out after her relationship with her fiancé didn’t quite work out the way she thought it would. Jakob is definitely not a free spirit. He’s a stickler for the rules – you’re late, you’re fired – and is somewhat of a grump, with a farm to run and a grandma to take care of. He’s not very trusting of others and doesn’t give second chances…until he meets Lily! I loved their opposites attract story and they opened each other’s eyes to a new way of living! Jakob’s fierce loyalty and compassion will make you swoon and the chemistry between him and Lily practically burns the pages! I highly recommend this one!
What a fun book to read, I so enjoyed Jakob & Lily’s story! Lily shows up in Reyfield broken-hearted and pregnant. Jakob is just minding his business, delivering milk to his customer, when Lily opens the door to Grace’s home. Their chemistry is evident from the start, steamy & sexy all rolled into a nice little package. Lily takes a job working for Jakob, as an in home caregiver to his grandma Mini. Mini has a spicy tongue and a quick wit, throwing in a bit of wisdom every now and then. She just wants to see her grandson happy and living his life again. I can’t wait to read more of this series! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys their Cowboys tall, sexy and a bit grumpy!
Jakob is a hardworking farmer. When he ends up firing his milk delivery boy he must take on more work on his already busy schedule. That leaves him delivering milk and finding Lily . Both are in need of some serious healing and both deserving of being loved. You’ll fall in head over heels for this love story with a little steam!
I am voluntarily writing this review for this book I received through arc.
Lily boyfriend left her as soon as he found out she was pregnant even though he was going propose as she saw the ring. Now desperate she went to seek out her sisters she had never meet. Jakob couldn’t believe his delivery man is late once again have to do it himself. When Jakob delivers milk to Grace and Faith house Lily was taken with him . Lily has everything pulled out from under her. She is absolutely broke and even the car had been taken the only thing she had was this slip of paper.Lily calls the phone number for a live in caretaker. Boy she was surprised to see Jakob as he was to see Lily at his door. Jakob decided he couldn’t hire her so he takes her back to Grace’s house . When he gets there he tells her she can have the job she will be living there 6 days a week. Lily is starting to show now and Jakob is trying to make her life better. Lily gets a threatening email from her ex to get rid of the baby he does not want a child. He also tells her he never intended to marry her in the first place. Lily tells Jakob about her upbringing dad left when mom got pregnant with her. Jakob tells Lily about his life and all she thought about at the time was the baby. Lily old boss comes and begs her to go back to work for her. Twist, Turns, Old Love, New Love and a whole lot more.
Sweet, adorable, sexy giant Jakob. His heart is so loving. He’s a giver even if he doesn’t want to admit it. Even with his heart guarded from being broken again he couldn’t help but take care of Lily because she needed him and don’t get me going on how he worshipped and looked out for his grandmother Mini. It’s not often that I really like the heroine as much as the hero but in Lily’s case I most definitely did. She was strong and always put the best interest of her unborn baby first. I love the dirty Suburb series but I must admit I’m not found of the older man younger girl oh I mean woman books. That’s why I’m struggling with whether or not to read book seven in the series about Evangeline and Raphael but I’m excited about finally knowing what happened between Grace and Daniel in book eight Dirty Forever.
