Avery Yeung’s biological clock just went off early. Thanks to her family’s medical history, she’s running out of time to get knocked up. And the only guy within donating distance? Her overprotective-and irritatingly hot-best friend. So clearly she needs an anonymous donor…
Anonymous donor? Over Sheriff Drew Flannery’s dead body. While daddyhood will never be in the cards for a man with his … man with his past, Drew won’t let Avery shop for a “popsicle pop.” He’ll do what’s right for his best friend by doing his best friend. But only if they do it properly.
But there’s nothing “proper” about it. Between the bed, the kitchen counter, and against his squad car, Avery and Drew are having the hottest sex ever. They can’t get enough of it-or each other. And without knowing it, they’ve crossed the one line that could ruin their friendship forever…

Baby making for best friends
I just knew that Drew & Avery had a new dynamic coming. Such a great story. Fun & flirty with its serious notes. Drew’s dealing with his past had my eyes welling up. Thank goodness for the HEA.
Simple, quick read, steamy contemporary romance. People always say they’re looking for their significant other that will also be their best friend, but in Romancelandia, the characters never initially see it that way. Avery, the heroine, who is feisty and single, is looking to get pregnant ASAP due to family health issues. Her BFF, Drew, thinks he’s the only man who should be allowed to get her pregnant, and with that the line from friends to lovers is crossed. Avery and Drew’s chemistry is on fire. With some comedic elements, fun witty banter, and the overshadowing of their individual family issues, the story is well rounded in how it all plays out.
Avery Yeung and Drew Flannery’s story is totally tangled up. They are best friends. They grew up together. They live in a small town where everyone knows everyone else.
Avery has health issues that run in her family. They make her worry about her chances to have a baby. They also make her worry about contracting cancer.
Drew is the Sheriff in their town. He was hurt in his past by a father who was the town drunk. His job calls him out and he does not always have time to be with someone.
Their friendship is solid and they can count on each other. Despite Drew making a reputation for himself, Avery knows he comes when she calls him for help. Now, when she wants to have a baby – he wants to kill any man that may touch his best friend!
Drew has had feelings for Avery for some time. He is just in denial of why or what to do. He is attracted to her and she to him. They just do not want to lose their friendship.
When they decide to make a baby together, since there is trust there, it changes everything. Suddenly they cannot keep hands off one another. Can love conquer all? Can her tell her the truth?
Very sweet story and I love the banter! The honesty with these character is also amazing. This is the 2nd book in the Out of Uniform series.
