34-year-old Ryker Forrest is the all-powerful, stern and imposing CEO of Forrest Holdings, his family multinational enterprise, and very few people are allowed to see his more playful side, but there’s a thing even his nearest and dearest don’t know about him.He has a secret.He might be the most sought-after, eligible, debonair bachelor in the state of New York, but he hasn’t been on a date in … date in seven years.
Not since he met someone that grabbed ahold of his heart and never let go, but she can never know.
He wishes he could tell his best friend about it, but something tells him the guy would be none too pleased if he knew that someone is his little sister.
Izzy Garnet is sweet and shy, the odd one out in a long legal dynasty. She’s a 26-year-old eleventh-grade chemistry teacher that has been called ‘geeky’ more times than she could count, but she’s proud to be a nerd and would never let words slow her down. Her totally-up-in-your-business family thinks they have her all figured out, but they don’t know she has a secret.
She’s been covertly crushing on her older brother’s best friend since the day they met.
Not only Ryker and Izzy unwittingly share a corresponding secret, they also have the same wish: they want a baby. Now.
Dear Reader:
This story has it all.
It’s sweet, filthy fluffiness and it’s SAFE.
There’s NO-cheating, no OW/OM drama, it’s HEA-guaranteed and features baby-making-fever, an innocent but willful curvy heroine that is totally oblivious to her luck, a possessive, just-this-side-of-crazy, over-the-top alpha hero that does more growling than any sexy man should be permitted to do and an off-the-pages, slow burn love that will jump at you from the start and melt your Kindle into a gooey puddle.
So what do you think?
Are these clueless two going to immediately own up to their feelings or will they come up with a wacky plan that allows them to have everything and nothing at the same time?
Option B, ladies and gentlemen. Option B all the way.
I’ve given you sweet heroes with filthy in them, and filthy heroes with a sweet filling, but probably never someone as dirty as Ryker. You have been warned!

This is one of those reads that’s perfect when you’ve been reading longer, heavier subject matter books and you’re just looking for some light, over the top, alpha loving. Much like Alexa Riley, but lengthier and with a tiny tad of angst to drive the story. I really enjoyed it for the break it gave me while also being short enough to complete within a few hours time. The hero and heroine were both extremely likable although the story itself is not one that will ever make itself known in literary circles. And that makes it perfect.
This is my first by this author and I’ll certainly be checking out more from her when I need some syrupy sweet insta everything in my book diet.

This is a quick read with a cute plot. Alpha hero with a sweet side. Both leads have had a crush on the other for 7 years. They didn’t date or even indulge in hookups with others. Izzy wants a family and if she can’t have the man she wants then she will settle for an anonymous donor. Ryker is having none of that. He insists that he will father her baby the traditional way. Both think they can hide their feelings and get what they want. Cute story with a nice epilogue.
Ryker and Izzy have had feelings for each other for years but never acted on them because of her brother. However when Ryker stumbles upon Izzy and sees her planning to have a baby via donation he knows he can’t allow that to happen. He sets about convincing her to let him help her. Together they come up with an agreement to have a child together however Ryker wants it done the conventional way. Izzy worries that the longer she’s around him the more attached she’ll get but with his plans she has no worries because if he has his way she’ll never be leaving. What will her brother do about them being together? Will Ryker convince Izzy that he is in it for the long haul?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is scorching hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Absolutely fantastic! This is an entertaining, captivating, and interesting fast pace page turner! It is a well developed, funny, and well written romance with strong and intriguing characters; the chemistry between them is intense, sweet, and off the charts. Definitely recommended.

This was a sweet read about two people who have had a crush on each other, but neither of them ever said anything. Ryker has kept his distance because he thinks she feels nothing for him and because Izzy’s brother and Ryker are best friends. When Izzy decides it is time to have a baby Ryker does everything he can to convince her he is the perfect man to have a baby with. Izzy soon realizes how much she loves him and how much it would hurt to lose him, so she decides to run from him. Now, Ryker has to convince her that she is the woman that he is in love with. He will not let anything get in the way of getting Izzy back. This is a safe book with a happily ever after. I can’t wait for the next book this author releases.
What a sweet one this one is. This is truly a feel good story, it both felt good while reading it and after as well. If you are looking for a short one which is fun to read and will make you feel good this story might just be it for you! Here we have a storyline that hardly suffers from being on the short side, there were just a few moments when I thought – ok – I would have like some more meat on the bones. I am always certain it must be more difficult to write a shorter version of a story than one with a lot of twists and turns as every sentence has to be so concise, but I am just a reader not a writer so I can only judge on my feelings and point of view i.e. regarding correctness and such. So I am giving this story beautiful four stars.

This was a good light book to read since I needed a break from my usual. It was really sweet and light, and I love reading books with nerdy, geeky, BBW heroines. I truly enjoyed it and will be looking for more from this author.

4 1/2 Stars
No disappointments here with this sweetly intense unrequited love romance. Zero ick factor with plenty of romantic scenes that were sugary sweet and sexy!
Well written, easy to follow with a super likeable and equally adorable couple in Izzy and Ryker.
Everything you could ask for in this genre, and while light and drama free, it was perfect for what I was looking for in a summer romance!

This is a well written book with strong characters in Izzy and Ryker who have had feelings for each other for years but never moved on them due to her brother(his best friend). It’s a sweet and sexy romance with some smoking hot scenes. The author does a great job painting her scenes and moving the story quickly and smoothly. I enjoyed reading their story.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
I love the build up to characters backgrounds and what makes them the way they are. There was some of the build up in the story for the characters, but I feel there could have been more. But, overall it is a great story that is steamy in its scenes. It is heart-warming how Ryker is head over heels for his best friend’s little sister and can not stop thinking or loving Izzy throughout the whole story. The alpha- attitude is panty-melting though with the way Ryker was coming off in the story, for sure!

This book was good but something in this story was unnecessary. Ryker is in love with Isabel for years but doesn’t say anything to her because he’s afraid of losing the relationship he has with her brother the best friend. So when he finds out that Izzy is about to start a family with a sperm donor bank. He wakes up and finally makes his move by letting her know he wants a family and he wants her to give it to me. They could have saved themselves so much drama by just being truthful with there feelings and not waste so much time.

It’s ok for a short read. No real drama or conflict. Sex scenes were there, but not great. The characters are just in their own heads obsessing over their own individual feelings. It’s mostly “I love I love I love” I get it you love, can we please move on? If there were more substance it would have been 5 stars. Just not my thing.
