Dylan Hunter has enough responsibility taking care of his family, the family’s farm and building his dream. He’s not looking for anything more, but when his sassy new neighbor makes him an offer he can’t refuse, things just might get more interesting than he bargained for.
This is a delightful, charming romance with plenty of sass, spark and steamy passion. The characters and storyline are well-drawn and highly entertaining. I found this to be a very enjoyable and appealing love story that I found hard to put down. It kept me entranced from beginning to end, with a tempting teaser at the end for “The Troublemaker.”
I grabbed this because the narrators are favorites of mine. The story sounded cute but the clincher was definitely Sebastian York’s sexy voice. Call me an audiowhore and I will agree but some narrators just do it for you. This duo always has my attention. Ever single word! Every story.
The Baby Maker isn’t a new idea but it’s well executed. The feisty enemies to lovers always gets the blood pumping. Add in family drama, exes that should be castrated, and crazy requests…and you get a darn good time! Even if you dont have a bottle of wine to go with the story! The Baby Maker is a fun time for all and the epilogue let’s you just which Hunter man is next on the chopping block!
I adored this story! Emma is getting on in years and has been dealt a vicious blow by her ex-fiancé. She wants a baby but has struggled. Dylan, is from the Hunter family, with apparently super sperm capabilities. She propositions him and a really adorable love story follows.
This book was a cute and fun read. It was very predictable but the name of the book does give away the story. I still very much enjoyed it
I discovered Lili Valente work with Hot as Puck and The V Card, both books had me hooked.
So I preordered without a second of reflexion this one, and much more after reading the blurb.
It is very far different from the two previous ones, but there is a constancy in, her characters are just so real even in their flaws, they are smart, kind and funny.
Dylan and Emma began their relationship on a wrong foot but it does not prevent them to be open and have their opinion evolve the more they pass time together.
What was just a deal, changes quickly for much more than they bargained at first.
So how to face and accept that what was supposed a kind of contract with a short term end can become something inked in time. And how let it know to the other?
But not Dylan nor Emma are teenagers or cowards, I liked they take matter in their hands, even if they make mistakes, they are grown up who doesn’t ran away.
A very good story of two adults who are able to see what they very want for their life.
Hot!

This was a sweet love story, funny in the right places and sexy in between. I liked and enjoyed the story although I didn’t anticipate that the characters hit it off so quickly on another level than sex, because it all felt a lot like the early stages of love – dating, sex, and constant touching. It was altogether really sweet but I’d hoped there was less relationship-feeling so soon into the story.
The characters were both hard-working and determined to get what they wanted – in Emma’s case a baby, for which she even gave up the land both her and Dylan had their eyes set on. There was no drama in this quite simple story and everything was pretty low-key. Emma was hell-bent on getting pregnant and it took me a while to get used to her baby-obsession.
Dylan was quite the charmer. How he was still single was a mystery but he obviously wasn’t looking for any commitment. Otherwise he was perfect husband material and I wish people like him – people that helped others so selflessly – really existed.
Honestly, I was prepared to have a decent tummy workout but apart from a few laughs, there wasn’t much else. All in all it was a sweet romance but that’s about it, it wasn’t an all-consuming book though there’s nothing wrong with that. Maybe I just didn’t get the humor or wasn’t invested enough but if you like easy romance then this is your book.
I read the blurb and was intrigued. I loved the idea of the reputation of the baby maker being a family thing.
I love a good alpha male but I must admit I swooned over Dylan. He was just so sweet, caring and loving. It was very easy to fall for him.
Emma’s biological clock is ticking so hearing the rumor of the magic baby maker she’s willing to make him a deal in exchange for a baby.
I liked these two together they were well suited. Lots of hot lusting sex, they had great chemistry and attraction that you could feel.
Sometimes plans don’t go the way you want and sometimes it’s better when it doesn’t.
Finished in less than 6 hours. Great book. Wonderful characters. Love how friends become lovers.
I listened to this Audiobook and I loved it!! Absolutely love Emma & Dylan!! The narration was fantastic as it always is with Sebastian and Andi. They sure know how to bring an author’s characters to life and do them justice. Loved the story line and every direction this story went in. Just so good! Sweet, sexy, witty, flirty and 100% irresistible. Looking forward to Rafe’s book next!!
I am really starting to fall farther and farther in love with Lili Valente’s words the more books I get to read!!! She is fast becoming one of my one-click authors that I don’t even have to read the blurb or look at the name of the book just know she wrote it and I have to have it. And I need to get caught up on all the ones I’ve missed before I found her!!
And this book I couldn’t get enough of!! I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more and then I wanted to smack some sense into both of them. I finished it in one day because I couldn’t put it down I had to know what happened!! That’s how amazing this story is written!! And I want a Hunter man, or a few Hunter men!!! And I can’t wait for the next book!!! I really hope all of them get there own book too that would be awesome!! I highly recommend this book!!!!
Fantastic book. I highly recommend it.
One of my favorite feel good reads this year so far. Oh the strong swimmers those Hunter men have… Never ever go bareback for fear the one and done would result in a baby for sure. In this book we get to follow Dylan and Emma’s unique arrangement and see how it ends up. Kiki Valente has a wonderful way with words that allows us to skip into the story along side the characters.
This is my first book (audiobook) by Lili Valente and it was a great read..
Emma moves to CA. The wine country to run her own winery, escaping from the big city, she found herself loving her new life.. more easy, less stress and traffic.. but not everything was so easy and fine with her.. her biological clock was ticking and her biggest dreams was to become a mother.. but with no sutoirs on the horizon.. she is afraid she won’t fulfill those dreams.. Until she hears about the legendary Hunter Men.. she doesn’t know if this Fertility legend is real or is just a rumor around town.. until she meets him.. the handsome neighbor with the body of a Greek God..
will she be able to resist him, will he be able to refuse her?
Dylan is a handsome farmer in the wine country, working hard helping his father and siblings to save the family land.. His dream is to be able to build his own brewery. but a beautiful new neighbor, is on his way to achieve his dreams.. A city girl who doesn’t know anything about land and wine .. or at least that how Dylan thinks.. Dylan is in a tricky situation because not only Emma is sweet and beautiful, he can’t stop fantasizing about her, he can’t stop wanting her…
Will Dylan accept Emmas Offer?
Dylan and Emmas story is fast/slow, you could feel there chemistry sparkling all around when they were together.. you get to see them falling in love, braking and changing wrong ideas about each other, specially Dylan.. they’re funny, strong and great characters to love..
looking forward to read more books by Lili Valente..
Single, independent Emma wants a baby. She doesn’t necessarily want the man that goes with having a baby so when she hears just how virile the Hunter men are, she has the brilliant idea of coming to an agreement with Dylan Hunter. She just needs to convince him that their agreement could benefit them both.
This was such a fun read. The banter between Dylan and Emma is brilliant and both characters are really easy to like. Dylan is a sweetheart and if the other Hunter men are like him, than I definitely need to read their stories.
Dylan Hunter has just about reached his goal of doing what he wants with his life after putting his life on hold to take care of his family. The last thing to accomplish is to purchase the pumpkin patch owned by a neighbor so he can put in vines again to appease his dad.
Emma Haverford is putting a clink in his plans by also bidding on the property. After she caught her fiance cheating she leaves her past behind to start over.
Emma has a deal for Dylan, one of the rumored baby makers. She’ll give up on the property if he’ll provide her with her deepest wish of a baby. She’d like it no strings attached. It really took a lot of nerve for Emma to approach him as he’s given her the impression that he doesn’t like her. He doesn’t even know her more than to know she is also a neighbor.
Dylan is a wonderful man who puts his family above his own needs and wants.
Dylan actually ends up pursuing Emma, which was a nice twist in this story. Their bantering added a layer of humor. I thought that was great. It also lead to some underlying heat that added another layer.
You can definitely tell that Dylvan and Emma were more mature than the norm. I was impressed how they both approached the possible arrangement. Neither one is stupid and nor is Emma desperate. She just has goals in life that she would like to accomplish.
I like that the story was told by both their points of view so you got to know what each one of them is thinking. It made me connect more to the story.
I love Dylan’s dad and his brother, Tristan and Rafe. Though Rafe comes across as a bit of a manwhore. We were also introduces to Emma’s sister, Carrie.
I’m looking forward to reading the next book. I hope Carrie gives Rafe a really hard time
The Baby Maker is an adorable, fun, sexy-as-sin romp that had me engaged and entertained the whole time! Lili Valente TOTALLY “knocked” this one outa the park!
I absolutely fell in love with both main characters, Emma and Dylan, and the plot had me turning the pages quicker than I wanted! I couldn’t put this book down until the very last word! Even the secondary characters were fully engaging and made me want to move to Mercyville!
If you like your reads FULL of fun, emotional, with a “take-no-prisoners”, strong-willed heroine and a swoon-inducing, charismatic, HAWT hero that’ll have you alternately laughing your butt off, fanning yourself and struggling to NOT fall hopelessly, head-over-heels in love. then THIS is definitely the book for YOU!!! I can’t recommend this one highly enough!!!
