For as long as she can remember, Claire Baldwin has dreamed of seeing the world. For a small-town girl it might seem impossible, but she’s already seen more of the world than she ever expected, and her skills as an interpreter promise more adventures to come. When sexy billionaire Archer Preston needs someone to interpret businessmen from China, Claire’s skills are more than up to the task. Not … Not only can she understand and speak their dialect, she’s also pretty good at interpreting Archer’s obvious attraction. When he suggests a no-strings affair, Claire accepts, knowing that Archer would never want anything more. But all her dreams come to a screeching halt when she finds out she’s pregnant—with twins. Thankfully, she and Archer still agree that love and marriage are definitely not in the picture. After spending more time with Archer, though, Claire begins to realize she might want that picture to include a family portrait.
Archer may not be entirely thrilled to know he’s going to be a father, but he’s committed to being in his children’s lives. Though the thought of settling down makes him more than a little queasy, he’ll take care of Claire, give her a place to stay at his house, and make sure his babies are healthy. Just so long as his relationship with Claire is strictly platonic. Which it is…for about a week. Seems they just can’t fight the searing attraction between them. Before Archer knows it, he’s fighting more than just a simple attraction to Claire. He doesn’t love her, does he? Just the thought of spending the rest of his life with one woman sends him running halfway around the world, and Claire can’t follow. If Archer doesn’t realize what’s really in his heart, he just might lose the only woman he’s ever truly loved…

Boss and employee have a no strings attached arrangement. Things get hot and heavy but Claire is determined to keep her independence. Archer has to figure out what he wants. Love how both characters need to work things out between them which is what makes this realistic. I didn’t care for how fast the transition between they having sex to Claire being pregnant took place. Great story that I couldn’t put down and had to read in one sitting.

Last but not least, I think this was my favorite out of the series. Instead of opposites attract these two have a lot in common. I love her independence and determination in spite of her situation. I think his “relationship” expectations are in need of checking and she opens his eyes to himself. I enjoyed reading their romantic story and the experience of their highs and lows. Just as an honorable mention, Collette is one of those meddling “love to hate” mothers, she takes protective to new levels, she brings intensity & stirs up feelings of…. some kind.

Third and final book in this series about the Preston Brothers and their logistics company. This time Archer was trying to take the company international to China, and he was in need an interpreter. The agency they used sent Claire Baldwin. Immediately, she was an asset to the project, and there was an attraction between them, but on their first encounter they agreed no strings attached.
Claire was one strong independent woman with her own plans, and she was not afraid to let anyone know it even if it was Archer’s mother, which made for an in-depth character. The plot was created over the entire series even though each book was standalone. All characters are well developed. You will stay on the edge of your chair waiting to see what will happen next as the story unfolds. I highly recommend this book.

Watching as these two independent career minded folks who do not want any romantic entanglements have to deal with what life’s thrown at them makes for a great read!
The Billionaire’s Pregnant Employee is the last book in the Preston Brothers series. Claire and Archer’s story is one of struggle of what they want and what they think they want.
Together, Claire and Archer make a great team as they work together to close the deal. Even though they have no plans become a couple fate has a way of pulling you together. Separately their worlds fall apart and they feels empty.
This was an amazing series that showed how the men with all their flaws, could still stand up and be who they needed to be

Archer is CEO of a company that plans to partner with a Chinese company. When the Chinese come to negotiate the deal, he needs an interpreter for Yue. The agency sends Claire to him, an ambitious young woman. After the deal is coming together, they celebrate and start a no-strings-attached affair.
But soon Claire finds out she is pregnant. Archer, although a little shocked, wants to be part of his child’s life.
The story is fairly cookie-cutter, but still entertaining to read, as the feelings of the characters are mostly believable (They do go overboard a time or two….)
