Former class nerd, Lucy Carr, comes home with a tantalizing offer for hometown hottie Aiden Harper: she’s developed a natural pesticide that will kill off the spider mites eating his crops, and she’ll give it to him for free…if he agrees to father a child for her. Time is running out to go the traditional route for finding a man, and Lucy wants her baby to be smart AND good in gym class. Aiden …
Aiden has put everything he has into his fields of hops, and the award-winning beer he brews with them. But one more year of mites eating half his crops and his family’s farm and legacy—as well as his dreams for his brewery—are going to go under. When Lucy shows up looking hot, and being hailed for her scientific achievements, Aiden is more than a little jealous. He remembers how fun science class was the year they’d been lab partners and how much more enticing Lucy had been than the cheerleaders on the football field. He’d never had the guts to admit his crush in high school—after all, jocks and nerds didn’t mix. Now Lucy has everything, and he’s on the verge of losing it all.
But what starts as a trade of necessity to achieve their goals turns into a tangled jumble of emotions when they realize they might have found more than bugs and babies: they may have found the person who completes their lives.

Really enjoyable story. The kind of book which touches lightly on contensious subjects, but deals with them with humour and maturity. I like the role reversal at the end.

I really enjoyed this new twist on wanting a baby. The main characters were well written and relatable. I loved watching them come together. Aiden was all about family and making sure he could keep the ranch up and running. Unfortunately his crops needed a lot of help. In comes Lucy, a girl he went to high school with but no real past relationship between them. She has a way to help Aiden while getting what she wants in return. Loved the two of them together. Fantastic read.

I have to say, I went into this book expecting a mixed emotions and not much of a true story line. I was SOOOOO wrong! This book was great! The characters were well developed, and I felt like I went through their emotions and their problems right beside them! The Mom was amazing, everything a mother should be and more! Lucy and Aiden made me feel like I could relate with them, and especially how Lucy felt at different moments in the book! I definitely recommend this book!

I loved how intelligent and get what she wants Lucy was. I was happy that she overcame what happened in high school and then what happened again with her ex husband. Lucy was just nerdy enough that I loved her. Aidan was such a responsible and caring person. I was happy to see Lucy and Aidan’s relationship unfold through the pregnancy. The ending made me very happy.

What an interesting plot she wants a baby he needs help with his crops so they make a deal. Now does anyone in their right mind think that is not going to cause some major problems. I liked Aiden, but Lucy should have never listened to her ex because this was not clear cut and she is alright just the way she is. It did not take long to read and I enjoy every minute. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Things are just too hot between Aiden and Lucy as soon as they sign their contract, even though they both try to pretend otherwise. It’s easy to see how quickly Aiden falls for her. And his mother – I really wasn’t sure what to think about here, but it turns out that my first impressions were completely off the mark. It took Aiden and Lucy forever to figure out how to make this thing work – I thought for a good while that there wouldn’t be a HEA here, but I was wrong about that as well, thank goodness.
I love the book and both of the main characters. Make sure you have a tissue or two handy.

A deal’s a deal, until feelings get in the way. Lucy and Aiden make a business deal – her pesticide for his genetics. As with most contracts, the devil’s in the details, and the steam generated in the execution of the contract threatens to blow the whole thing out of the stratosphere. He’s got to contend with his father’s legacy, while she has her career back in the city. They each have to figure out just what they want out of life, and what they’re willing to sacrifice to obtain it.
This story took more than a few unexpected turns on the way to their HEA, making it a truly enjoyable read with more emotional punch than usual. It’s a terrific story with intelligent characters and real-world conflicts, and I highly recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This is a very sweet and sexy read where the past haunts the present.
This book truly shows what small town mentality is, where you have no privacy as anyone know everyone.
Very sweet with a fantastic HEA.

This is one sweet rancher story with a beautiful story line, really wholesome characters – for the most part – and just overall a really sweet story. This is truly a rancher story with obligations and dreams and fulfillement of said dreams. Of course it is never bad either to have a HEA ending to a story. I can at least really reommend this story if you like romances at all.
