Baby Daddy University: Power. Wealth. Babies.You don’t come to Gradus University for the education…. You come to get knocked up by a rich, gorgeous bachelor!Gradus University is the pinnacle of wealth and privilege.I’m only here because a man decided to sponsor my education.His name is Reed Wright, the gorgeous heir to an old money fortune.And without him, I couldn’t afford a school like Gradus.… without him, I couldn’t afford a school like Gradus.
Unfortunately, there’s a dark little secret:
Gradus isn’t just about education.
It’s about landing rich, elite, wealthy men.
They tell me I’m supposed to marry him…
… and maybe let him knock me up.
But we barely know each other.
I mean, this can’t be for real, right?
Baby Daddy University can’t be serious…
Except Reed seems very intent on getting exactly what he wants.
I don’t want to play their game.
Too bad though, because these girls are playing for real.
If I want to keep my scholarship, I’d better start impressing my sponsor.
And it takes a lot to impress a man like Reed.
Maybe it isn’t so bad to give in to a filthy rich older man like Reed.
Especially when I can’t seem to keep my hands off him…
Baby Daddy University… where the rich get married and the students get knocked up.
Oh yeah! Baby Daddy University time! I can’t explain how much fun I had writing this. If you love crazy alpha love, over the top academy/university romance with a little hint of some bullying, this is the book for you. It’s steamy, funny, safe, and of course ends with a sweet HEA! Go ahead, enjoy yourself some Baby Daddy University.

Girls go to Gradus University to be knocked up by a rich bachelor and get married. It is the pinnacle of wealth and privilege. Kayla is there only because Reed Wright, gorgeous heir to an old-money fortune, decided to sponsor her. She does not want to play the game involved in the sponsorship, but Reed seems intent on getting what he wants. Kayla decides it may not be so bad to give in to a filthy rich older man like Reed, especially when she cannot keep her hands off him. – Kayla is naïve and knew nothing about the sponsorship game until after she arrived at Gradus. I liked Kayla and her roommate, but some of the girls at Gradus were mean. I liked Reed, who was sincere and honest. This is a good read but more for younger adults.
Poor story. Unbelievable.
the story line was so different, very interesting
Quick read, rather abrupt ending but overall interesting
Not the most realistic or well plotted book I’ve read.
Great concept. Enjoyable read.
Meh! Disappointing as it never went anywhere. She gets accepted to a prestigious college but doesn’t know she is involved in a secret group of rich older men who choose girls to be their wives and have their babies as they pay for their full ride in college. She is bullied and teased because he picked her. It was just a very dull story
This is an interesting and a bit disturbing take on arranged marriages. A college where the elite older man chooses a young freshman typically privileged woman to “sponsor.” It’s a way to keep all the money and power tied up together.
I like the main characters Kayla and Reed. However, their story seems forced. Reed is digusted with the system but, plays along even though he his determined to keep away from Kayla. Well, apparently he can’t. Kayla is totally in the dark about the arrangement but succumbs to Reed’s advances even after she swears to her parents she will be dedicated to her studies. They want to be together but, not play the game of the sponsorship. There is no way, while Kayla is enrolled at the university and Reed is a sponsor not to play the game. The story does come to a breaking point and decisions are made and that is where is gets real. Sorry I have mixed reactions to this B.B. Hamel book and don’t want to give away too much with all my concerns.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This was an easy to read book but the premise is a bit far fetched. Never the less I enjoyed it and believe others will too. Has a happily ever after that we all look forward to.
This surprised me in spite of having some plot-lines I expected. Instead of Reed being over the top for his chosen girl to sponsor, he actually just wanted to do his financial obligations and walk away. I thought this story might take us through a few years but instead it wrapped up pretty quickly after Reed and Kayla meet.
While this didn’t wow me in any way, it also didn’t leave me snoring in my chair. With some drama and a bit of relationship angst, this was a decent read but I’m not sure if I’d continue on with the series.
Unrealistic
It was great for a steamy novel
Loved the plot of this one!! The idea of a uni where rich eligible men draft young girls by “sponsoring” their education in return of marriage and babies is twisted but with so much potential! What makes it even more appealing is neither Reed not Kayla wanted to play this sick game. By Kayla trying to figure it out what’s going on, Reed wanting to save appearances but at the same time protecting her and knowing her better, the plot develops quiet nicely into the start of a lovely romance. There is a bit of age difference between them but you don’t really feel it, personally didn’t bother me. The story is short but it flows nice & easily!
At first glance the arrangement seems archaic, but the more I thought it through I would be on board if I were Kayla. There are choices and free will. Plus, if I’m honest, I think it’s romantic and hot
The sponsors seem very dedicated to this endeavor. Privileged catty, mean girls are an understatement! Omg! Reed’s family was arrogant and abominable! They treated him like a pawn to be played. Disgusting. Kayla is falling for Reed until the dean mentions the purpose of a spouse and Kayla freaks! WTH! Why was Jayla willing to believe the worst of Reed?? He treated her quite well imo! Love loved the ending. Amazing and uplifting.
Reed Wright comes from a rich and very powerful family who pressure him to be part of ” the Draft” at Gradus University where Reed will pick a girl from a group of ten to sponsor while she gets her education. After 4 years or less, Reed and the girl he sponsors will marry, but Reed finds this whole situation distasteful and plans to pick a girl who will not play the game. Reed only plans to be the girl’s benefactor and walk away when the 4 years are over. With access to his trust fund used as leverage, Reed is pressured to be part of “the Draft” by his family. Kayla Cox is a very intelligent, beautiful girl who comes from a working class family. Kayla has no idea what about the draft and would have never been able to afford to go to Gradus without Reed’s help. Reed sees that Kayla is special. Kayla and Reed are attracted to each other from the start. They want more but know wanting more would be a mistake. Will Reed toss the rules out the window and step in when Kayla needs him? How will Kayla react when she learns the truth about Reed and Gradus University? Can Reed and Kayla find a way to be together when jealous people want to pull them apart? Can Reed and Kayla move past the lies, deceit, and jealousy from others and find their happily ever after? I really liked Winning His Wife by B.B. Hamel. Winning His Wife is a great book full of lies, deceit, jealousy, explosive chemistry, and lots of scorching, hot sex. The characters, the good and the bad, are fantastic. I would definitely recommend getting Winning His Wife by B.B. Hamel. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
Romance on a campus whose elitist goal is quite different
I had serious doubts reading the blurb but at the same time I was intrigued by the universe described: a university in which some girls are chosen to study for free in exchange for dates with the one who pays for it, eventually to marry him. The story hesitates between a cute, romantic side, even steamy sometimes, and a more aggressive one, mixing conspiracy and aggression. The main characters are good, rather nice, even if the heroine sometimes changes her mind within 5 minutes.
From the prologue, we learn that the main character, Reed, is against this system of paying to seduce a girl and marry her, and he chooses to rig the game by choosing on photo, the only woman who is there as an excuse to prove the social diversity, and who would probably not want this rule, Kayla. Although she is not aware of this rule, Kayla wants to take advantage of this opportunity to study for free, but quickly she hates the attitude of the present elite and remains true to her values, getting closer to Reed who seems to be one of the only people she can trust.
Finally, it’s a good start for a series.
