Sometimes a surprise baby can lead to unexpected happy endings.***It started one night in Vegas over a naughty cocktail and dirty banter. Eight months of bedded bliss later, Gilly Nelson says the two words Ezra Baker never saw coming:“I’m pregnant.”Twice-divorced Ezra has always acted first, thought it through later. Except in Gilly he finds an equal; a strong-willed, independent woman who … strong-willed, independent woman who doesn’t need his money or kind heart to get ahead. She just wants him.
Career-focused Gilly never imagined she’d be thirty-five, single and pregnant. Except when Ezra suggests they date rather than just mate, she finds herself wondering whether the man she’s been looking for has been in her bed all along.
If they can survive raging hormones, house renovations, and the realities of childbirth, surely creating a family will be a walk in the park…right?

I absolutely loved this book! Such an amazing story. Gilly & Ezra’s inner dialogue, as well as their banter, was absolutely hilarious!! Full of heat, heart, humor and definitely intriguing, this book is an absolute must read. A heartfelt and heart-warming romantic story, that will keep you riveted from the beginning until the end. One of those books that had me cracking up and gave me butterflies at the same time!
too much sex
nteresting characters and family dynamics. Funny moments. Keeps your attention and interest in dynamics of each relationship. Fast reading and ready for next one.
Not a stand alone. This book is mainly in jokes and continued stories of previous characters. Gilly is okay, Ezra is perfect–waaay too perfect. But the majority of the story isn’t about them–it’s about Roni and Faith and Skye and Marcy who I know nothing about. To be honest I’m not interested in reading about them either.
Ezra and Gilly are fantastic characters. Loved the interaction between the Cook and Baker families. This author made me laugh any times during this story. It made me want to be a part of their family.
You will love this book!
pure trash. Too much raunchy sex
I enjoyed this book. The banter between the siblings and others was quite entertaining!
The house “flipping” dialog was strange and there were too many characters that clouded the main characters actions.
Ezra and Gilly
First, I love the names Ezra and Gilly. This book will become one of your favorites, if you are into sweet couples starting their families. I just could not give this book five stars because it was slow at times. Had a great and exciting ending.
It had it’s up and downs. She loves him. He loves her . they know this but are afraid to move on it? Even with a baby coming? The book took her confusion to extra lengths. I got tired reading it.
Fun, captivating entertaining read.
An entertaining story with wonderful characters.I loved it!
Good, not something I need to read again like so many other books but an easy read.
This book was very entertaining, lots of laughs!
Great series
Story dragged after several chapters.
HOLY SWOON! A feel good romance that is sexy, sweet, funny, and completely heartfelt. The chemistry was off the charts. Witnessing the bond between this group of family and friends was extremely heart-warming.
Working for It is the 5th book in the Cook Brothers series. What a bittersweet end to this series. I loved Gilly and Ezra! I’ve been anticipating Ezra’s story from the beginning of the series and it was SO good! As with every other book in this series BJ Harvey knocked it out of the park with her signature humor and all the banter, wit and charm between the Cooks and Bakers I have come to love. Gilly is amazing. I loved her strength and confidence. She knows what she wants and goes after it. She is strong and I loved the way she stood up to her parents. Gilly is also Ronnie’s sister (from Work Violation). I loved catching up with her and Jax and their family and all the crazy antics that comes along with them. Ezra and Gilly have incredible chemistry. They embark on a purely sexual relationship initially until a surprise pregnancy has them slowing things down and questioning whether or not they could have more with each other. Ezra is charming, sweet and funny and really knew how to step it up and bring the romance to their relationship. Everything about these characters fit so perfectly and the ending was the best especially the epilogue. BJ Harvey has written an incredible series with these Cook Brothers and she has become a new favourite for light, sweet and steamy rom-coms. I cannot wait to read more of her work in the future.
Ezra Baker has been married and divorced twice, and is just looking for a good time. In walks Gilly Nelson, she too is looking for no strings, fun between the sheets. They have known each other for a while, as Gilly’s younger sister is married to one of the Cook brothers, Ezra’s business partners. Eight months into their “friends with benefits” Gilly tells Ez she is pregnant. He stupidly proposes marriage, which just pisses her off! Now he must spend the next seven months making Gilly realize they are meant to create this beautiful family together.
This book was laugh out loud funny, with the entire cast of characters from all four books getting to say their piece. It was lovingly written with this couples future in mind and it was so sexy and steamy, I think it melted my Kindle!! I am sad to see this series end, but I am so excited for Skye’s brothers to find their happy ever after next! Check out anything written by BJ Harvey, she keeps you on your toes and you laugh your A$$ off! Enjoy!
Unexpected bundle of joy causes both Gilly and Ezra to re-evaluate their life’s journey. I had a great and fun time reading their story. The chemistry is undeniable between the characters and the storyline flowed smoothly.
