Synopsis:
Avery Yeung’s biological clock just went off early. Thanks to her family’s medical history, she’s running out of time to get knocked up. And the only guy within donating distance? Her overprotective—and irritatingly hot—best friend. So clearly she needs an anonymous donor…
Anonymous donor? Over Sheriff Drew Flannery’s dead body. While daddyhood will never be in the cards for a man with his past, Drew won’t let Avery shop for a “popsicle pop.” He’ll do what’s right for his best friend by doing his best friend. But only if they do it properly.
But there’s nothing “proper” about it. Between the bed, the kitchen counter, and against his squad car, Avery and Drew are having the hottest sex ever. They can’t get enough of it—or each other. And without knowing it, they’ve crossed the one line that could ruin their friendship forever…

Excerpt:
She glanced up when he got out of his car. “We’re going to be late.”
“Late?” He hadn’t been aware he was on a timetable. Some things weren’t meant to be rushed. Drew wiped his palms on hisslacks, trying not to fidget when she pinned him with a look.
“Yeah, late. Come on. I’ll drive.” She practically herded him into the passenger seat of the Beast and then climbed into the driver’s side. What the hell was going on? He didn’t get his explanation until ten minutes later when she pulled into the parking lot of a fertility clinic. Drew stared at the tasteful sign above the door. Why the fuck were they here? “My swimmers are fine.”
“What?” She shut off her Jeep.
“My swimmers.” He gestured at his lap, wanting to growl when her eyes went wide. “They’re fine. More than able to get the job done.”
“Uh... I have no doubt of that.” She looked like she wanted to be doing anything else but having this conversation. “This is just one of the necessary steps. It’s not because I think your, ah, swimmers aren’t up to snuff.”
Necessary steps. So she must want him to get some tests done or some shit. Drew took a deep breath. He’d said he was down for this, and that meant doing whatever so- called necessary steps Avery needed. Even though it was not necessary as far as he was concerned. He was thirty, not even past his prime.
Whatever. He’d go through whatever tests she needed. Then they’d go back to her place and get this baby-making business started.

My Thoughts:
Drew
Flannery gets some shocking news from his best friend, Avery Yeung. His solution to that news is what will grab
the reader’s attention – but nothing is ever simple. It was a great hook that leaves you with no
choice but to continue the story to its conclusion. If you’re someone that loves the thought of
friends to lovers, you’ve made a good choice with this one.
This
is a book that is part of a series but can stand on its own. After reading Drew and Avery’s story, you’ll
want to catch up on the series if you’ve not read In Bed With Mr. Wrong and His
To Keep. This author knows just the
right combination to give her readers just what they want. She knows not to drag a scene out and how to
create sexual chemistry between her two characters.
What
I love about this author is that her stories are always the right length that a
reader has no chance to get bored by what is happening. Her stories are always fresh – you don’t feel
as if you’ve read that story from her before.
My only disappointment is that I have to wait to see if she’s going to
have another book in this series. And if
you look at when the other two books came out I may just have to wait
awhile. Which is not always a bad thing
because she has so many other books that I can read. Plus, I can always go back and read this
series again.
