From Amazon #1 bestselling author Amy Daws, comes an all-new small town, spicy romance sure to hit you in the gut with laughs, feels, and mountain man grunts.

Help Wanted: Grumpy Mountain Man seeks baby momma. Job is an incubator position only. Surrogate must be impervious to grunting in the form of communication and nosey brotherly neighbors. Rustic mountain range housing available upon request.

I wanted to pummel my irritating brothers when they posted their own version of a wanted ad to help me with my life.

But I can’t fault the results once the right woman lands on my lap.

Becoming a single father is not a decision I made lightly. In fact, it’s the biggest decision of my entire life.

Which is why when I interview Trista, I know she’s perfect.

She’s wild, she’s opinionated, she wears cowboy boots. Even my pet goat loves her…

She’s the exact type of person I was holding out for.

And to my great horror, I realize on our first night of attempting this baby making dance…when the lights are low, the cheap wine is flowing, and the home insemination supplies are laid out on the kitchen counter…

I want to do a lot more than just make her my surrogate.

I want to make her mine.

Nine Month Contract is a 116,000 word small town, pregnancy, single dad wanna be standalone romance.

Goodreads Amazon

“I’m finally going to sleep with the man who knocked me up.”

I love Amy Daws, but this one unfortunately just didn’t work for me–which really sucks because I was really looking forward to this one! It really came down to characters and not being about to fully invest in them or believe them. I couldn’t connect with our FMC nor our MMC and found almost every POV to be annoying at one point or another while reading, which brought me out of the book. Lastly, I found a lot of the descriptions to be very much cringe prone and just awkward, which really left me disconnect with the story as a whole.

I love the family dynamic, and it made me do happy dances to see such a healthy relationship between the brothers and those around them. At times it gave off found family vibes for Trista (our FMC) which was a fun little moment as she found her place amongst the Fletcher brothers.

As I said, this book is just not a right fit for me, but I know a few people who received this ARC and absolutely loved it to bits, so if you are in the mood for a romcom-esque pregnancy romance with a mountain man and his crazy family, I think this one just might be for you!
