Publisher Description
Bennett Blisswood wasn't searching for more. But a surprise pregnancy has him thinking that fate has other plans…
The one-night stand with Kelsey was my comfort when I needed it and the escape we wanted. The friends-with-benefits arrangement that followed was our fun —barn trysts included. No strings, simple, and easy. That's us. Except Kelsey just threw multiple sticks with two pink lines at me. Looks like our best-laid plans have hit a plot twist.
Now, we've been thrown together on a deeper level as we are about to become parents.
With no hesitation, I'm stepping right up for her and our kid—even making a crib with my bare hands. Of course, the town gossip mill is in full swing as they attempt to figure out the relationship status of Kelsey and me, and they're not the only ones confused. Kelsey is beautiful, stubborn, and makes me want things. Call me traditional, but I make my intentions about our future very clear. She thinks her growing belly blinds me, but her hesitation about us only challenges me to prove her wrong. And if she takes a chance on me, I can't let her down. That's the last thing I can do. Because I'm beginning to feel that Kelsey and me… we may just be something more…
This friends (with benefits)-to-lovers, surprise-baby romance is the second standalone book in the small-town Blisswood Brothers series that follows the brothers as they run their family winery and farm, Olive Owl.

4 Stars for this cute friends-with-benefits romance!
Bennett and Kelsey are just too cute together. They tried to be so sneaky with their friends-with-benefits relationship. I loved the strong woman that Kelsey was ... she didn't want to be dependent on anyone ... not her parents or a man .. no one! Then there's Bennett ... who wouldn't love him ... no really who? All the Blisswood brothers sound like hunks. This book made me laugh-out-loud at the situations Bennett and Kelsey found themselves in. Then there were the steamy scenes ... all I can say is WOW! The author set up the rest of the books in the series quite nicely and I can't wait for the next one.
I received an early copy courtesy of the author through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
