Publisher Description
I only saw him as my best friend's little brother . . . until I married him
Getting pregnant before the wedding wasn't my plan, but surprise! Then my fiancé (correction, ex-fiancé) tells me to take care of the problem. And that's how he becomes my ex.
But being a single mom in this small town won't be easy. Maybe not even possible. I'm a large animal vet. It's not like I can take my baby to work with me.
Then my best friend's younger brother drops to one knee and proposes so that I won't be a single mom.
After hours of pondering, I accept Parker's impulsive proposal.
Romance has never been part of our relationship, but he treats me better than anyone I've ever dated. He's caring, protective, and more than a little good looking. Way more than I deserve.
But I really didn't think about the day-to-day of married life. Or what it would be like to see him without a shirt all the time. He's no longer the scrawny kid who liked to tag along. He's a full-grown cowboy and quickly becoming my best friend. (Well, my other best friend)
Just when I think maybe a happily-ever-after is possible, tragedy strikes.
Now that there's nothing to save me from, I have to let him go. But walking away from my knight in shining armor will absolutely shatter my heart.

Crushing on Parker
What a wonderful book! These characters are some of the best I’ve read. They are real, and are people you’d like to have as your friends. I loved the way Ms Carrington writes the marriage of convenience/unrequited love story, with each of them just missing the signals the other sends. Parker is such a sweetheart of a guy, and Bluebonnet is trying so hard to do right by him, sometimes it was hard to watch them keep missing the signals (but that’s the point of making a good story, isn’t it?). It’s really a great one. I heartily recommend.
Cutest Cowboy RomCom!!
This book y’all!!! It was so good!! First off, Parker was the absolute sweetest!! He had a 15 yr long crush on his sister’s best friend, Bluebonnet! (And let me say, I love their names!! They fit them so well!)
When Bluebonnet has an unexpected pregnancy and her fiancé doesn’t want the baby she ends the engagement. Parker sees this as his chance to step in and marry her to take care of her and to love her like he always has wanted to do! I mean….can he get any sweeter??? What follows is a lovely mixture of hilarious situations and heartfelt moments!! The swoon factor is high!!! 🥹I loved watching their love story unfold!! All Parker wants to do is make her happy and smile, which he does through all the smalls things!! ❤️❤️ They do have some rough spots that Remi handles with such care and delicacy! It was so beautiful and crafted so well!!
Things I loved:
🤍Water gun scene!! 😍
🤍The wet squirrel in the toilet!!😳
🤍Late night drives!❤️
🤍ALL the kisses!!! Wowsa!! 😉
🤍Cheeseburgers with all the pickles!! ( Give me all the pickles!)
🤍He falls first!!
🤍Singing in the shower🥹
🤍See-through map shower curtain!! 😂 IYKYK

🤍Their adorable nicknames, Dumplin and Bonny Blue!! (Y’all know I’m a sucker for nicknames!! )❤️
This is the 4th full novel in this series with a prequel novella, as well!! This was my first read from this series, and now I need to read the others!!!
A side note: I can’t wait to read book 5!!! You’ll have to read to find out who it features!!!😉

Thank you to the author for letting me be on your ARC team!! I’ve truly loved this book!! I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion!
Heart-warming Found-Family
This whole series is sweet and swoony cowboy romcom, set in a small town. This book in particular is a unique twist to the marriage of convenience and best friend’s brother tropes. Parker is an amazing guy—he was so attentive and loved Bluebonnet so well.
Things I Loved:
-Tea
-Goldie’s story
-More Mason
-The necklace
-Empty Lego box
-Ginger candy
-Singing in the shower
-Clementines & pickles (iykyk)
-“The funny thing is, John feels like a lifetime ago. And Dumplin’ feels like forever.”
-The end and the epilogue—so good.
I will admit that I was a little hesitant going into this one for reasons mentioned in the content and and trigger warnings, but aside from feeling like some reactions were a little stilted at the beginning, I ended up really enjoying this story and how things unfolded. It wasn’t too heavy and it was really heart-warming. I love the found-family aspect in both the ranch and in Parker’s family, and how both MCs grew and learned through hard circumstances.
Content: This book starts with our FMC realizing that she is pregnant by her fiancé, who she quickly realizes is no good. Pre-marital sex is not glamorized and after marriage there is totally closed-door, not even fade-to-black, intimacy once.
Trigger Warning: Unplanned pregnancy, miscarriage
