If you can’t ask your best friend to get you pregnant then who can you ask?
Adalynn Tate made a promise to her childhood friend.
They vowed that they’d do everything together, including marrying their junior high crush and having all their babies at the same time.
Her friend has succeeded. She got the guy, and the first bun is in the oven.
Now it’s Adalynn’s turn to make her own dreams a reality.
When Adalynn’s best guy friend comes over, he sees the pamphlets for her to have a baby on her own.
Cash does what any best friend would do – offers his free, platonic services instead of extra medical bills.
He doesn’t know Adalynn has had a crush on him since junior high, something she’s done her best to lock down deep as not to threaten their friendship.
Adalynn knows in this world you don’t get to have it all: the baby, the man, the fairytale.
But Cash has other plans for her.

This is book two in the Lindell series and you probably should read in order since this one picks up after the first and stems from a pact between two characters. And most of the characters mentioned are in book one as well.
It's a really good friends to lovers story. Madison and Addalyn were best friends in school and made a pact to marry and have babies with their childhood crushes. Addalyn and Cash are best friends and Addalyn doesn't want to risk losing that. So, she decides to look at sperm banks instead, especially since Cash is adamant he doesn't want kids. However, he sees her pamphlets and offers to do it the natural way.
Ok so this all sounds good, right? There are a few other things going on with other characters that really build interest in more books. I liked getting to see Cash actually at work (he's the police chief) because his job is important to the story. I like the realistic-ness of the story and love this town.
I did think they tippy toed around each other just a tiny bit much and there were times I wanted to shake both characters. But, all in all, it was a fun story to read and I can't wait for Walker and Claire.
If you like small town Romance, men in uniform, friends to lovers, awesome characters (a few meddling ones) a bit of humor and a lot of spice then this book is for you.
