The Hawthornes #4
Baby for the off Limits Boss Daddy: The Hawthorns
I never thought I'd break the bro code and HR rules in one fell swoop.
Rowan Headley tops the list of people I never wanted to see again.
She shattered my best friend's heart, turning him into a shell of his former self.
I hate her for what she did.
But guess who my company's new hire is?
Yep, the last person I expected - Rowan Headley.
It's awkward, it's tense, but we have to put up with each other.
Except the longer I'm around her, the less I feel like avoiding her.
Rowan is fire, sass, and brains all combined into one.
Before I know it, I give in
One steamy night together changes everything.
Sleeping with her is a mistake, but its a mistake we can't undo.
I crossed a line I shouldn't have, and now there's a baby to prove it too...

Loved it!
I've loved all of the books in this series, and this one is a great way to end it. They are easy to read, obviously well proofread before publishing, and give a few smiles or laughs along the reading journey. Lots of sexy fun between Rowan and Oliver. I loved the scene where his family find out she now works with them, very cute.

Rowan and Oliver
This one was a bit weird - she used to be his best friends girlfriend and they used to hang out all the time all 3 of them until she broke up with Trevor the best friend. Honestly throughout all the books the Oliver/Trevor friendship was weird - like at times I thought they could easily be gay… but instead Oliver falls for the ex girlfriend who Trevor has the hardest time getting over after 2 years.
Rowan ends up working for Oliver and Oliver keeps remembering all the fun they all had and then starts thinking maybe he needs to hear her side of the story.
Hea with surprise pregnancy- but he does say he loves her before they find out
Trevor ends up dating her online best friend by coincidence and they all hangout together- I find this weird but maybe it happens?

Oliver and Rowan is hands down my favorite book in this series! The depth of the relationship, the healing of old wounds, and the way the characters grow together made this an absolute winner in my eyes. Oliver Hawthorn’s journey from heartache to love is one you can’t help but root for, and Rowan is the perfect woman to help him heal and find happiness.
Oliver has always felt a bit alone, even though he’s surrounded by family and success. His brothers have found their soulmates, and his father found love again after the heartbreaking loss of their mother. But for Oliver, it always seemed like the connection he longed for was just out of reach. When his best friend’s ex-girlfriend, Rowan, unexpectedly reappears in his life, it shakes everything up. Rowan isn’t just his best friend’s ex anymore—she’s a skilled, determined woman who has a Masters in Cyber Security and a job at Hawthorn LTD, the company Oliver works for. And now, she’s standing right in front of him, ready to take on the world, and Oliver can’t ignore the pull he feels toward her.
The emotional complexity of this story is truly fantastic. Oliver is torn between his lingering feelings for Rowan and his loyalty to his best friend, Trevor, whose heart she broke years ago. Yet, what makes this book so special is watching Oliver and Rowan rebuild their friendship and create a deeper connection—one that’s stronger, healthier, and more authentic than before. Their romance unfolds naturally, allowing both of them to heal from their pasts and grow stronger together.
Rowan is a total powerhouse of a character. Strong, sassy, and fiercely independent, she’s not the type of woman to sit back and let life pass her by. What I love most is that Oliver doesn’t try to change her. Instead, he embraces her for exactly who she is—flaws, strengths, and everything in between. Their chemistry is palpable, and it’s easy to see why they’re soulmates.
The pacing of their romance is spot-on. The surprise pregnancy at the end might have been a little late in the book, but I loved that it came in the epilogue. It gave the couple the time they needed to develop a solid foundation without rushing things. When Oliver chooses Rowan above all else, including his friendship with Trevor, it’s a beautiful, heart-wrenching moment that showcases just how deep his love for her is.
This book is a perfect blend of heartfelt emotion, sizzling chemistry, and a dash of suspense. Watching Oliver and Rowan heal, grow, and ultimately find happiness together was an absolute joy. If you're a fan of slow-burn romance with a deeply satisfying payoff, Oliver and Rowan is definitely for you. It’s a must-read in this series, and I can’t wait to see what comes next!
In short, this book is a solid 4-star read for me. Oliver and Rowan's journey is nothing short of beautiful, and I’m so happy to have witnessed their love story unfold. Highly recommend!

The Return of Life and Love
Oliver Hawthorn, the youngest but tallest son of the Hawthorn clan, knows what love looks like and feels like. Even though he, his brothers and their father had their hearts broken with mom’s death, with time dad, found love again. And, one by one, Oliver’s older brothers have found their own love and happiness. So that now, when the Hawthorn clan gathers, even with the birth of their new sister, his brothers’ progeny now out-number the brothers’ generation.
But as an adult, a college graduate, with the title of Chief Security Officer at Hawthorn LTD, handsome Oliver, the youngest brother and possessing dark hair and, beautiful green eyes, feels alone. And, his feeling of aloneness isn’t recent. It actually began 3 years earlier when his best friend for years, Trevor and Trevor’s girlfriend, Rowan Headley split. The thing was that Rowan wasn’t just his friend’s girl, Rowan was Oliver’s friend. The end of the Trevor/Rowan relationship which has existed for over 3 years, blew up and was over without notice. Trevor never really clarified what happened to bring the demise of his relationship with Ro, but Oliver suffered from the break up. And, while Ro wasn’t his girlfriend, she was a friend—a close friend—and he still felt her absence.
Now, unexpectedly, Ro is back, back with her skeins of long, dark chocolate-brown straight hair and silver-gray icy eyes, is back. But, she’s not back as Trevor’s girl—she’s had no contact with Trevor since she split from him. No, now she is back with a Masters in Cyber Security and certification in Briarware to help strengthen the cyber department at Hawthorn LTD. With credentials and recommendations, she has been hired without Oliver’s involvement—workforce development is handled by another brother’s department under another brother’s supervision. Now, after the hire has been approved, he has been given the candidate’s credentials to review before meeting the new hire—the woman who unknowingly broke his heart and changed his life for the last 3 years.
Author Callie Stevens sets up the perfect former friends to lovers tale filled with magic and energy. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout, but also purchased a copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the fourth book I have read in The Hawthorns Series by Callie Stevens and it was just okay for me. I knew going in that this book was going to be my least favorite. I just could not get past Oliver betraying his best friend Trevor like that and breaking bro code. But, not only that he kept making excuses for why he could not to tell him. When really I feel it was just him being selfish and serving his own purpose of hiding what he was up to. He watched his friend become a shell of himself after his break up with Rowan and I just can't see how a true best friend would do this or at the most give in so quickly. Seriously, Oliver should have sat down with Trevor from the beginning and explained what he was feeling and told him that he wanted to see where things could go with Rowan. I felt this was very unrealistic because I personally do not know of any friends let alone best friends who could move past this and continue their friendship. Something like this is a deal breaker...who wants to hang out with their best friend and their ex who are now in a relationship? But, hey this is fiction after all and we all won't see things the same way. Like the saying goes different strokes for different folks. I am also super sensitive to this subject because I went through something similar. The book was very predictable and not one thing surprised me - I called it before it even happened.
Oliver is the latest Hawthorn to find love and his happily ever after. Sadly he finds this with his best friends ex Rowan. She has been hired by the family company and now works under his supervision. There is a chemistry between them that draws them together like a moth to the flame. They just can't fight these feelings anymore, but there is going to be price to pay.

In this Book we follow the story of Oliver Hawthorne the middle brother of the Hawthorne Brothers who seemed to be a bachelor for life. And although he wants the same kind of love his brothers and father has found, he is still looking for his soulmate.
Then his best friends ex-girlfriend his hired for his cyber security team and things seem to change. They were friends for the time Rowan (best friends ex-girlfriend) and Trevor (best friend) used to date, but now they haven't seen eachother for almost two years.
Can Oliver forgive Rowan for breaking his best friends heart?
This Books was in my opinion the best one in this series so far. Compared to the other books the suprise pregnancy came rather late, they found out rather late in the last chapter or so. It was more a part of the epilogue in my opinion, which was great for Rowan and Olivers Relationship.
But I think that was really great for Oliver and Rowan because they were able to first let their friendship and love grow without having to go to fast.
They were able to heal from the past and grow stronger together.
I really enjoyed that Oliver loved Rowan for exactly who she is. And I love Rowan for her sassy, strong and fierce character.
The two of them really are Soulmates and belong together.
The highlight for me was, that Oliver chooses Rowan above everything else. He chose her rather then his best friend and he was so in love and obsessed with her and vice versa.
All in all it was a cute romance and I enjoyed it quite a lot!

Computer attacks, increasing to high levels, now lessening.
They are back, The Hawthorn’s. The Hawthorn- what a family.
Friendship in turmoil: Oliver - Roman & Trevor’s. What will come out from lusting of best friends ex? Who is cyber attacking Hawthorn Industries? Friend or Foe??
There has just been something about the Hawthorn men from book 1 in the series. Each has found an unexpected love and mate for life. They have also created a tradition of their own. Baby first, then marriage.
Oliver, the last of the Hawthorn men found his too, but at what expense. Friendship lost, reconnected, breakups etc. Raven was his missing link.
There are many Boss Daddy stories out there. Overall, Callie has written a series that captivates you. Each storyline was enjoyable and simply draws you in.
Love, laughter, unexpected situations. Heavy petting 🫢 it had it all. Will there be a continuation? Will Callie extend to Trevor having his story or will we look into the future of the children? Could be a closure to the Hawthorn’s maybe/maybe not.
Recommend the reads. Do read in order.

Whoa Callie, you have done it again! I just could not put this book down, read it all in one sitting, what a fitting way to finish off the stories of the Hawthorn men!
We have Oliver and Rowan, previously great friends when Rowan was Oliver’s best friend Trevor’ girlfriend, they haven’t seen each other for two years, since Trevor and Rowan broke up.
Rowan got a job in Oliver’s Cyber Security Department once he found out he initially wanted to get rid of her, but realised she would be of great value to the company. It didn’t mean he had to like it though, however working closely with her, they could not fight the chemistry between them, their banter, the steamy scenes between them, the burgeoning love, the guilt and eventually their happy ever after are all written so beautifully by our author and make this a compelling read.
I highly recommend this book and if you haven’t already read them the previous Hawthorn books

After getting over the shock of not just seeing her again but realizing that he will be working with her on a daily basis now, he lets his anger get the best of him.

I have loved the series about The Hawthorns. I have loved all of these books.
These story of Oliver and Rowan totally flipped the series on its head. They definitely have a history, and a big one at that. I enjoyed how they were good friends for a few years before she broke up with his best friend.
Its amazing the way Callie wrote Rowan. She had her own fears, but she is very sassy and headstrong. She has balls a lot of wish we had when just going for what she wants. It certainly gets her what she wants but everything comes with strings.
This book was a great descriptive journey of the two. They never thought of each other as more than just friends, but the friendship and basis was there. I loved how that built just a passionate, strong relationship.
They seem to have endless passion for each other. I understand the pull Oliver feels for his best friend, and the new obsession with Rowan.
This story is full of so much humor, sass, determination, passion and heat. I'm sad to see the story of the Hawthorns end, but SOOO worth the re-reads!!!!.

I love Oliver and Rowan! Their chemistry is fierce, hot and taboo, or so he thinks since she is his best friend’s ex. After she and his friend broke up, Oliver didn’t see her again. Now she is going to be working closely with him and he is not happy about it. Feisty Rowan holds her own against his anger and shows him that she is more than capable of doing her job. Oliver doesn’t like the attraction he feels or the deeper feelings he is trying to deny, but soon finds he can’t resist her, especially since she seems to feel the same way. The flirting and banter between them soon lead to some steamy intimacies, that leave him feeling a tad guilty, but not enough to stop. They think they are being discreet and no one else knows what is going on, but they are so wrong! Their story is told with a lot humour which makes it even more enjoyable. Another Hawthorne meets his match!.

The story of Rowan and Oliver is truly a great one!
Saddled with the Hawthorne curse of getting a woman pregnant before being in a serious relationship, Oliver seems very cool with everything.
Though he sided with his friend Trevor in the past, when Rowan broke up with him, Oliver learns that Rowan is not the horrible person he believed her to be. In fact, the chemistry between them is pretty irrisistible. So, they give in, and the Hawthorne curse strikes again. But I loved that Oliver was immediately there to take care of Rowan. And when Trevor finds out about them, Oliver chooses differently this time around, and puts his woman and their baby first.
Truly, a great, fun read, and am sad it is the end of this series. Still, highly recommend!.

This is best friend’s ex, surprise pregnancy, employee/boss romance. It is dual POV with likeable characters and a good storyline.
Rowan is a feisty female in the tech field and joins Oliver’s company in the cyber security department as she is certified in a particular program.
Oliver didn’t realise Rowan would be joining his company and is shocked to say the least. She is his best friend’s ex and he hasn’t seen her in 2 years.
They soon discover their chemistry and embark on a relationship and of course there are barriers they have to pass as well as the taboo of their situation.

Rowan is a feisty female in the tech field and joins Oliver’s company in the cyber security department as she is certified in a particular program.
Oliver didn’t realise Rowan would be joining his company and is shocked to say the least. She is his best friend’s ex and he hasn’t seen her in 2 years.
They soon discover their chemistry and embark on a relationship and of course there are barriers they have to pass as well as the taboo of their situation.

I kind of had an idea that Rowan would end up involved with Oliver back when they all attended a family dinner and there was a bunch of tension between them. I would have guessed that one was interested in the other and Trevor got wind of it, but this is so much better of a story and less predictable.
Oliver and Rowan are a hot couple together and the way they try to hide what they are doing from everyone including the family is hilarious.
I loved this story and think it was a great way to round out series of the Hawthorn Family and how they all got together and grew. This was definitely worth reading. I am glad I read them in order.

Ollie is the last single one in his family. Wondering if he will ever get to settle down.
When he comes face to face with Rowan. She used to play a big part in his life, until two years ago when she broke up with his best friend, leaving him devastated for far too long. He is angry with her, frustrated that she is working for him and undeniably attracted to her.
This is a fun read. A little taboo, alot hilarious, full of feelings, steam and true love.
The last in the series (although can be read as a standalone) it is truly great follows the same formula as the other books in the series that will have you gripped, laughing and fanning yourself until the very last page.

The Hawthorn men! I loved this book, as I have the rest of the series.
Oliver is the last single Hawthorn and his family thinks he should settle down and start his own family. Even his best friend Trevor is ready to start dating - two years after his breakup with Rowan.
Little does Oliver know that Rowan just got a job with Hawthorn Ltd - in Oliver's area. He is not thrilled to see her, but is also attracted to her, which surprises him. Their chemistry is off the charts, so they decide to work it out of their systems. Once should be enough....
When that plan doesn't work out, what are their options? Oliver doesn't want to upset Trevor, but he can't stop thinking about Rowan.

Oliver and Rowan have known each other for a while. Rowan is Oliver's best friends ex, so she should be off limits based on bro code alone. Then they end up working together and he is her boss; so again, she should be off limits. Oliver and Rowan are really attracted to each other, though, so it isn't long before they are sharing much more than witty banter. But what happens when the lines have been crossed and people find out? And when there's a baby in the mix?
I loved these characters, they were so fun. While there were times I was so frustrated with them because they kept going back and forth, they were clear on what they wanted, they just weren't sure how to go about it. They were supportive of each other.

This is the fourth book in this incredible series, and this is Oliver and Rowan’s story. Rowan is sassy and feisty, and she is the girl who broke Oliver’s best friends’ heart, and now she is the new hire for Olivers’ family’s company. One hot night together and there is a surprise in store. The chemistry between these two is combustible and undeniable, and they complement each other perfectly. This is a well written story which is an east to read, emotional roller coaster, with family, friendships, humor, witty banter, challenges, romance, and love, which leads to an entertaining and steamy page turner.

Baby for the Off Limits Boss Daddy is book 4 in the Hawthorns series. I enjoyed this book. It was well written and easy to read. I liked the chemistry between Rowan and Oliver. I also liked that despite what happened in the past, they accepted each other for who they were. The Hawthorns are a family that cares about each other and never judges. They always have each other's backs. I would recommend this to anyone who loves enemies to lovers, office romance, billionaire romance, off limits/forbidden romance, ex's best friend, best friend's ex, and surprise baby/accidental pregnancy.

This is Book 4 in The Hawthorns Series by this author, and can be read as a standalone. It is an enemies to lovers, office romance between Rowan and Oliver. These likeable characters and the unique plot make for an enjoyable read. Their sizzling chemistry and strong connection are undeniable as they navigate the bumpy road to their forever after. It is a love story with enough drama, steam, sweetness, frustrating moments, twists and turns, and engaging secondary characters to keep the reader interested. Entertaining.

This has been a wonderful series to read and I'm happy to finally read Oliver story.
Oliver and Rowan we're very good friends and Rowan was dating Oliver's best friend. Until she broke his heart along with Oliver's.
Now seeing her working in his office has caused rage and he avoids her as much as possible. Little did he know their chemistry was so strong he won't be able to resist.
Can these two fall in love?
What will they do with the baby news?
What will they say to Rowan's ex?
Fantastic read full of humour, Romance, emotional, family, Love and spice.

Rowan is an intelligent, no nonsense, humorous individual who just happens to be Oliver's best friend's ex. This wouldn't be a problem except that she's his new employee. When she left his best friend, Trevor, he also lost a close friend. Until she reappears in his life he doesn't realise how much he's missed her and how hurt and angry he was.
A fabulous story about two strong people working through their feelings and finding a new and better relationship.
A wonderful addition to the Hawthorn saga. The extended family is charismatic, unique, funny and entertaining.

This is the 4th book in The Hawthorne Series and is Oliver's story. This might be my favorite of the series, and Oliver is definitely my newest book boyfriend. Callie did a wonderful job with this book and be warned, once you start reading it you'll find it hard to stop. The chemistry between Oliver and Rowan is explosive, and he tries to fight it, as he's still mad at her for breaking his best friend's heart. A great book that's a wonderful addition to the series. I read a free advance reader copy via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review it.

5 stars of awesomeness = win for the reader
Callie Stevens you had me totally hooked from page 1 with Rowan & Oliver's story. They have a bit of a complicated past as she used to date his friend & he hates her for breaking his friend's heart. Does he truly hate her or is that hate actually thinly disguised desire? Will a steamy night of hot in between the sheets action be just a single night or the start of something forever?.

Those Hawthorn boys, keeping tradition alive by knocking up the loves their lives before they even know they're in love! Oliver and Rowan's story is absolutely perfect. Definitely a little drama filled but that's more a matter of circumstance than because there is any real intention to make things difficult. As they say, you love who you love and it's adorable that because they were friends first Oliver and Rowan love each other bad habits, strange quirks, and all.

This was a story that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Oliver and Rowan have a history of a kind of love hate relationship. Oliver blames her for breaking his best friend's heart. But hate and love lie side by side, and who knows, he might be secretly in love with her and that's why he's so nasty to her. To find out if they can become something together and how it goes when they've had a steamy and hot night together you find out to read their story yourself is really worth it.
