Unexpected Love

4 Star Kindle Unlimited Short Novella Read
This is installed number 2 following Nanny Wanted. Which is offered as a bonus short novella along with others.

Baby Wanted was a fun read about finding true love where you least expect it.

[Tai Nelson-Barnes · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this book. It comes off the Nanny Wanted book but you don't have to have read that one. This is a sweet romance with wonderful characters. Grant and Stacy are a couple you would never think would get together, but the chemistry is off the chart. Great book. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. I really enjoyed this book. We first met Stacy in a previous book, Nanny Wanted. She is the bff to Willow in that book. Grant is the best friend of Darien from the same book. Stacy and a few of the people she works with just found out the club they worked out is no longer in business. She needs a job and asks hr friends Willow if she knows of any. Willow informs her that Grant Carter the CEO of Carter Enterprises is looking for a new personal assistant. Stacy decides to take the job. Upon meeting Grant the sparks start to fly. When they get p to Grant's office he receives a call informing him that he must have an heir before he reaches his 41st birthday. Grant decides to ask Stacy to have a child for him. He offers he money and signs a contract with her. What happens from there is what makes this a great read. Everything and everyone they have to deal with as well as the growing feelings they have for one another. Both are trying to abide by the contract and protect their own heart but are finding hat hard to do. I loved this story and really enjoyed the HEA!

Eva Luxe and Juliana Conners have done it again! They have written a great romance story with a sassy, independent virgin, an alpha billionaire boss, some plot twists, great characters, fiery chemistry, panty-melting, toe-curling steamy scenes, love and a "put a smile on your face" HEA.

I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

Baby Wanted a five -star read that will leave you wanting by Eva Luxe and Julianna Conners. These two get better and better, the writing is sublime and the story has great plotting and the chemistry between Grant and Stacy was imminently apparent and you could see the relationship develop and grow before your eyes. Overall a great story and a job well done both.

[AWB · Rating 1 out of 5]

I disliked this one. Both characters were one dimensional. Wishy-washy. The h didn’t want to be a mom at 20, but agrees to have a baby with a 40 year old for money. Because it’s just a contract and she’ll get to walk away. But she does it all because family is important and they need money help.... uh, your kid would also be your family? The H was a man whore, who tried to have sex with the h within minutes of meeting her, in an elevator where he sleeps with all his other women, at his work? Meh, I’m over this book. Not for me. Moving on.

I read the previous book by Eve Lux and Juliana Conners, Nanny Wanted which was brilliant and if you haven't read it I definitely encourage you to do so, and we meet again Stacy who is looking for work and her friend Willow suggests applying to Grant who needs a new PA so she does. Now Stacy is an independent young woman who always tried to do her best and is a very loyal and protective friend. Grant, meanwhile is an alpha male through and through who sees what he wants and then takes it. He is thrown off kilter by being informed that he must sire an heir before his 41 birthday and he's 40 years old now! So he changes tactic and proposes that Stacy has his baby and once she has, she will leave the baby with him and never see them again and for this he will give her $1 million. She agrees as she is desperate for money and the stipulation that she cannot leave so that he can protect them both. But how could any mum leave her baby like that?? Is Grant so confident that his growing feelings for Stacy will magically disappear once the baby is born? Wouldn't it be better for the baby growing up knowing both of it's parents? As the story unfolds Eve and Juliana have surpassed themselves in making this such a fabulous story with a few twists and turns as well passion, feelings that Grant did not put into the equation of their "relationship", lust, hot steamy sexy scenes that will lead to panty melting moments and a love that cannot be ignored by either of them. I bought this book as I loved the previous book by these two fantastic authors and they excelled, once again, with this book.
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!!

SMOKIN HOT!

I loved Stacy and Grant's story and Grant at first is the kind of guy you love to hate and hate to love. Stacy is so sweet it's kind of hard to believe she's a stripper but apparently not. I was happy for her when she got the job working for Grant Carter but I knew right away he was showing his true colors. But after awhile he redeems himself. I'm actually glad he makes Stacy the offer to have his baby because it becomes obvious he adores her and wants more than just her virginity. I also loved the addition of Willow and Darian's story. I do have to say though I loved their story more. There was more emotion in it. I laughed, I cried and little Ariel was total cuteness overload and the suspense when it came to Darian's ex-wife Morgan was such a conniving Bitch I hated her and the way she treated poor Ariel was disgusting and the fear little Ariel had for her mother was heartbreaking. I cried. And then there's Sam, Willow's brother when the hospital was more or less gonna kick him out I was losing it and then her parents wanting to unplug him from his machines had me bawling. For some reason I had a feeling that at the last minute Willow would bring him back and lol. I was crying again. And I loved every minute of it. Now Darien is sex on a stick. The love and affection he has for his little girl is so touching it was kind of a surprise to find out he such an alpha in the bedroom. HOLY MOLY! These two are off the charts smokin hot. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

This is a great contemporary romance between Stacy and Grant. One night out of the blue Stacy finds herself without a job, as a stripper, as the club closed without any notice. While talking with her friend, Willow who is married to a wealthy businessman she let’s her know about a job working for a friend of her husbands as his PA. Grant finds it hard to not be on Stacy as soon as he meets her. Grant takes it too far and Stacy holds her own and walks away from him. Grant is a very wealthy businessman and has his world turned upside down after he finds out a stipulation in his grandfathers will and takes action right away to solve it. With a signed contract between Grant and Stacy they take full advantage to fulfill the requirements to keep his entire life. Once Grant and Stacy realize what they feel for one another could lead to more they open themselves up a bit. Stacy tries to do whatever she can for her family and is a bit stubborn on top. Grant being a wealthy man, can he truly trust Stacy as she won’t open up to him and explain her whereabouts to Grant. Lets say Grant has a hard time with this and becomes possessive of Stacy. After Stacy finds out why she is sick there is a misunderstanding that causes Stacy to walk away without a thing! Can Grant explain how he truly feels to Stacy before he has lost her forever? This is a great read you can’t put down until the end. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

He just had to ask her. The contract will be five hundred grand, taken very good care of but she has to sign her parental rights away. She had secrets but her family needed her. She agreed. She told him one of her secrets she was a virgin. He started having real feelings for her but she was still hiding things. His lawyer gave him information on her. Both were damaged and fitting their feelings. Stacy got real sick and Grant took her to the hospital. The doctor confirms she is pregnant. She doesn’t want to give him up. He finds out all her secrets but still wants her. This a good story with mystery and love. Definitely recommend this book

Review for One Night With Him

I voluntarily read an arc of this book for a fair and honest review. First off, thank you, thank you, thank you....what for you ask? A mature heroine, not some prepubescent, fragile, post high nymph. I, for one, am losing interest in 18 to 24 year old child women. But here comes the predictability. Mandy is attending a convention where she hopes to find a new job. When she hands her resume in to the man covering, what she hopes to be her future employment opportunity table at the convention, he tells her her resume is exactly what his company is looking for and he will make sure his CEO gets it. The next morning, Mandy wakes up after an almost black out drunk night, not realizing the right side of her bed is occupied by her one night stand. When Kain wakes up he can’t remember the name of the woman who occupied the
left side of the bed. While neither really want to say goodbye, Kain gets an urgent, business related call and has to leave. I haven’t gotten that far into the book yet but I’m guessing Kain will soon be receiving Mandy’s resume. Lucky guess? Probably not, just sadly predictable. Been there, read that about 100 times. When they got to her condo they exchanged drunken secrets...some secrets about his company Kain wanted no one to know. A now sober Mandy was starting to remember some of them. A slowly recovering Kain is beginning to remember some of what he divulged to Mandy and is somewhat worried about his loose lips. He’s desperately trying to remember whether or not he told his deepest darkest secret...the one about his brother. Mandy is offered the marketing job at guess what company? Ding ding ding! Looks like Kain and Mandy will be seeing each other again. Kain also s to be suffering from Peter Pan syndrome..he comes off sometimes as a man/boy. Aside from being predictable my only criticism would be the unnecessary flashbacks...it was only a 24 hour period but the time jumping is confusing. It’s a good read but I probably would not read it again.

An heir to keep his fortune

I enjoyed this short, good read. It stopped at the 16% mark, but it included lots of extras! We meet Grant in "Nanny Wanted", but don't get to know so much about him. In this story, we do see more but to me it wasn't enough. I kind of felt that he was a little simplistic if a character, but there were redeeming qualities to him as well. I liked the emotion he showed Stacey. It made me feel like there was a bit more to Grant than what I read. Stacey was a bit unique as well. I was just as confused by her late nights out. I guess I didn't understand her family make up because I was confused by Edwin's presence later on. I liked how sweet he was to her for her first time. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book, and I borrowed it through the Kindle Unlimited program too.

[Tiffany · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good younger woman/older man, baby mama for hire, virgin romance. I liked Grant. Although scared of his developing feelings, Grant recognized them and quickly accepted them. He was sweet and caring with Stacy the first time and protective there after. He even put Tina in her place (you'll have to read this to figure out who Tina is). I was not as keen on Stacy. I liked how she was so close to and so supportive of her family. However, she agreed to the contract quickly despite one part with the future baby she didn't seem okay with. She seemed to get okay with it rather quickly though. It just didn't seem like something a family oriented person would do. Overall, I liked how the story turned out, even with Tina.

This is a follow up book to Nanny Wanted though it can be read as a standalone. And mmm, hot much? At first, Grant just comes off as an arrogant douche but then you start to see another side to him. There are quite a few twists and turns to this book which just keep it exciting and off course the ever present chemistry and heat between Grant and Stacy. Another fabulous book from Eva and Juliana!

When Stacy loses her job as a stripper her friend Willow helps her get a job as a PA to one of her husband's friends. Grant is a billionaire businessman and he immediately hits on Stacy and she turns him down. He then finds out about a hidden clause in his grandfather's will. In order to get his inheritance, he must have an heir before he is 41. He makes an offer to Stacy to be a surrogate and provide him with an heir and he'll pay her $500,000. He doesn't do relationships. This is a hot and sexy read and one that has them falling for each other. Lots of drama and twists before they get to the HEA. A good read that will heat up your kindle. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to review this book

Plans have to change when you fall unexpectedly in love

Grant is an older gorgeous alpha male who thinks he can’t love. Stacy is a young innocent woman, who has backbone and is sassy, and she doesn’t want love. Stacy needs money to help her family and Grant needs a baby to meet the terms of a will. So they join forces with great plans to have a baby, and part company. But not when love comes calling and not when other people interfere and they suddenly realise they do want more. This is a tender but passionate story of finding love when you least expect it. Loved this book - happy to review it.

This is a real sexy one. Don't read it with company 😉

Stacy is a contradiction, she is a virgin stripper. Well she was a stripper now she is just a virgin out of work. His boss just closed the club without informing anyone about it. She has bills to pay and no work. Thanks God for her friend that just got her a professional job as an administrative assistant to a billionaire. Hopefully everything works out.

Grant is a playboy, any woman he wants he gets and since his friend wife show him a photo of his new administrative assistant he wants her. She is a tough cookie but now he needs an heir and she will be his baby momma.

[Margaret · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good contemporary, billionaire,older man/younger woman romance. Grant wasn't one to settle down and enjoyed women to the point of being considered a playboy. Stacy was working as a stripper until the job suddenly ended. She turned to her friend who told her if a position with Grant. Needless to say, no one was the offer he would make. A baby/heir for a Million dollars. The character development was good but there were a few times I felt something was missing in the story. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by these authors.

Love always wins...and boy does it ever sparkle in this delightful romance from the talented writing combo Eva Luxe and Juliana Conners. They’ve whipped up an enticing tale of older rich guy and much younger woman who get together to fulfill an inheritance clause that the rich guy was not aware of.
This book has it all...great storyline; delightful characters; plenty of emotional ups and downs; and the HEA will definitely make you smile. Don’t miss out...grab your copy of Baby Wanted today! (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and absolutely loved it!!) ❤️❤️

[J. A. · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are looking for a hot read that jumps right in, this is the book for you. These two authors know how to spin a deliciously hot and sexy tale that also has a good back story. Grant and Stacy make a pact right off the bat, but what is meant to be kept purely contract based, soon becomes something more. Nonetheless, neither knows how to trust the other which may be the downfall to everything this arrangement could be. Read this awesome book to find out if they can work through their issues or if this arrangement will be nothing more than a money transfer.

[Laila Viking · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well written book with great storyline and plot. A bit different than the usual of this type billionaire/virgin. Lots of chemistry and hot scenes. I like the main characters and how they develop. The story flows nicely and it is very captivating from first to last chapter. I like it is written in dual POV. That gives a lot more to the story. As always the two amazing authors Juliana Conners and Eva Luxe has delivered a story that is worth the read!

I have voluntarily read an ARC in exchange for a honest review.

Stacy is unexpectedly out of work when the club she works at closes. She calls her friend Willow and via her husband she finds work with a friend of his. When she meets Grant Carter she is instantly attracted to him and him to her. Then an unusual term to his Grandfather's will is made known to him. He needs to produce an heir by the age of 41 or he loses everything. He immediately thinks of Stacy. Along the way Lust turns to Love for both Grant & Stacy.

I received this book for a voluntary, completely honest and non incentivized review. Baby Wanted has full on alpha billionaire male who pretty much gets what he wants and everything he doesn't realize he wants/needs. We have the heroine who is young, sassy and down on her luck. Their chemistry is scorching hot and their story is not new but their journey is dramatic, sexy, funny and hot. No details here because this is a definite read for you to find those things out!

[Chrisette · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got this book in exchange for a voluntary review. Stacy is a stripper when the place she works closes down. Unable to find work else where,she ends up working for Grant. Grant needs a child to keep his inheritance so he offers her $500,000 to have his baby. Stacy accepts with lots of reservations, mainly, she will get hurt when the baby is born and he doesn't want her anymore. This book is about how sometimes the heart goes ahead when the mind isn't engaged yet.

[Angelia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I give this book 5 stars. The storyline between Grant and Stacey was well written and starts with Stacey losing her job as a stripping. The bar she worked for closed and she had a lot of people that depending on her. She calls her friend Willow for help. Willow said she has a friend of her husbands name Grant is looking for a personal assistant. And the story begins. This is a must read. I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

[Lynnett · Rating 1 out of 5]

The story sounded promising, but the writing was terrible. It was like the average writing of an 8th grader who, knows enough but was almost late turning in an assignment and was not edited. The ideas had no natural build and the idea ran quickly from one to another. It seemed that there was supposed to be suspense and intrigue, but it was sorely lacking. A big waste of .99, at least it was a quick read.

[Annette · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was really good. I like that Grant is filthy rich and arrogant but gets blown away by an ex-stripper. Poor man, his emotions were all over the place and he didn't know how to get himself together. Stacy was no push-over and although she was instantly attracted to Grant, she also knows he was out of her league. They should have communicated a little better but it is how signing a contract works, do the deed as instructed, lol.

[Birgit · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my first read from the author but definitely not my last.
The characters are well-developed and the entertaining story is in the right pace.

The book contains a sweet heroine and former exotic dancer (Stacy) and a sexy billionaire (Grant), deep emotions, troubled characters, doubts and an incredible chemistry, which makes it a beautiful love story.

So go ahead, grab this book and let the story give You a relaxed reading time.
