Sylvie and Brady have been best friends since grade school. Brady is now a famous tennis champion and Sylvie is a junior partner in a well established law firm. Life is looking pretty good for both of them until a jealous senior partner causes problems for Sylvie and an accident sidelines Brady. While they are regrouping from the problems in their working lives, things between them shift. You see, Sylvie wants a baby but not a husband. When she confides her plans to Brady, he presents an alternative that might be an answer to her plans.

This story is filled with engaging characters, naughty co-workers, loving family members and a couple of best friends learning to navigate life on their terms. It's about change and challenges and facing things that are outside current boundaries. The story is charming, sweet, sexy and filled with hope and possibilities. It's a short read with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA that will leave you with a smile on your face and a flutter in your heart.

Piper Sullivan has a way of lifting people up...not just her characters but also her readers. When presented with the opportunity to read an advanced copy of her book, I did not hesitate accepting and I have to say, I was well pleased with the book and have no problem recommending it. The lady knows her way around a good story. I was not disappointed... bet you won't be either.

This is the 2nd or 3rd story I've read from this author,,,, I've gained another author that I like,,,,

Sylvie was a junior partner in a well to do law firm, winning cases and causing some waves in the office and now she has decided that she wants to have a baby and she knows just who to ask,,,,,

He is a champion tennis player and Sylvie and Brady had been best friends since they were babies, it seems like,,,, he has just won another title and he and his manager were in their limo when it was T-Boned by another vehicle and he now has a fracture and is sidelined from tennis, and Sylvie has just taken some time off and she is going to ask Brady to be the baby daddy,,,,,

So,,, now you get to sit and wonder about the rest,,,, unless you go and buy this book,,, you will absolutely love to read this story,,, it is way cute and you will really miss something if you dont read this book,,,, trust me,,,,

I got this book as an ARC and voluntarily wrote an honest review

This was seriously a hot and steamy can’t put down until the very end romance. They have been best friends forever Sylvie the lawyer and Brady the world famous tennis player.
Sylvie has been working hard to become partner in her firm but her life is not complete, she wants a baby but has no time for the man. She has come up with the perfect solution. She is going to ask her best friend to give it to her.
Brady doesn’t know what to think when Sylvie asks him to father a child for her. Once he has some time to think about it he decides he will do it but only if they make the baby the old fashioned way. Sparks begin to fly but where will it take them once Sylvie discovers that she really is knocked up?
I stayed up a little too late reading this one but Piper Sullivan keeps the reader hooked until the very last word!

Ooooh I love this sweet holiday friend to lover read.
It warms my heart and definitely put a big smile on my face.
A hot bad boy tennis player and a feisty lawyer, two people who's been best friends for their lives getting some big changes that makes everything more complicated.
I love this kind of story. It's a fast full of love read, absolutely perfect for holiday.

As for characters. Brady and Sylvie are strong characters, both so independent and so sure of themselves, they'd their moments of weakness but they're always moving forward trying to fix it. I love the builds of their relationship and love their banters too it's so refreshing.

If you're looking for holiday read or if friend to lover romance is your taste, you need to read this.

I have to tell you friends to lovers is one of my favorite types of story. This book was amazing. I loved the friendship that Sylvie and Brady had. They were always there for each other and talked about everything and anything. They always helped each other out. When Sylvie decided she wanted to have a baby the only person she wanted to be the baby’s father was Brady. Sylvie asked and he said yes. This leads them both on a path of discovery. They love each other so much but they are both too afraid to ask for more. In order to find out what happens you are going to have to pick up this book and give it a try. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. This is for sure the Christmas story for you. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

Excellent contemporary holiday romance. Sylvie is a smart and beautiful attorney. Brady is a professional tennis player at the top of his game. Sylvie is at the point in life that she wants a family so she asks her best friend Brady to be the biological father. She understands that his career and lifestyle may mean he won't be active in their lives. Decisions, choices and changes need to occur so they each get what they want out of life. It won't be easy to keep their friendship in tact. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. Ms. Sullivan did an awesome job keeping the interest of this reader. The story moved along quickly and you can feel the impact the characters choices. I look forward to reading future books by this author.

Knocked Up By My Best Friend by Piper Sullivan is a fairly quick read, a great choice for those with limited reading time. Ms. Sullivan has delivered a well-written book. There are only two things I don't like about the book, the title (sounds like it's going to be sleazy), and it's written in first person alternating point of view format. But that's just a personal preference. The characters in this book are amazing and lovable. Sylvie and Brady's story is packed with drama, humor and melt your e-reader heat. I enjoyed reading Knocked Up By My Best Friend (did you see me just cringe?) and I look forward to reading more from Piper Sullivan in the future. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

So sweet!

I really enjoyed this book, it was a pleasant read after having nothing but 2 star books these past couple of weeks. I loved the main characters and their mothers, it was obviously to their family that they should be together but sometimes we just never want to chance it. Sylvie and Brady's friendship was so caring, affectionate and honest you really couldn't ask for a better pairing. I think it was their natural closeness that allowed thing to develop without the awkwardness to set in, but with everything there are hiccups along the way so I encourage you to go pick this up and dive right in you won't regret it.
I hope this review has helped you, please rate this it would be much appreciated. Thanks

I loved this sweet story! Friends since they were kids they celebrated the good and the bad in each of their lives. Sylvie is coming to terms about some things that is going on in her professional and personal life and is ready to make a change or so she thinks. Brady is a bad boy on the tennis circuit and Sylvie is his number one fan. He harbors secret fantasies about his bestie but he has never acted on them. When Sylvie comes to see him after his win she discusses with him her desire for him to father a child with her. These two embark on this journey but along the way things get disjointed will these to be able to salvage what they had before this journey? Great story just in time for Christmas.

I feel like this authors work just keeps getting better. This book was fantastic and I loved everything about it!!
Sylvie and Brady had been friends since they were young kids. Even though they both could acknowledge that other was attractive, they never wanted to cross the line and ruin a life long friendship. Until Sylvie decides she wants a baby and wants Brady to be the father, he can decide whether he wants to be involved or not, but she wants his baby.
Will crossing the line of their friendship ruin it for good?
This is a quick read that I would suggest you buy to help out you in a good mood!!
Love friends to lovers books!!

I should haee known, especially given the fact that I read a book called HIS CHRISTMAS BABY which was already something to be aware of... yet GoodReads tells me it's called Knocked Up By My Best Friend. I mean gee, call the author a genius that is one hell of a brilliant title.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
But these books are my weakness because it is so bad it makes me laugh. It was overall a ute story... but WAY WAY WAY too fast and totally mess. It was literally more smut than details and I feel like that takes so much away from the book.

Actually the best way to describe the book was how the plot went: "I love you" kiss kiss kiss bang bang bang baby! No description in between.

His Christmas Baby by Piper Sullivan is a wonderfully written friends to Lovers romance ideal for the festive season.
Sylvie a hotshot lawyer, is not so lucky when it comes to having relationships, wants a baby and has decided that the perfect person to give her a child is her best friend Brady. Brady is a tennis bad boy and playboy that rules not only on the tennis court but in bed too.
Brady agrees to be the father of Sylvie's child but he has one condition, the baby will be made the good old fashioned way!!!

His Christmas Baby by Piper Sullivan is an excellent friends to lovers romance. Sylvia and Brady have been best friends since childhood. When Sylvia wants to have a child without all the problems a guy can bring into the equation. So she decides to ask Brady to be the sperm donor. Enjoy the story as what should be a simple request turns into a whole lot more as attraction and desire erupts and flares out of control. An entertaining and enjoyable read.

Easy review time! Only one word needed: “yummy”. (Really, really - really - yummy...mmmm).

Ok book-gasm over.

Sylvie and Brady are a great pair. It’s kinda shocking that she would risk what looked like the perfect friendship for what a sperm request ...and Brady? Come-on, you don’t think things through. The, umm, “old fashioned way” always has emotional consequences! Luckily for us readers Piper Sullivan is a star at handling all of this and does a superb job here. This book is just pure fun, and highly recommended.

Sylvie is a lawyer for not the kind of innocent client. She lives in a world of shark, but there’s only one thing she wants and gonna try to have without a husband : a baby. So she goes to see her old best friend, Brady, a tennis player to convince him to help her.
It’s a nice story, with some hot scene, great characters, but I was a little disappointed that there’s not more chapters about her lawyer life. So it was a little too sweet for me.

Loved this story! Sylivie and Brady have been best friends forever. Sylvie is dissatisfied with her life and begins thinking she wants a baby. After checking out fertility options, she decides she wants a baby from her best friend. Only problem is she isn't sure he would agree to it. He is a famous tennis star and doesn't do commitments. She finally gets up enough courage to ask Brady. A funny, romantic ride with hot romance, family, friendship and more. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

I love Piper Sullivan and I love friend to lover stories so what better combo. What happens when a busy lawyer asks her globe hopping best friend to help her have a baby? Not what she expected. Sylvie never expected Brady to require it to happen the "old-fashioned way". Suddenly everything about Sylvie's life is turned upside down and she isn't even expecting yet. Curveball after curveball come her way, Christmas is fast approaching...will she get the gift she wants? Will Brady?

Friends to lovers romance. Amazing read. Well written story with a nice storyline and plot. I like that the characters and how they develop.
A passionate and emotional read with twists. Enjoyable and recommendable.

It is written in dual POV which gives the reader much more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. The epilogue is very welcomed and gives the story more to it and it finishes it better of than without it.
There are passion, hot scenes and lots of chemistry in this amazing story.

Lotss of extras

I liked this book. It's the usual story line, which I'm fine with. I like that she went after what she wanted and didn't let her jerky bosses walk all over her.
I loved the mothers.
Just know that there are like 12 short stories at the end of the book. I liked all of them, but to be honest I like most books. A few of the stories I would have loved too read as a full book or at least see a sequel. There is also several sneekpeeks to other books.
Hope you enjoy the stories!

A great friends to lovers romance with lots of feeling and warmth. You really want Sylvie and Brady to get their happy ever after. They have the usual troubles to work through, lots of miscommunication and misunderstandings but they do eventually work out that they are really meant to be together. You can't help but love their Mums who interfere, trying to be subtle about it but failing. A great holiday read.

This book I reviewed as an ARC. It is so hot it is burning up the pages. One would think that it would be all about the sex, however a big part of what makes this story so great is the friendship that exists between the two major characters. The easy way in which they are able to relate to each other and their mom’s makes everything about the sex hotter. If you have friends make sure and get them a copy.

The two have been friends since children. This come along and sideline them from their jobs. She wants children and wants him to help without marriage. He has another plan. Then if you add in other aspects of life like friends, family and such. Then it gets a lot more exciting, funny, intriguing, loving and so much more. This is one to curl up with. I highly recommend it . I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

Have you ever had a friend you would do anything for? Sylvie and Brady have been best friends since they were 10. When Sylvie decides she wants a baby, she asks Brady to help. Brady agrees but with stipulations. Will their friendship survive? I believe this is one of Ms. Sullivan's best stories. I loved both Sylvie and Brady and their moms were great characters too.

This quick read by Piper Sullivan of best friends to lovers was a sweet, sexy read. Enjoyed watching these two best friends fall in love when one decides that the other is the best person for the job of fathering the baby she wants. Lives change in the process & what was once a light, flirty friendship is now the deepest love that neither thought would happen for either of them, let alone with each other.

Sylvie is a lawyer and very single but wants a baby. Brady is a tennis pro and has been best friends with Sylvie since they were kids. He is surprised that Sylvie wants him to be her sperm donor and after thinking about it realized her would rather do it the old fashion way as opposed to a clinic. Sylvie soon realizes she has feelings for Brad and that she is pregnant but is Brady ready for a family? Great characters and an entertaining read. I liked it.

Yes, it's got plenty of steam, a sexy tennis star and his gorgeous best friend who've danced around their mutual attraction for years, and an HEA, and I can't really say anything negative about the plot or the quality of the writing , but I did not connect with either of the main characters and could not get too excited about the story.
