This book took a while for me to get into. I wasn't too big on Daniel but fell in love with Rose right away. If it wasn't for her I probably would have given up on the book. The secondary characters were a mess in this book, but they give you a reason to laugh. Pretty good book all the way around. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

This is a cute yet sweetly sexy romance story that is written in the dual POV for Daniel and Rose. Daniel wants to father his heir now at this time in his life and Rose is ready to have a baby. Daniel meets Rose at a tea shop where she is making a list of ideal traits in a man for what she needs in baby pursuit. She has her girlfriends helping her with said lists and he just happens to be listening to their conversation since he also wants a baby. He likes the look of Rose and he secretly takes her list , made some notations on her list, leaves his name and phone number down on the list in hopes she'll call him. Rose sees what he did and does give him a call. This sets off the most unique and interesting relationship between Daniel and Rose. Daniel is this billionaire playboy used to getting what he wants yet with Rose she challenged him and she made him work for things that used to come easy to him. They had this great connection though I will say at first Daniel came off as a bit of a jerk but he really had this great chemistry with Rose and their relationship, though started off unique and different, flourished and was great. There were some twists and turns. These main characters deal with issues with their family while trying to have a baby. Will Rose be able to help Daniel and will they be able to have the baby they both crave?

My Rating: 4.4 stars *****

Daniel needs an heir and Rose wants a baby. They meet at a restaurant and sparks fly between them. A slow burn and hot when it heats up. An enjoyable read.

I enjoyed the humorous tone of this story. Rose couldn't help but be drawn in by the sexy force that was Daniel. She has been wanting to have a baby, and Daniel believes himself to be the man who should give her one. I had a fun time reading this sexy hot one!

When the title + blurb paint a specific and formulaic picture, I expect to read just that. And it is not often a pleasant surprise to find a different and divergent story told.
So yes, she wants a baby, yes, he is willing to cater to that need... but the entire story arc of this book revolves around a completely different issue (an intimate hangup for the male lead), and even that is never resolved in the story!
She's very perfect, he's rich and hot, they have a scorching romance, small missunderstanding right before the end, and a very bland HEA. Nothing more to share, meh.

 Fate Gives A Helping Hand

Rosa and Daniel both want a baby but for different reasons. She wants a baby to love and to have as her own as she has always wanted to be a mum. Daniel has been persuaded by his mother that he needs an heir for their family business.  They are both lonely people and need some help. One day they meet by accident when they are having a meal at the same restaurant. Daniel , on his own, overhears Rosa's conversation with her three very pregnant cousins. She states the qualities that the dad of her baby must have. When her cousins leave. He gets up and approaches Rosa and says he has all those qualities and more.  Thus begins a journey that neither of them had foreseen or even dreamed about.  This is the beginning of their HEA.  Fate oftens confuses us but when it's right, as in this case, it was kismet that they should meet.  This is a wonderful story by Vivien Vale whose writing style I love and I have enjoyed all of her books that are available in ebook form on Amazon.co.uk.  So well written with a nice flowing style that draws you into the lives of Rosa and Daniel. You will discover what they find out about each other and as time goes by emotions become involved.  Attraction and lust becomes more passionate and eventually to love. How they get there on this adventure you will find out for yourselves when you buy a copy of this story.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  Her other books are also well worth while reading too. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Being surrounded by pregnant family members makes Rose realize that she wants a baby. Her plan was to go the unconventional route until she met Daniel. Daniel was listening into their conversation because he was interested in Rose the moment he saw her in the tea shop. Hearing her interest in having a baby has him swiping her list of requirements for the man involved. Walking over he lets her know he meets all of the things listed and gives her his number. Rose tries to forget about it but its too tempting so she calls to meet him. They hit it off and agree to see if they get along before bringing a baby into the mix. Everything seems perfect until Daniel tells Rose a problem he has and that so far he hasn't been able to move passed it. Can Rose help Daniel with his issue for them to have a future?

This was an amazing story about two people that both want a child but haven't found the right person to do so with. The chemistry between Daniel and Rose is instantaneous. This was a well written story with relatable characters. It will keep you entertained from beginning to the end. If you haven't read anything by this author than this will make you a fast fan. A must read in my opinion.

I received an ARC from the author via Booksprout in exchange for my voluntary and honest review.

Rose's and Daniel's story was well written, entertaining, and had me interested from the opening chapter. Daniel meets Rose at a tea shop where she's making a list of ideal traits in a man for her baby pursuit. She's making this list with the help of her girlfriends. Daniel, who also wants a baby, overhears their conversation. He had already focused in on Rose. He swipes the list, checks off his attributes, and writes his name and phone number down on the list hoping she'll call him. She does and their relationship is off to a most interesting start. The chemistry is instant and blazing hot. Steamy scenes....oh my!

Rose and Daniel are described well, they deal with family issues, passion, the normal twists and turns in a brand new relationship. I loved this story by Vivien Vale. You will too.

This is one well written storyline that will have you engaged from the first paragraph.

I read this book as part of an arc program. I really enjoyed this story about a billionaire named Daniel who overhears a woman named Rose telling her friends how much she wants a baby. Rose wants a baby and writes down a list of qualities the father should have. When Daniel reads the list to her and gives her his name and number, she is embarrassed but eventually decides to call him. Daniel thinks the idea of a baby to be an heir for his businesses is a good idea because he knows his family are not what he has in mind to run things. Daniel and Rose decide to get to know each other before they agree on moving forward. They have a great connection and are very attracted to each other, only Daniel has personal problems he has to address. This was a good story and I really enjoyed how Daniel didn't fight his feelings about Rose. They had great chemistry and had some steamy scenes. Good one.

Daniel is faced with an endless supply of women wanting to date him, but they all come through his mom who is trying to set him up. He doesn't want any of them and when faced with the latest date and challenge of having a baby he takes a stroll. Who knew this stroll would lead him to this quaint tea store where he would meet Rose? Rose is the only unmarried and un-pregnant one in the bunch. She desperately wants a baby, but only when true love is around. One thing leads to another with Daniel and Rose. What starts out as a challenge turns into so much more. They both discover wonderful and exciting things about the other, and that leads to true love. He will stop at nothing to give her the baby she so desperately wants. I loved this book.

This was a great book from Vivian Ward. First, that meet-cute between Daniel and Rose was awesome and quite hilarious. Second, I liked the whole idea behind their baby bargain. It wasn't your typical plot of paying someone then falling in love, which was a nice change of pace.  Their is spectacular chemistry, doubt, heartbreak, smoking hot passion, and one heck of a surprise. Loved it!  I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is a well written romance written from the dual POV of both Rose and Daniel. A cute, fun romance to read with no shortage of drama or crazy twists. They both come from dysfunctional families. They meet at a restaurant and have an immediate attraction to each other. He wants an heir and she agrees to give him one. Some extra drama when his x appears and claims her baby is his. No spoiler here, but this is an enjoyable book to read. The characters are likeable and the storyline kept me page turning.

Oh what a lovely hot sexy story. I just love Rose, she is down to earth, warm-hearted and wants a baby to love but finding the right man is the problem.
Daniel has a problem, he is hot,sexy, lots of money but no one to leave it to. When fate decided these two should meet well, little did they realise how much fun they would have.
At least they decided to get to know one another first BUT Daniel is hiding a secret...wow, never saw that coming . It doesn’t help either when an ex comes along causing mayhem. Poor Rose, never a dull moment.
A fantastic story that will make you laugh and feel hot all over!!!

Daniel, billionaire with a problem, he needs an heir; but how to find someone to carry his child is another issue all together; but when he over hears Rose Makin wants to have a baby he wants to know more about the beautiful woman and her baby daddy list of requirements.

Rose and Daniel spend time together to see how compatible they are and find out if they could have a baby together, the more time they spend together the more they want from each other but Daniel’s big issue could end all their hopes, can they have a baby?

This story was a little on the limp side for me. It was a bit wishy-washy for my liking, problems raised had no answers *sigh* anyway moving on

I really enjoyed this book but it did feel very long! Very likeable characters, I must admit to one bit of the book I was like ewwwww no no no, he has to wash it first 😳🤢 (not going to spoil the book but will say it’s in her apartment) maybe I read it wrong? 🤔 but anyway the rest of the story was great 😊 lovely ending 😊

Rose wants a baby, she is surrounded by family members who are pregnant. They are at a café discussing a baby shower and Daniel overhears Rose. Daniel approaches Rose, she wants to a baby, Daniel who is a playboy is under pressure from his mother to have an heir. With drama, great characters and a well written book this is a winner.

Daniel’s mom shows up unannounced at his office offering to find him a date. She talks about grandchildren and how he needs an heir. Daniel left the office and was thinking what his mother said. His mother acts like she doesn’t have grandchildren from his three sisters. They each have two children. Daniel ends up at this restaurant where he sees this group of women all but one is pregnant. They are talking about cravings and other pregnancy things. Rose is the only one not pregnant. She talks about how she wants a baby and the girls start making a list. Daniel overhears this list and laughs to himself. The girls leave and Rose is helping cleaning up. Daniel swipes the list off the table. He approached Rose and pulled out her list and started checking things off her list. Rose was embarrassed and started blushing. Daniel wrote his name and number on the paper. He told her to give him a call. He told Rose he can help her with her baby situation. They got together and he did his best to impress her. They spent as much time together as possible. He got to meet her family. Everything was going great until his ex-girlfriend showed up claiming this little boy was his. Everything was so turned around. He didn’t call or explain anything to her until the dna test was complete. I was routing for them. Great story line

Well written story with great storyline and plot. A sweet romance between two people that comes from families that are really not to be proud off. He wants a baby. She wants to give one to him. All the surrounding characters are messing things up but they are stronger than they think.
It is a nice read. Full of expanse and hotness. But absolutely worth the read. I like that the characters are relatable and likeable. A story about daring to take what you want and how to open up for the unknown things. The characters are well described and develops in a good way.

There are laughs, drama, family issues, passion, emotions, hot scenes, twists and lots of chemistry in this amazing story. It is written in dual POV which gives the reader much more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. Great romance with a twist and very enjoyable read though. The epilogue is very welcomed and gives the story more to it and it finishes better of than without it. The story flows nicely and it is very captivating.
