Blisswood Brothers #2
Something More
Bennett Blisswood isn’t searching for more, but fate has other plans…
The one-night stand with Kelsey was my comfort when I needed it and the escape she wanted. The friends-with-benefits arrangement that followed was our fun —barn trysts included. No strings, simple, and easy. That’s us. Except Kelsey just threw multiple sticks with two pink lines at me. Looks like our best-laid plans have hit a plot twist.
Now we’ve been thrown together on a deeper level as we are about to become parents.
With no hesitation, I’m stepping right up for her and our kid—even making a crib with my bare hands. Of course, the town gossip mill is in full swing as they attempt to figure out the relationship status of Kelsey and me, and they’re not the only ones confused. Kelsey is beautiful, stubborn, and makes me want things. Call me traditional, but I make my intentions about our future very clear. She thinks I’m blinded by her growing belly, but her hesitation about us only challenges me to prove her wrong. And if she takes a chance on me, I can’t let her down. That’s the last thing I can do. Because I’m beginning to feel that Kelsey and me… we may just be something more…
This friends (with benefits)-to-lovers, surprise-baby romance is the second standalone book in the small town Blisswood Brothers series that follows the brothers as they run their family winery and farm, Olive Owl.

I didn't think the surprise baby trope would not work with Bennett and Kelsey's story. But I loved it. I loved how well their relationship and story flowed. I think the shift from their FWB arrangement to more is really smooth and it felt natural. I loved both of their characters and they seriously fit together. I loved their sweet romance.

3.75 stars—- SOMETHING MORE is the second instalment in EH Lyon’s contemporary adult THE BLISSWOOD BROTHERS erotic romance series. This is salon owner Kelsey Bridge, and Bennett Blisswood’s story line. SOMETHING MORE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from previous storyline is revealed where necessary.
Note: Some of the events of SOMETHING MORE cross over with and run parallel to some of the events of book one SOMETHING RIGHT.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Bennett and Kelsey) SOMETHING MORE is a friends to lovers relationship focusing on salon owner Kelsey Bridge, and Bennett Blisswood. After the death of his father, Bennett Blisswood found solace in Kelsey Bridge, both agreeing to a friends with benefits relationship but nothing more. Weeks later Kelsey surprises Bennett with the announcement that she is pregnant, and Bennett is the father. Wanting everything with Kelsey going forward, Bennett must tread carefully as Kelsey struggles with issues of low self esteem, aggravated by a lack of support from her immediate family.What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Kelsey and Bennett, and the potential fall-0ut as feelings get hurt over misunderstandings.
The relationship between Kelsey and Bennett is a friends with benefits relationship that turns into something more. Bennett has watched from the sidelines as his brother’s life first imploded when he discovered he missed the first few years of his daughter’s life. Bennett wants to be in his child’s life from the beginning but Kelsey is struggling with their relationship going forward. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and seductive without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters include Kelsey’s parents Dr. And Cheryl Bridge, and Grayson’s new carpentry assistant Drew. We are reintroduced to Bennett’s siblings Knox, Grayson and Brooke (Something Right #1), and their sister Lucy. Knox’s story line is next in SOMETHING GOOD.
SOMETHING MORE is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is predictable but engaging, captivating and emotional; the romance is provocative; the characters are dynamic and charismatic.

Based on the ending of Something Right, I was anxious to read Something More. I was not disappointed. You do not need to read Something Right, as you will get all the essential information as needed. But this reader recommends Grey’s story.
I love Kelsey, she is driven and smart. She makes her dreams happen and gives Bennett a run for his money. Their relationship is a fun journey, were they ever just friends with benefits?
I am ready for Knox’s story.
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

This is the second book in The Blisswood Brothers series and it was just as amazing as the first book, Evey Lyon didn’t disappoint when she continued this series. I think I actually love Bennett and Kelsey! Their relationship all started out with Kelsey dropping off a “grief casserole” and an accidental pregnancy. Trying to keep their relationship on the “down low” was like the worst kept secret in Bluetop and it was funny when they realized everyone knew they were seeing each other. It was so sweet to watch their relationship progress, even with their struggles with communication. Their banter back and forth was everything and to see them finally open up about their fears to each other was satisfying. The ending scene sets us up for the next book with a big “uh oh!” And I can’t wait to read Knox story next!

This is the second book in the series and the beginning actually runs parallel to the first book. It is a nice friends to lovers story with an oops pregnancy. Most of the characters were introduced in the first book, but here Kelsey, Brooke's best friend and Bennett, Grayson's brother are fleshed out.
Kelsey gives Bennett some comfort sex after the death of his father. Then they become friends with benefits, until a couple of slips, finds them expecting a baby. Bennett is all in, but Kelsey has "issues". Bennett is a sweetheart and gives her space until she comes around. It is an entertaining story with lively banter. Looking forward to reading the next book. I like that there was never any discussion about terminating the pregnancy.

Something More is the second book in The Blisswood Brothers series, like with first book I found it to be a wonderful fun book. I enjoyed following Bennett and Kelsey’s friends to lovers romance. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Four stars for this cute FWB to lovers situation!
Neither Bennett or Kelsey were looking for anything serious with this FWB situation-and they were both perfectly OK with that….until fate had other plans. I absolutely loved the fire inside of Kelsey. Strong independent female characters really get my gears going and this was no different! Kelsey and Bennett’s relationship flowed wonderfully with one another, even before lil Coffee Bean was introduced. Normally the ‘accidental pregnancy’ trope doesn’t do it for me, but I really liked the idea of this book and I am so glad that I read it! E.H Lyon may have converted me with this one!
I really appreciated the interactions with Kelsey and her parents- specifically the relationship between Kelsey and her father, and how Bennett plays into that situation. Bennett is a heartthrob, the spice was *chefs kiss* and the fluff was off the charts. I definitely recommend this!

5 Star review of Something More (Blisswood Brothers #2) by E H Lyon
I really enjoyed the previous book in the Blisswood Brothers series but I loved Something More which is Bennett and Kelsey’s story. This was an entertaining story that left me a smile on my face and I cannot wait to read more in the series.
We met both characters in the previous book as Kelsey is Brooke's best friend. She has always been around the Blisswood brothers and sister so there is history. I fell hard and fast for Bennett, such a swoon worthy man and I loved everything about him. He is such a kind, caring protective man.
All it takes is a few occasions when passion over rules common sense to change the course of a person’s life. I loved how all in Bennett was from the moment the news broke and his determination to prove to Kelsey that he was there for her and that they could make a future together. It was a heart warming, sweet, romantic love story with characters whose story you cannot help but become invested in.
The camaraderie between the Blisswood siblings is heart warming and I loved how all up they are in Bennett and Kelsey’s relationship. Add in a town full of people that loved to be involved and you are in for a good story.
I love the sound of the Olive Owl winery and farm and would love to visit.

Review: 4.5/5 ⭐️
Steam: 3.5/5 🔥
#somethingmore is the next book in the #blisswoodfamilyseries by @authorehlyon
Bennett is known as the planner, romantic and overall decent guy. He might not show his romantic side to girls, but when it comes to the family business at the winery and inn he’s amazing at what he does. He’s feeling upset since his father passed, when an old friend comes by they have a couple drinks. One leads to another and clothes come off. He is trying to figure out what they are, if there’s a real thing past friends with benefits. It all comes to a halt when he’s about to become a daddy. Can he convince his once fling that being a family is the right move and they belong together? Or will his stubbornness make him say the wrong thing to a pregnant woman and have her walk away?
Kelsey feels like the black sheep of her family. She might not be a doctor, but she no slouch. She owns her own hair salon and is successful. But when a fling that she’s attempted to stay away from is very persistant, and they keep falling back into bed together it leads to a surprise and she’s pregnant. This is one more thing added to the stress with her family. Can she prove that even though this baby wasn’t planned she will be a good parent? Can she see Bennett for the good man he is and allow him past her walls to have a good life for their child?
I’m loving this series! It is funny, swoony, and hotttttt. I love this family, the relationships and the stories. Bennett is so much more than I thought. He accepted the pregnancy and was involved from the getgo. Obviously unplanned pregnancy is a shocker, but he took it all in stride. Kelsey is strong and independent but when she finally gave into their relationship it was perfect. She was the prefect partner for Bennett. I can’t wait for more and definitely recommend this series!

I loved this friends-to-lovers romance story of Kelsey and Bennett. E.H. Lyon gives us two lovable characters that are easy to relate to and a joy to read about. She grabs your attention right from the start and keeps you intrigued until the last word.
We learned in Something Right that Bennet's family lost their family. In walks Kelsey, a family friend for years, with yet another casserole. Well, this kind-hearted gesture turns into a one night of comfort and passion. That one night turn into a friends with benefits situation and that is where things get interesting. Bennett has always liked Kelsey and her sassiness so when she shows up with a bag of pregnancy tests that are all positive, he is over the moon but is Kelsey? How will she deal with the news and the excited Bennett? What happens when her family finds out? Will Bennett convince her that they can be together and not just because of the baby but as a couple?
I loved the way that Kelsey kept Bennett on his toes. He had to work hard for Kelsey's affection. She is such an independent and feisty woman that does not want to lean on anyone or rely on anyone. When she becomes pregnant she is stunned and not sure if Bennett wants to be with her because of the baby or because he truly loves her.
Bennett was a swoon-worthy boyfriend with the way he was protective of Kelsey. He pulled out all the stops for her to show her that she was the one.
Although you can read Something More as a standalone, I suggest reading Something Right to get an insight into the siblings and the friendships that are built. I cannot wait for Knox's story as I feel that it will give us a few laughs.

It was never supposed to be anything but a little no strings fun, a simple hook-up here and there... but that all changed when Kelsey broke the news that she was pregnant. Now Bennett finds himself planning a future with a woman that he never saw coming, he's in it for the long haul though, but Kelsey has her reservations. She thinks he is just getting ahead of himself because of the impending birth of their child, but he is determined to prove her otherwise!
Something More is a sweet and heartfelt friends to more romance that will hit you right in the feels. These two were just friends using one another for a little fun here and there, but somewhere along the way it became more, two pink little lines kind of more. Once Bennett found out she was expecting he was ready to move heaven and earth to make her happy and get her to agree to say "I do" but Kelsey wasn't so sure she was ready for all of that. So Bennett took it as a challenge, he wanted to prove to her that they were actually perfect for one another.... and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him try to convince her. He was such sweetheart, ensuring her that he was there for her, helping her tackle all her insecurities and personal baggage, and showing her what they could be. It was such a touching happily ever after, one I won't soon forget. I cannot wait to see where the next installment leads me, I am really starting to love Blisswood Brothers!! Highly recommend this one, it's words are certain to touch your heart!

This book had everything I wanted in a contemporary romance. The time line was perfect, the relationships progressed smoothly and within what I would consider reasonable for a book. The characters were realistic, relatable, easily bonded with and I couldn’t get enough of Kelsey and Bennett. There was an appropriate amount of spice to keep it adult and enthralling. I couldn’t say enough about this book to describe how much fun I had reading it. It had the friends to lovers, it had the small town vibe, it had surprise pregnancy (which I didn’t think I would like and have avoided in my reading choices until this book), it had a happily ever after. *chefs kiss*
***Spoilers below:***
The only thing I would have liked more of or I thought it was missing was more of the backstory on Kelsey’s eating disorder. It’s briefly mentioned in a way mid-way-ish through and gives foreshadowing that it is going to come up again in a big way later. I expected she’d have some body image issues or eating issues during her pregnancy that Bennet would help to support her and help her overcome in that sexy-sweet Bennett way. It just felt like it was lacking circling back to that toward the end like maybe it was edited out or it was decided that we wouldn’t go in that direction. Regardless I loved this book and wish I could read more of their story but I’m excited to read the other stories E.H. Lyon has planned for us in this series.

My new favorite from E. H. Lyon, One of my favorite tropes is Friends to lovers and it's so well done that it's impossible not to love this story
.
In this second book in the series, the story goes back in time when the Blisswood brothers lose their father. Bennett was closest to his parents and in that difficult moment Kelsey appears at the door of his house.
.
As old acquaintances they had never had a chance to talk and get to know each other, until that night. With a few drinks in between and casseroles from the neighbors, a posible friendship arises and a night that they will not be able to forget. As the relationship between the two flows and they explore this friendship with rules and benefits a pregnancy test makes them rethink their paths
.
Kelsey and Bennett have excellent dialogues and the chemistry between them is perfect as they manage to become friends while becoming lovers and building something of their own .I love that there is no big problem that make them break and that the storie has his own rhythm. I really liked Kelsey and Bennett and with each book the desire to continue towards the next Blisswood brother grows
.

Thanks to E H Lyon and Victory Editing for give me this great book in exchange for my honest opinion I really enjoyed reading it and I look forward to the next book in the serie

The Blisswood Brothers series is quickly becoming my new favorite series with the absolutely BEST characters and FANTASTIC stories!!! “Something More” is a friends to lovers romance where a friends with benefits situation becomes so much more than either Bennett or Kelsey expected.
Bennett is positively swoon worthy!! I think he knew from the beginning that things with Kelsey were always going to become more. She makes him smile with just a text and his heart speed up with just a look. Kelsey knows from the beginning that she could fall for Bennett if there aren’t rules set in place to keep their arrangement strictly as a hookup. Having felt inferior all her life, she doesn’t think she deserves a life with Bennett.
When a surprise results from their friends with benefits arrangement, Bennett knows he wants to convince Kelsey to go all in with them. He just has to convince her that it’s because of more than their bundle of joy. I adored Bennett and his pursuit of Kelsey. He would push for more just enough so she knew he was all in but didn’t push things past her comfort level. These two together are PERFECTION and their story is a MUST READ!!! I couldn’t get enough of this couple and read this book in one sitting!
I received an advance copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was such a sweet story! I absolutely adored Bennett; I think he may be my new book boyfriend.
When Bennett’s father passes away, him and his brother and sister Lucy are left with Olive Owl winery and farm. Bennett’s friend Kelsey brings him a casserole a few days later and in a heat of passion and trying to fill a void from grief these two immediately cross the line
These two go from friends to friends with benefits real quick, their chemistry is amazing and their banter is snarky. Kelsey tries to keep Bennett at a distance but Bennett tries to break their rules as often as he can. He’s such a romantic and is sweet as pie.
His brothers are always heckling him, and her bestie is always trying to get it out of Kelsey that she’s sneaking around.
When too much careless passion leads to a surprise that completely flips their lives and future; Kelsey has to learn to let someone take care of her for once.
I absolutely loved watching their relationship bloom from friendship to lovers. Their passion was off the charts.
Thank you for an ARC for my honest review !

Something More, book two in the Blisswood Brothers series by E.H. Lyon, is a friends (with benefits), surprise pregnancy romance with small-town vibes.
Some authors don't manage to sell the friends-to-lovers trope to me. It's tricky to make a relationship between friends that suddenly experience feelings of love believable. E.H. Lyon did a great job at it, the relationship between Kelsey and Bennett evolved naturally and made sense.
I liked how Bennett handled the surprise pregnancy, even with his inner turmoil going on, it was important for him to take care of Kelsey.
Kelsey was a strong heroine, I liked how she evolved during the story.
The steam started early in the story (about 20%), but then it slowed down for a while. I would rate it 2,5/5.
I finished this story in less than 24 hours, it's easy to read. The author sets a clear picture of the world the characters, who are lovable and relatable, live in.
Something More was a light, entertaining story that's low on drama. A story that warmed my insides and left me with a satisfied, content smile.

A one night of passion that starts a very unexpected arrangement between Bennet and Kelsey, who known each other for years but never actually been friends. The chemistry between them is really good and their banter the best.
Little by little Bennet starts realising that he really wants Kelsey in his life not just in his bed. Kelsey has lots of reservations and she has plans and a future she wants to build on her own but when the unplanned happens she really starts seeing a different side of Bennet that had me swooning for him.
I like how Bennet and Kelsey's relationship progresses, they really get to know each other and they are exactly what each other needs. Little bean was the best surprise ever and I adore how the Blisswood Family is there to support each other.

I am in love with the Blisswood Brothers! This is Bennett's story, he helps run the Olive Owl bed and breakfast and winery with his brother Knox. He is busy enough and feels he doesn't have time for a relationship, he also has trauma from his past he would rather ignore. However, things change when his father dies and Kelsey brings a casserole to show her condolences.
Kelsey owns the hair salon in town and is trying to build her business and find a larger business space, she doesn't need to deal with a relationship. Fate has other plans and she decides she can handle a friends with benefits with Bennett since they can't seem to keep their hands off each other.
A surprise and the growth of their friendship throws a kink in their 'keeping things simple' plan.
This was a wonderful and fun, witty story. Both characters grow and change throughout the story and help each other through past trauma. This was a fantastic story and I highly recommend the Blisswood Brothers series!!! I can't wait for Knox's story.

I’m loving everything about the Blisswood Brothers and Bennett and Kelsey’s journey is the perfect addition to the series. We have met both characters in book one, Bennett is a Blisswood and Kelsey is Brooke’s best friend but that doesn’t mean you need to read the previous book to enjoy Something More but honestly I believe one Blisswood man would never be enough. Kelsey spends a lot of time with her best friend and the Blisswood family so it’s really no surprise when she embarks on a friends with benefits relationship with Bennett but what is a surprise is the feelings that rush to the surface as this couple spend intimate time together.
So what does the future hold for this couple, one click and find out…..
I fell hard and fast for Bennett and Kelsey is the girl I would love in my corner, I swooned, I giggled and I smiled a lot throughout this beautifully written sweet yet steamy romance. Something More ticked all my boxes and I highly recommend this gem of a read. I’m now looking forward and excited to get to know the rest of the Blisswood family.

I really enjoyed this book!!
Bennett runs and owns the bed and breakfast Olive Owl, and the family winery and farm with his brothers. Their father just passed away.
Kelsey owns the hair salon New Moon. She just moved back to town a year ago from Arizona.
When Kelsey brings a casserole to Bennett and to offer her condolences, they hit it off and talk about what's been going on in their lives. They end up hooking up and Kelsey leaves before Bennett wakes up.
They both agree it's not the time to start a relationship, and that their lives are too busy. But they can't resist how good they are together and keep sneaking around. They finally agree to be friends with benefits. Then one slip up results in a positive pregnancy test. Bennett wants to be a family with Kelsey and the baby and will do whatever it takes to prove they would be perfect to Kelsey.
I really liked this book! Bennett and Kelsey are perfect together and I can't wait for more of the Blisswood brothers!

The Blisswood Brothers are EVERYTHING!
E.H. Lyon’s “Something More,” Book Two of the Blisswood Brothers small-town contemporary romance series, is even BETTER than Book One, and I didn’t think that was possible honestly because I adore Brooke and Grayson! A friends-with-benefits situation creates some complications for middle brother Bennett and Brooke’s best friend, Kelsey, but this story is so friggin’ adorable. They have all these awww moments that make me love them more and more as the story unfolds, and the twists they deal with just make their HEA that much sweeter. And the white-hot chemistry? OMG…the naughty bits are insanely good, and Lyon manages to make them even more meaningful by tempering them with a little humor or some feels that neither character saw coming. Add to that the family focus that she places on this series that makes it so special, and we have another E.H. Lyon winner. I am so very much looking forward to Knox's story! ALL KINDS OF STARS HERE!

Bennett Blisswood was looking for a good time, not a long time. Good thing Kelsey Bridge was looking for the same thing. One time turned into a friends with benefits thing. They thought they were being stealth but they're secret is widely known among the Blisswoods. Then the lines turned pink and life as they knew completely changed.
Bennett's fear about Kelsey giving birth was truly palpable. It was understanding since his mother died in childbirth. So the things he said to Kelsey weren't meant to be hurtful but came across that way. He loved her so much and was all in, but Kelsey was the one pulling out the stops. I loved how his brothers rallied him and gave him the prodding he needed to get his thoughts together and talk with Kelsey. And when Kelsey finally came around... sigh. That was icing on the cake. So was her tribute to his dad. I'm loving these Blisswoods something fierce.
I received a complimentary copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

After reading Something Right, the first book in the Blisswood Brothers Series, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Something More because once I got a glimpse of what was going to happen in Bennett's life, I couldn't wait to read it and his story did not disappoint. The more I get to know this Blisswood family, the more I grow to admire them for their fierce protectiveness and love for one another. Bennett is a sweet guy with a heart of gold and the further into the book I got, the more I really liked him as a person. And if possible, Kelsey is even more likeable and adorable! She handled their situation with self-assurance and poise and a maturity that was refreshing. I really enjoyed this read and look forward to the next two books in this series. I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to voluntarily read and review an ARC for NetGalley.

Something More by Evey Lyon
We are back to Bluetop and the Olive Owl with none other than on other of our Blisswood Brothers Bennett. This is the second book in the Blisswood Brothers series and as you can see it is Bennett and Kelsey’s story. This one is a friends to lovers/ friends with benefits with a surprise thrown in. Kelsey has feelings for Bennett but something has her doubting what they can have. I think it has something to do with her family because I mean come on her dad is kinda of an ass. Also Bennett can be a bit more convincing in my opinion at the beginning he finally does get the point and dies the work but at firsts I don’t think he makes things that much easier with his easygoing it’s all good attitude. I love that it works out. It was a great story and highly recommend.

Book 2 of 4 in the Blisswood Brothers Series is a friends with benefits small town romance. Bennett Blisswood is in a friends with benefits relationship with Kelsey Bridge. What should of been a one night stand has both friends wanting more without the relationship; Bennett is the one who proposes the deal but Kelsey sets the boundaries. Boundaries Bennett is pushing before the unexpected pregnancy. The surprise has Bennett wanting all in but Kelsey is still in doubts.
My rating:☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️(5/5)
I loved this book! Took a while (stupid work!) but little by little I managed to finish it. I didn't think it was possible to but Bennett is even more lovable than Grayson! Bennett seemed to be into the relationship with Kelsey even early on. Him going all in from the second he found out was endearing even more so was him trying to woo her.
🚨🚨Spoilers below read at your own risk🚨🚨
Bennett is all in!! Kelsey being an independent bad ass and not messaging Bennett first has him on edge. Bennett reminding her over and over (throughout their friends with benefits relationship and as he is trying to figure our their relationship) that she should have stayed in his bed the morning after their one night stand had me squealing! He isn't shy with his affection and is even willing to defend her from her family even though she is more than capable of standing in her own two feet in that area. That cliffhanger has me dying to get my hands on book 3!

4 Stars for the cute friends-with-benefits romance!
Bennett and Kelsey are just too cute together. They tried to be so sneaky with their friends-with-benefits relationship. I loved the strong woman that Kelsey was ... she didn't want to be dependent on anyone ... not her parents or a man .. no one! Then there's Bennett ... who wouldn't love him ... no really who? All the Blisswood brothers sound like hunks. This book made me laugh-out-loud at the situations Bennett and Kelsey found themselves in. Then there were the steamy scenes ... all I can say is WOW! The author set up the rest of the books in the series quite nicely and I can't wait for the next one.
I received an early copy courtesy of the author through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

ARC reader and feeling so grateful for the opportunity!
Firstly I want to be honest I have never really been a surprise pregnancy trope kind of person. I feel most authors throw it in and it just doesn’t seem to fit, makes the story awkward and not something you can connect with. But this book was amazing!! Bennett is the perfect mix of sweet and sexy, and does he have a way with words. From the dirty talk that has you drooling to sweet words that stop your heart. This book honestly just made me smile. It was romantic and sweet and the plot line flowed beautifully. Such a wonderful break in my reading.
As a woman who doesn’t play to venture towards kids any time soon this book had me looking at my husband and asking him if he wants to make a baby!! Hahaha

Number 2 in the Blisswood Family series I enjoyed this just as much as the first one. This story follow Bennett and Kelsey who start as friends with benefits but this then develops into something much much more. Kelsey is best friends with Brooke whose relationship with Grayson is covered in the first book, so there is a connection with the characters. The way the story and characters entwine with each other flows really well. Like the first book emotional topics are covered and there is also plenty of humour. I love this family! They come across as really genuine, friendly people who just happen to be super hot if the descriptions are anything to go by! Thanks Victory Editing Netgalley Co-op for giving me the opportunity to read this. Will definitely be looking out for the other two!

This is the 2nd book in the Blisswood series and it can perfectly read as a stand alone.
Haven't read the first one, but things you should know are explained in this book.
Love this authors writing style.
The story is good.
It starts after Bennett's father funeral, but it is just the start. Bennett and Kelsey are "just friends with benefits", but.... there is a secret pregnancy involved. Loved the way this author put this trope in this story.
Kelsey is a smart woman and loooooove Bennett.
This book is great is you love love, friends with benefits, great storyline and some fun.
I highly recommend it and can't wait for Knox' book.
Now I'm off reading the first book.

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for a review of this story.
Normally, surprise baby plots aren’t my thing, but this book turned out to be the exception. The entire FWB to future parents dynamic was cute. The couple was adorable and I loved reading every second of their story. More so, I love series like these that are stand alone, but there’s an overall verse. I love seeing the side characters progress as well.
Bennett and Kelsey were wonderful. Bennett makes an adorable main character and I loved his cocky nature every step of the way. Also loved Kelsey’s strong nature. Their relationship was great. Loved it!
