If you can’t ask your best friend to get you pregnant then who can you ask?
Adalynn Tate made a promise to her childhood friend.
They vowed that they’d do everything together, including marrying their junior high crush and having all their babies at the same time.
Her friend has succeeded. She got the guy, and the first bun is in the oven.
Now it’s Adalynn’s turn to make her own dreams a reality.
When Adalynn’s best guy friend comes over, he sees the pamphlets for her to have a baby on her own.
Cash does what any best friend would do – offers his free, platonic services instead of extra medical bills.
He doesn’t know Adalynn has had a crush on him since junior high, something she’s done her best to lock down deep as not to threaten their friendship.
Adalynn knows in this world you don’t get to have it all: the baby, the man, the fairytale.
But Cash has other plans for her.

This is the second book in this series. They can be read as standalone
books. Adalyn and Cash have been friends forever. They are both in love with each
other but are afraid to voice their feelings for fear of losing the other. Then
Adalyn’s best friend Madison gets pregnant. The two had made a pact to have babies
together. Adalyn begins to think. She has been in love with Cash for so long
but things don’t show signs of changing from just friendship. She decides to
just have a baby on her own. When Cash sees the brochures for fertility clinics
and asks Adalyn about it. Cash has issues because of his childhood. He worries
about asking to much of Adalyn or taking up too much of her time. He doesn’t feel
good enough for her. But learning she wants a child right now changes things.
He offers to be the father. This could be the worst or the best thing for them.
It could force them to let the other know about their feelings or could drive
them apart. This book was a fun read. Almost to angsty for me though. Just
talk, you already spend all your free time together so you like each other. If
it turns out that the other doesn’t share your romantic feelings them that
would suck but you would move on. Madison and Adalyn are a trip together. Cash would
literally do anything for Adalyn. They do tend to let misunderstanding get between
them during this book. Imagine all the time they could have been together if
they just talked about it. A lot of people tell Adalyn that they believe Cash
is in love with her but she doesn’t believe them. I look forward to reading the
next book. I can’t wait to read about Adalyn’s brothers at some point. I wanted
to read about them after the first book but now I have more interesting
questions about them. Fantastic job Marie.
