THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE * LORI FOSTER
Compared to her smart, responsible twin, Laylee has always been labeled the party girl sister. Now she’s really screwed up by finding herself possibly accidentally pregnant, and definitely not in love. With her sister away on her honeymoon, Laylee’s only confidant is her guy friend, Knox. There’s mutual attraction there, yet they’ve been tiptoeing around it. But telling Knox everything may change . . . well, everything. Especially amid a comedy of pregnancy test errors, a robbery, a cat rescue mission—and the realization that Knox sees her as so much more than a pretty face . . . .
THE RANCHER’S UNEXPECTED FAMILY * MAISEY YATES
Ellie Jones helplessly watched her beloved sister, Sarah, spiral into addiction in high school, thanks to her toxic relationship with Ty Porter. Ellie, now a teacher, hasn’t seen Sarah in over a year when she gets a call from Child Protective Services that Sarah has a baby—and she’s surrendered her parental rights. Ellie races to the hospital, but someone’s beat her to rodeo champion Clark Porter, the baby’s uncle. Clark’s a good man and he’ll be damned if his niece grows up without him. Until they find a custody solution, Ellie will just have to move into his ranch house. Temporarily. Obviously. Except that they’re attracted to each other. Risking the unconventional family they’re creating is the last thing they need. Then again, if what they feel is deeper than attraction, it may be what they need most . . .

MY THOUGHTS:
THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE * LORI FOSTER
Laylee suspects she might be pregnant, and her first thought is to share this news with her twin sister, Laura. Unfortunately, Laura is currently away on her honeymoon. Laylee now knows Knox through marriage and, before long, they start spending more time together. There’s definitely a strong connection between them. However, Laylee is concerned about how Knox would react to her potential pregnancy. Their story unfolds rapidly, but it’s filled with heartwarming moments. From friendship to chemistry to love, Lori Foster’s story is sure to warm your heart.
THE RANCHER’S UNEXPECTED FAMILY * MAISEY YATES
“Walked into that hospital as two single people and walked out as parents..”
Clark Porter and Ellie Parks, siblings to both parents of a newborn, make the heartfelt decision to adopt the baby that neither want to give up. As co-parents, they will embark on a journey of navigating their lives together. Despite a shared past, reconnecting now that they have a new niece, Marjorie, is bound to alter their lives forever. It soon becomes apparent that Marjorie is not the only link between them. In fact, Clark and Ellie share a chemistry that demands exploration. This heartwarming and tender story is a delightful read.
Lori Foster is my favorite author, so this book was an easy choice for me. I love that the proceeds from this anthology go toward helping pets in animal shelters. Although I received this as a review copy, I’ll definitely be purchasing a copy for my keeper shelf.
Many thanks to Kensington and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
