I have been waiting for the Fletcher brothers series since we met them in Last on the List! The series starts out with Wyatt, the reclusive brother of the bunch who has decided he wants a baby, minus the wife. After countless surrogate interviews, he still hasn’t found a woman he feels he can trust to carry his child. Meanwhile, his meddlesome matchmaking teenage niece, Everly (who was a child in Last on the List), refuses to let her uncle give up. In a fated (and funny) encounter, Everly meets Trista. Her desire to be a surrogate and have a stable home the next few months, coupled with Wyatt’s gut feeling, leads to her becoming his surrogate.
These two fought their feelings for so long, even after Trista was pregnant with the baby. Trista isn’t used to a family like the Fletchers, or help in general, so it takes her a minute to trust Wyatt. I did sigh in relief when they finally decided to give an actual relationship a try, though I felt like it was a little rushed given how late in the book it happened. I think the book lagged so much in the middle that it had to play catch up. Yes, they’d been intimate, but I would’ve enjoyed seeing more of them actually together as a couple.
I will say, I always appreciate this author for her curvy, tall heroines. I don’t see women like me a lot in romance so I related to the heroine’s thoughts, both good and bad. I definitely can’t wait for the other books because each brother is intriguing and this family is hilarious!
