Resumen del Editor

Two days after my boyfriend dumps me, my business goes belly up, and the sperm bank declines my credit card, a gorgeous rock star offers to whisk me away for two weeks of hot, steamy, all-expenses paid...therapy.

I should say no.

I’m not looking for a fling.

I want a man who’ll be a father to the baby I’m desperate to conceive. Or, at the very least, a guy willing to knock me up before we go our separate ways.

Zack isn’t that guy. He’s my best friend’s oldest pal, and in my social circle for the long haul. I could never ask him a favor like this.

That would be crazy.

The problem?

Turns out, I’m crazy. And so is Zack....

Road trip to Hidden Kill Bay!

I love this series, and Zack and Colette have such a wonderful story. Sebastian and Lili give me all the feels.

After leaving Lips on Fire, one of the most successful rock bands in the world for several years, Zack is ready to launch his solo career. Losing the woman he’s carried a torch for many years to marry his douche ex-band mate—Cutter’s not really a douche—Zack is leaving Hidden Kill Bay to spend a couple weeks far from civilization, so he can get some songs written for his upcoming release.

Colette, in the dumps over her breakup with Fernando, just wants to have a baby. Fernando wasn’t in as much a hurry as Colette with the baby plans.

Not wanting to see his friend in such a sad state, Zack invites Colette to join him on his retreat. Colette and Zach talk about everything and anything on the way, and there seems to be some sort of attraction going on between them. When Zack hears about Colette’s desire to have a baby soon, he offers to help her with the baby making—the fun way. There are some seriously hot scenes with these two, and I swooned at the fact that they both love so hard, and kinda quick.

I loved discovering what a sweetie Zack is, and how caring a fun Colette is. There’s a little catchup with a few of the Hidden Kill Bay crew. Great narration by Lili and Sebastian. I’ve already listened to it twice.

excellent

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

The Rock Star's Baby Bargain was a fun Audio!

Audio Review -

First off - I have been a sucker for listening to Lili Valente's audio books. And to add that she records as well, it makes it so real! She never fails and has this amazing voice to bring her characters to life. And hello Sebastian York! My oh my. His voice as Zack would give me the goosebumps. These two bring the dynamics of the characters to life! I could not get enough and I laughed a lot.

Story review -

The Rock Star's Baby Bargain was the most fun book I have read in a long time! Fun, flirty, and fabulous!! I needed this book! Especially now. I snort laughed and it was the first time in a long time that I did that!

Zack is our rockstar and Colette is my favorite leading lady. Her life has completely hit rock bottom. She knows one thing for sure, she is ready to move on with the next stage of her life. When Zack invites Colette to a little get away, I knew this was what they both needed. There was so many laughs and so many heart stopping moments I was gitty through it all!

Then it happens. Zack steals the show with his words and I am a goner. I have been enslaved to the rest of this book and my world tilts. Colette and Zack needed their moment and I loved how Lili gave it to them!

Super sweet, fun and sexy!!

I absolutely adore Zack and Colette!! What an incredibly sweet, fun and sexy story about this incredible couple. They are so good together. I mean truly perfect complements to each other. I love how hard he falls for her! Swoon!!

They strike quite the bargain but of course it turns into so much more than they bargained for. In a good way of course!

That Chip though, wanted to throat punch him! Putting that fear into Colette and almost messing everything up.

I enjoyed this audiobook so much! And let me say that Sebastian York and Lili Valente are absolutely fantastic as Zack and Colette. I love having awesome narrators bring the characters and story to life for me!!It makes an awesome book even more awesome!!

Zack says something that I absolutely love and will always remember-“No need to borrow trouble from tomorrow when today is so good.” Definitely words to live by!!

Another fantastic LV book!!

Nice Romance!

The Hero: Zach - he has been in a top rock band for years and just decided to quit the band and try for a solo career. He grew up with his grandparents, whom he still lives with when he isn’t on tour. His mother was an addict, and he never knew his father. He is in a local bar in his hometown when he hears a voice he knows, it is the dodgy boyfriend of a woman he has known for a while through a mutual friend. A woman he has always been very attracted to. Zach hears the guy saying some demeaning things about her and he doesn’t like it.

The heroine: Colette - her ex-boyfriend Fernando just dumped her because they were at different places in their lives. She was desperate to have a baby, he wanted to get married, but she didn’t think getting married was necessary to have a baby. She had been telling him for a while that she was going to have a baby with or without him and he wasn’t listening, so after going to the sperm bank to get inseminated, he blew up and dumped her.

The Story: Zach goes to see Colette after leaving the bar. He tells himself he just wants to see if she is ok, not because she is finally single and so is he. Colette isn’t doing well, she is crying and eating ice cream. She is depressed from not only being dumped, but also because her trip to the sperm bank ended without positive results and she lost her job. So now she has no boyfriend, and no way to pay for more sperm or in vitro. Though Zach cheers her up when he invites her to his vacation retreat where he plans on writing songs for his solo album.

The attraction between these two flares up right away and they end up making the decision to have a baby together. I kind of like this premise, since it isn’t about a surprise pregnancy but a planned one even though they are technically not dating each other, though their chemistry is undeniable. I liked both Zack and Colette as characters and the romance was terrific.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Lili Valente (also the author), and Sebastian York. Sebastian is one of my favorites, he has a deep, gravelly voice and is great at voice acting (rather than just reading or narrating). I was surprised at how much I like Lili Valente’s voice. It is youthful and feminine and very pleasing, and she also is really good at voice acting.

Baby Making Romance FTW

I love this author's Knocked Up romances and this one was no exception. Super sexy and fun. Low angst. Sweet and sexy hero, likable heroine, and villain you'll love to hate. Wish it was a little longer, but I always want another epilogue. The narration was perfect. Loved these two together.

Fantastic Narrators and Awesome Story!

I will ALWAYS listen to any novels narrated by Lili Valente. I love her voice, and she does a GREAT job on the male voices, as well. And we all love SebYo. He does awesome, as always.

I have read all the other books in this series, and they aren't necessary in order to listen to this book, but SO worth it! ;)

There is chemistry in all the books, but this one is insta-chemistry, and it's kind of nice to get right to the "fun" times.

I really enjoyed getting both characters' back stories as the book went on. They are great characters and their story is fantastic. If you love HEAT with heart and a good story, including some twists and suspense, this is for you!!!

A delight to the auditory senses! 5+ stars!

The Rock Star's Baby Bargain was such a delight to listen to! Thank goodness I was listening to it at home because had I been in the car or out in public, I would have probably gotten the side-eye or curious looks for all the snickering and swooning I was doing. Penned by Lili Valente, the author narrates this audiobook as well, but this time around, she's paired up with Sebastian York, who has always been a crowd-pleaser for many of my fellow romance listeners out there. With their combined efforts, they brought Zack and Colette's story to a level of rom-com awesomeness that left me happily sated and wondering how the heck almost 6 1/2 hours had flown by so quickly. Valente clearly knows rom-com and she and York obviously know just what to do in order to take an already fantastic story up a notch or ten by breathing even more life into the characters. Five-plus stars for The Rock Star's Baby Bargain. ♥

Cute

Cute story overall. Moved extremely fast/insta love. Some really sexy scenes and some super sweet moments too, which I loved. Good narration. 4 stars all around.
