Publisher's summary

Rachel wants one thing in life, a family of her own. But she's not going to get it without a man. Or can she?

They may have ruined their chances in the past, but Matt and Trevor know Rachel's the woman for them. When they discover her plans, they tell her they'll give her exactly what she wants...the old-fashioned way. Because once they get their hands on her, they'll hold her close and never let go.

Slightly different from the others. . .

Quick and entertaining. . . .

Rachel was starting a new job, putting her life together and there was one thing that was missing. She wanted her own family. If she had to go through it alone she was all for it. She had the new job under wraps. She was starting work where her sister just left on maternity leave. She never expected that working with her new bosses would be a challenge. She was disillusioned when she went to introduce herself to one of them at a rodeo. He set her straight. He set her so straight she only went to work to do her job and nothing else. Matt and Trevor had to step there game up because Rachel was determined to get what she wanted even if she had to skip a few steps. That was when things go interesting.

Narrator did a good job bringing things to life and allowing the story to carry on while I carried on with my day. Kylie Stewart made the voices come to life.

Rachel finds 2 cowboys to make a family

Rachel has her Masters and is starting her new job, but still wants someone special in her life to start a family with. When she attempts to introduce herself to her new boss Matt, he misunderstands who she is and offends her. Too bad Matt realizes too late that Rachel is everything he and Ethan have been looking for in their Bridgewater relationship.
A good choice for a very sexy, lightweight time-out; but still has loving relationships and a HEA.
Stewart does a creditable job with the narration.
I enjoyed listening to this book as a Romance Membership selection.

Meh...

Audible’s Romance Package is fan-freakin’-tastic! I love being able to explore new-to-me authors and short novellas without feeling “invested.” Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood to enjoy this book. I’ll give it another try and update this review at that time. This review isn’t as much for the book as it is for Audible’s genius, offering all-you-can read with plenty of well-loved authors. No, you don’t get to keep the books, which is fine for me because it is extremely rare for me to read a book more than once. The only negative about the Romance Package is the lack of ability to track which books I’ve read. Hopefully, leaving a review will take care of that. I wouldn’t purchase or spend a credit on this book, but I’ll definitely give it another try as long as it remains in this program. This, along with the new channels that offer a super wide variety of listening material, including several full-length audiobooks, keeps Audible head and shoulders above any competitors they might have! Audible! My Number One guilty pleasure!

Not my favorite of the series, but still good

This wasn't my favorite book of the series, but still a good romance. Ethan and Rachel get off to a rocky start when she comes up to introduce herself as his new assistant and he inadvertently makes her feel like she's not good enough for him. Luckily, Matt is able to help Rachel see that they want her and she gives them a chance to make her feel loved. The thing I disliked was Rachel being a martyr, thinking she was going to ruin Matt's baseball career by being pregnant and that she should be out of their lives. They already agreed to be a family and try for a baby so I didn't really understand why she would flip her way of thinking. As with the other books in the series, it is a HEA. The narration was good and had steamy romance scenes.

Overall okay

Overall it was okay I just wish the story had more depth. I think with more depth it would be a 5. However it was a good story with great sex scenes.

Wish it had an epilogue

I really enjoyed these short stories however I kinda wished this one was a little longer or included an epilogue. I would have loved to know if they had a boy or a girl...things like that. Otherwise it was really enjoyable.

Short and Sweet Story

I love this series, mainly for the fact that you need not read them in order to understand what is happening. The narrator was skillful in changing from the female to male characters.

Sexy quick listen

This was a sorter audiobook with elements of romance and ménage situations..when two friends meet the heroine they are drawn to her immediately. The first to meet her, however, is blatantly insulting to her. When his friend and business partner finds out it aggravates him, but they find out she’s the new office manager hired for their office. They pursue a relationship, but because of the first meeting with Matt, she kind of blocks them out. She wants a baby, but when the two guys find out how she intends to get one the cards all go on the table. Entertaining story, good narration. Nice afternoon listen!
