Publisher's summary

My best friend's kid sister wants me to get her pregnant - the old fashioned way.

I've looked out for Ariel since she was in pigtails. I took her trick or treating, told off the jerk who dumped her, picked her up from prom.

When she needs my help, I'm there. Only she doesn't need a ride, a study partner, a new tattoo.

Ariel wants me to get her pregnant. The old fashioned way.

Three months of trying. Then we go back to our lives.

It's a terrible idea. I should say no. I should convince her to wait for Mr. Right.

But the geeky grad student is sure it's now or never.

And I'm sure as hell not going to let her find someone else.

The Baby Bargain is a stand-alone romance with a brooding alpha hero and a feisty math geek heroine.

Ugh what a snooze Fest

Man I couldn't even make it past chapter 20. Both authors horrible monotone combined with the slow pace and the annoying nearly non-stop internal monologue drove me crazy. It got to the point were I wouldn't catch everything they were talking about or would lose track of what was being said and didn't care. It was also hard to care about the characters. I kind of felt for her given her medical prognosis and short time frame to get pregnant, but other then that I couldn't pen point anything about her characters personality that would make me like her. Then he was all boohoo over some ex from 2yrs ago...2 F**ing years...I was like just screw around like normal men and get over it. Then this "secret" lust for his best friend 's sister who he knew a very long time and even referred to as a sister and yet when they talk all he wants to do is F**k her but still let him think on her proposal...plz. One word...Predictable...obviously he was going to say yes. I just can't even finish it. Then it's like 62 chapters or something like that...for what. I'm scared to hear how much inernal monologue was required to drag this basic story out that long. It's been hard finding a great book lately, but I know there are several in my wish list, cheaper in fact, that will be better then this. I might even do a return. I'm so disappointed.

Great story line and awesome narration!

I loved this book, the narrator was awesome! I will be getting the other books in the series. I like to see beyond the end of one good book.

Such an amazing narration and story!!!

Honestly just absolutely wonderful!!! What an amazing story and the narration was perfection! This duo put together a masterpiece! Wen and Kai made me fall in love with this book so much. This is my first book by the author and I cannot wait for the next! Chase and Ariel were amazing characters and the story line just drew me in and loved every moment of it!!

Omg! Stop!

1st I LOVE the narrator's, but they could not help this book.
This story droned on and repeated itself for 60 some pages. I could not finish it. The idea was good but there is to much over explaining.

Love Love Love this book

I loved how true to life all the characters were with what they verbally and to themselves. And how they worked out their issues. I loved seeing how Chase and Ariel realized and accepted the love they had for each other and their families. An amazing audiobook. It kept me listening way into the night. And listening to the same chapters the next day to get nuances I missed the first time.

3.5 Stars

A cute story, your typical Brother's Best Friend helps the sister when she wants to become pregnant for medical reasons. I loved the interactions between Chase and Ariel. The only downfall for me was that this was obviously a stand-alone within a series of other books and there was a fairly heavy focus on the other couples. Because I haven't read the other books, I often got confused by what was going on with the other couples.

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

A tender mixed up guy

Chase is one of the best of the Ink guys... Ariel was a nice match. The story was good, and once again Crystal Kaswell did not shy away from a difficult topic. Job well done.

Fantastic

Love the writers style as well as the performance style. Look forward to,reading more.

really so good I couldn't leave it for long.

I loved this book the way it deals with a version of male depression and ladies breast cancer ,having had the hysterectomy myself it's an awful thing to go through and knowing that this book showed how you feel everything must be sped up but showing that's not always a bad thing was so inspiring. loved it and love crystal kaswell. x

Loved this so much

I have just finished listening to this one and it was amazing. Having read it before I knew the story but hearing the characters come alive was just such a different experience.
Having the two voices for the characters gave more depth to the story and kept you engaged. Having listened to other audiobooks before this one was a really change from one voice.
I’d recommend giving this one a go. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing!!

I enjoyed this book when I first read it, and now after listening to the audiobook, I love it even more. I am still fairly new to audiobooks, but these narrators are excellent, they really bring the characters to life. I look forward to to listening to more of Crystal’s book in the very near future.

Thought the written book was great, this was amazing!

I loved this book when I read it, but oh my goodness listening to it is even better! I love how naturally the relationship between Ariel and Chase develops and how we get to hear dual pov’s.
Wenn Ross has the most wonderful voice that just listening to it had my lady parts perking up! When he growls and laughs, o.m.g! 🤤 So heads up ladies, don’t listen in public and have fresh panties to hand! 😉

Loved it!!

This isn't my first Crystal Kaswell book. I've read all the others in this series (which are all awesome) and this one is now my fave!
The story was a slow burn, and it had so much depth, with it's down to earth characters and really sweet moments (not forgetting some steamy scenes).
The audiobook, with the voices switching between the two leads was a great experience, it made me feel like I was sat with the characters listening to their conversations. Really brilliant.
Looking forward to the next in the series.

Best of her books so far

This is my favourite of Crystal Kaswell's books.

The story is gripping. Entertaining and heart breaking. Love, lust, desire, tattoo's and alpha males.

Chase is a super hot broody alpha male and Ariel this sweet thing he "trie" to help.

It's a forbidden romance - brothers best friend and its hot as hell.

I didn't think it could get better till I heard the audiobook. Its a must purchase in my opinion!

Definitely listen in private 😘

Still my favourite book of the series by a mile ♥️♥️♥️

Great book

Had already read this book but to hear it was amazing. The narrators really bought the characters to life and you got all the emotions they were feeling from it.
