About this ebook

Some men are troublemakers or dealmakers. The men in my family? We’re baby makers.

For six generations, the women of wine country have had a saying: don’t bang a Hunter man unless you want a bun in your oven.

Yeah, well. I’ve got a saying too: no thanks. The last thing I need is baby makes three. My business is expanding and the only thing I’m interested in getting knocked up is my bottom line.

But then one night Emma Haverford makes me an offer I can’t refuse—she backs away from the land I have my eye on in exchange for a favor…

A big, fat, baby making favor…

*****

When I hear women have gotten pregnant shaking hands with Hunter men, I know I need Dylan Hunter’s…ahem, special skills…way more than I need to expand my vineyard.

I’m ready to give my heart to a child and I’m tired of waiting for my late-to-the-party Prince Charming to make my dreams come true. So I promise Dylan—three months of hot, heavy, baby-making s-e-x and then I’m out of his hair forever.

But what if when it comes time to say good-bye, all I want to do is keep bottling up more memories with this big-hearted man?

This sexy Standalone romance will make you laugh, swoon, and blush baby-makin’ red. Heat level: A risk of getting knocked up during download. Paperback and audio versions are especially dangerous. Handle with care…

The Baby Maker is Lili Valente’s newest romance. It will leave you smiling and sighing with contentment upon turning of the final page. Her ability to create vivid and entertaining stories through her masterful writing are always a pleasure to read, and her characters always charm and captivate me. Emma is a strong and confident woman who knows what she wants. She wants a baby before her biological clock stops ticking. The only problem is she doesn’t have a man in her life to help her accomplish what she wants. So upon overhearing about the ability of the Hunter men, her neighbors, to get the job done with a shake of a hand, Emma decides this is her only option. The only problem is she has been butting heads with Dylan Hunter over land. But her determination is prevailing. Emma confronts Dylan with her plan - a baby in exchange for the land. Despite the powerful connection he feels with Emma, his first impulse is to say no. But the intense attraction they share won’t permit him to reject her offer, especially if his prize will ultimately be the land he’s been after. But from their first night together the connection they share grows quickly leaving them both to wonder how they will ever been able to say goodbye. I fell in love with Emma and Dylan pretty quickly, and once again Ms. Valente included many fantastic support characters which rounded out this story as well. The continuing banter and oh-so-hot and steamy moments shared between Emma and Dylan left me laughing and swooning and in need of a cold shower. Lili Valente continues to outdo herself novel after novel keeping her name at the top of my authors I must read list. Well done Ms. Valente.

4.5 Star Review of The Baby Maker By Lili Valente This book was a great read. I thoroughly enjoy Lili Valente’s writing style and The Baby Maker had great main and secondary characters. This is the story of neighbours Dylan Hunter and Emma Haverford. Emma is desperate to have a baby and decided after a nasty break up that she will take a rather unconventional route to make her dreams come true. After over hearing two women talking about her hunky neighbour and his family reputation as baby makers, Emma decides to take the bull by the horn and offer Dylan the “deal” of a lifetime. Dylan’s first instinct is to say no to his sexy neighbours’ outrageous request. However it is obvious that there is a strong attraction sizzling between Emma and Dylan and despite his determination to control his lust, Dylan agrees to help Emma with her baby making plans. There were many snort worthy, laugh out loud moments whilst reading The Baby Maker; though having said that there were also elements of sadness, romance, kindness and swoon worthy moments. This was a fun, hot and oh so charming read which had me totally invested from the start. I loved Emma and Dylan, separately and especially together. The secondary characters were great and I look forward to reading more about them in future books. I particularly enjoyed how Ms.Valente gave us an epilogue that was a fitting ending to the book and I have no doubt that we will hear more about Dylan and Emma’s life together in future books (well I hope so).

The Baby Maker by Lili Valente is a new stand alone romance told in dual POV between the infamous Baby Maker himself, Dylan Hunter, and the woman that bargain's for his baby making stuff, Emma Haverford. Another wonderful, funny, romantic, endearing story from one of my absolute MUST-READ authors. Emma's clock is ticking. She split from her cheating fiance, quit her successful Silicon Valley job and bought a winery and is now learning to appreciate the slower side of life in the country. Except, the only thing she can't approach slowly is her ticking biological clock. Dylan is angry with his pumpkin patch owning neighbor that he is even entertaining the idea of selling his land to the new girl in town, the aggravating Emma Haverford. He wants that land to start growing vines again for his family's farm and to keep his dad off his back. Nevermind she offered 10K ovr asking, this guy calls Dylan the "grandson he never had". The nerve of the new girl to try and steal the land to expand her winery! Nevermind that she is beautiful and sassy and his neighbor... When Emma propositions Dylan about giving the baby making a try for three months and she'll back of the sale he is conflicted. The story only gets exponentially better from there. The family dynamic of the Hunters and between Emma and her sister. The romance that blossoms between Emma and Dylan. It is sexy and hot and sweet and the characters are wonderfully developed. I am so excited to see what happens in the next standalone story, The Troublemaker! Enjoy!
