| Wyatt Fletcher has decided he wants to become a father. There is one slight problem: he is not married or looking to hook up with a woman permanently. Wyatt is working with a surrogacy center but so far has not found the right woman. His family is aware of what he is doing, so on a lark, they post a wanted ad in the local bar. Of course, this makes grumpy Wyatt even grumpier. His niece, Everly, even gets involved. She happens to meet Trista, who is leaving the surrogacy center after being rejected. She seems feisty and opinionated, and Everly thinks she would be the right choice for Wyatt. Trista meets Wyatt and offers her services. Of course, the money involved will help her get situated financially but she is intrigued by what she sees in Wyatt. He is grumpy and not very talkative, but he seems like a good man. She agrees to move into the apartment above his barn, where they will try to conceive. The thing is the conception involves syringes and not having sex between them. They get the deed done in a few hilarious scenes involving booze. Trista is pregnant, now they have to wait nine months all the while living near each other—and growing increasingly attracted to each other. Right from the start in NINE MONTH CONTRACT, we see Wyatt and Trista clashing. He wants everything to go the way he wants it, while she wants to remain as independent as possible. Trista was raised basically on her own with her sister with their parents emotionally disconnected. She doesn’t feel she will ever find love because she doesn’t trust the process. This is why she wanted to at least experience the birth of a child. She loves animals and even has a pet pig. As she works at an animal rescue, she is constantly bringing home to Wyatt’s ranch an assortment of animals. He already has a goat, so the more the merrier, right? Wyatt might be grumpy, but he still has a “sweet” side, such as when he drops off a breakfast treat for her every morning on her doorstep. Readers will smile at the interactions between Wyatt and Trista. While they don’t come right out and say they’re attracted to each other, it’s clear in their actions and thoughts. Trista isn’t used to someone taking care of her, while Wyatt isn’t used to being around a pregnant woman. They spend about half of NINE MONTH CONTRACT dancing around their lust for each other and finally reach a compromise. Readers will have to dig into this tale to find out what they decide. Let’s just say their chemistry is smoking hot and their feelings for each other grow stronger every day. Trista’s contract says she will hand over the baby to Wyatt after it’s born. Is there a chance she will stay longer? NINE MONTH CONTRACT is a flat-out funny and entertaining tale right from the start. Wyatt and Trista have been burned by their past and now it’s time for them to finally find love…together. Don’t miss this fascinating tale. Patti Fischer |
