Book Review: Nine Month Contract - Amy Daws

"I wanted to pummel my irritating brothers when they posted their own version of a wanted ad to help me with my life.

But I can’t fault the results once the right woman lands on my lap. Becoming a single father is not a decision I made lightly. In fact, it’s the biggest decision of my entire life. Which is why when I interview Trista, I know she’s perfect. She’s wild, she’s opinionated, she wears cowboy boots. Even my pet goat loves her… She’s the exact type of person I was holding out for. And to my great horror, I realize on our first night of attempting this baby making dance…when the lights are low, the cheap wine is flowing, and the home insemination supplies are laid out on the kitchen counter… I want to do a lot more than just make her my surrogate. I want to make her mine."

Notes - i should probably start off by saying that pregnancy is a special interest for my autism, so this book was CALLING for me. I NEEDED it, and i kept putting off reading it because i had so many books to read before this one. The writing style is very modern and can even come off a bit stiff at times, but im not mad about it. It corrects itself as the book futhers along, so the stiffness really comes off as New-Book-Troubles where starting off can be overwhelming with so many new characters. The way they proceeded about it was the stiff part but after introductions, its super smooth. They use the word Rizz more than once and i dont know how i feel about that. i think once the two finally move in and get in the process of planning and proceeding with the pregnancy, the book really starts to fill out. It wasn’t what i expected. i love the different twists and turns of the book, and the way it sets up the pregnancy. i think the romance building between the two is so sweet and i literally couldn't get enough of it, i was smiling so hard. i’ve never seen a possessive relationship written in a way that wasn’t completely toxic, and its clear to see that Wyatt has his own trauma in regards to women. I think its very well written, and gets the point across clearly for me personally. its very realistic without crossing boundaries. i think watching the both characters grow and move past their trauma’s is really important, and watching them both stop becoming controlling people its extremely interesting to watch take place.
