The problem is that Reed is completely overwhelmed with all of his responsibilities. Tyler is away a lot for the business, he’s convinced his daughter hates him, and he just wants a few hours of uninterrupted sleep.

This is a gay shifter mpreg romance novella that follows Coffee and Honeybuns.

REVIEW:

I was eager to get to this novella after reading Coffee and Honeybuns. I can tell you…It was worth the wait and I was not disappointed!

We first met the two Bear shifters Tyler, a strong Alpha Grizzly and his sweet mate Reed, as cuddly little Omega Black Bear in the Valleywood series. Now they and their precious and precocious one year-old daughter Candace have settled into their lives back in the woods of Colorado. Tyler is still in charge of training for the family-owned coffee chain Rocky Mountain Java. Tyler’s brother Justin is CEO and he hired Reed to be his right-hand man/assistant/scheduler. Now Tyler and Reed find out that baby number two is on the way. Things are rough and something has to change or else.

I loved how much more spunkier and speaking up Reed is. He has grown and matured. He has a husband and his daughter and now baby number two right on her heels so he isn’t being pushed around so easily, especially by his brother-in-law and boss. Been there, done that, not happening again.

And who wouldn’t want Tyler for a mate? He’s gorgeous, loving, tender, thoughtful, and the perfect husband. That is if he can ever get his brother mated up so he will settle down and have a life outside the company so he can concentrate on his own perfect family.

I loved that the author decided to do a new series with the original book as the launching point. I have become invested in this family and can’t wait for more to come. This was a wonderful novella to guide us to the new series. I do recommend that you read the Valleywood book “Coffee and Honeybuns” first.
