New York Times bestselling author Amy Daws kicks off the Mountain Men Matchmaker series with a laugh-out-loud, spicy small town romance about a grumpy mountain man, a surrogate who shows up in cowboy boots, and a family that never learned the meaning of boundaries. Duet narrated by fan-favorites Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon. Perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Tessa Bailey, and Elsie Silver.

“A hilariously fresh and spicy rom-com that I couldn’t put down!” -Meghan Quinn, New York Times Bestselling Author

Help Wanted: Grumpy mountain man seeks baby momma. Job is an incubator position only. Surrogate must be impervious to grunting as the form of communication and nosy brotherly neighbors. Rustic mountain range housing available upon request.

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 in 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.

Perfect for fans of:
  • Grumpy/Sunshine
  • Surrogacy Romance
  • Small Town Romance
  • Forced Proximity
  • Meddling Families + interconnected stories

Fantastically narrated! Duet narration is the best and this is another gem from Amy! Loved to see/hear about some of my faves from previous books! The banter was great, the spice was steamy, the animals were adorable.
Last on the list is still my fave but dang this was a great read!

This was unique to what I usually read, so in that way, it was enjoyable. I enjoyed the characters and animals. Some of the story was a little weird for me, and it felt like it dragged a little in the middle. I listened to this on audible, and Teddy Hamilton was amazing, as always. Erin Mallon is new to me and wasn't bad.

this was a unique story for me.

Nine Month Contract had me laughing out loud, giggling, and chuckling. It kept me entertained and engaged. It invoked the emotional roller coaster of feelings when things got deep and personal between Wyatt and Trista. Their pain from the past brought pain to my heart. But mostly it brought a smile to my face.

Nine Month Contract by Amy Daws should appeal to those who love a lot of comedy woven into their romance. This MC is a whole lot of GRUMPY with sprinkles of MOUNTAIN SUNSHINE who does best when allowed to spread his love language: Acts of Service without having a defiant, stubborn recipient, who has her 6-inch heels dug firmly into Fletcher Mountain, balking his every move. His struggle is real, and the more he tries to deny feelings for his new neighbor/surrogate baby mama, the grumpier he gets.

I would identify this book as a bit of a slow-burn, but that just intensified the sexual tension with every chapter. It’s like we knew they’d finally succumb to their primal needs, but just how long was author Amy Daws going to put us through that wringer? If I didn’t have gel nails, which are impossible to chew, those puppies would be gone! There were so many scenes where the heat was rising, the juices were flowing, but something stomped out the embers and turned off the faucet.

🎧AUDIOBOOK REVIEW🎧
When Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon work together on an audiobook, it is always a listening treat. Nine Month Contract is one of my favorite narrations from them as a team. My experience with this story was heightened through the audiobook. I listened along as I read, or I read as I listened along. Whichever way you want to put it, the narration of the characters was superb. Yes, I knew Wyatt was a grumpy mountain man, but Teddy Hamilton brought out the grumpy. He portrayed the character with the right tone in every sentence. When Wyatt was frustrated, you heard it. When Wyatt was emotional, you heard it. Some of these scenes may not have been comfortable to read (I'd love to hear the out-takes, LOL), but the narration flowed seamlessly with not a guffaw or glitch in the voice to be heard.

Erin Mallon was equally as good. She brought out all the emotions from the characters. She portrayed all the females with a different tone or speaking quality making it easy to identify the speaking characters in each scene, even when there were multiple females chatting. The duet narration style is my favorite. No listening to a man try to lower his voice to be the woman. The quality of the narration when going back and forth was seamless. Any breaks in the dictation were subtle and did not diminish the listening experience.

Good story, a bit different than other romance book. Nice touch with the title of the chapters. A bit of tears, some laugh and a few sexy scene. Happy with this one.

Funny and spicy

I ended up really liking this audiobook. It was refreshing to have a main character that wasn't a typical beautiful, petite, perfect woman. Trista is an everyday woman. Not a perfect size, worried about stretch marks, cellulite and wobbly bits like a realistic woman. Except she advocated for loving yourself.

The audiobook held my interest with a good story that was a nice mix of humor, passion and love all around.

Great story
