Raising Georgia
Georgia Hamilton was a girl who knew who she was and refused to apologise for it. Life was good until two pink lines changed everything. Suddenly the one night stand with a cowboy was going to change her life in a way she never could’ve planned for.
Ryder Bennett was at the top of his game but something was missing. Travelling around from rodeo to rodeo had lost its appeal, he decided to put his bull riding days behind him and put down some roots. Wattle Creek seemed like as good a place as any. When he finds out he’s about to be a dad, Ryder’s determination to make Georgia more than just his baby mama becomes his most important ride.
Can these two figure out if their chemistry can turn into forever before the weight of expectations gets in their way?

What a wonderful journey to Wattle Creek it has been! The third installment was the perfect ending to the Sweet Dreams B&B series! Georgia and Ryder are absolutely perfect.
March 10, 2026
Raising Georgia was the perfect conclusion to the Sweet Dreams B&B series. It is such a sweet story and Georgia & Ryder are so cute together! And all of the little ways that Ryder takes care of Georgia thoughout the story are so sweet! 🥰
I absolutely LOVED all three Sweet Dreams B&B books but I'd have to say that Raising Georgia is my favorite book of the series. 🙂🩷
One of my favorite parts was when they had their date in the bed of Ryder's truck and when they went hiking together. I also loved the spicy scene when they were making breakfast together.
Another thing that I loved were the Easter eggs for Rebecca's Magnolia Ranch series that were scattered throughout the book.
There's also a bonus epilogue that's linked in the back of the eBook that takes place a couple of years down the road that is the perfect grand finale for the story.
These are just a few of my favorite quotes/lines from "Raising Georgia"
"I rolled over and hugged the pillow to my chest. Ryder. He was still as sexy as he’d been all those months ago. With the swagger and the southern drawl and the dimples. Oh my god, those dimples. I swear they were ninety percent responsible for me throwing caution to the wind and climbing in the back of his truck." {Chapter 4, Page 26}
"When he reached my car, he bent down and leaned on the window. The second I caught a whiff of his cologne, sandalwood and something else, my already hypersensitive hormones went into overdrive. “Hey there, darlin’,” he greeted, the drawl making me want to grab him by that shiny belt buckle and drag him back inside." {Chapter 18, Page 121}
“You ready?” Ryder asked, tugging his shirt off over his head one-handed in that effortless way that guys did that made smart girls stupid. With his abs on display, I was momentarily stunned. “Georgia?” “What? Yeah? What did you ask?” I replied, sounding ridiculous. I was blaming the very dangerous combination of pregnancy hormones and the sight of his sun-kissed biceps." {Chapter 20, Page 133}
"Ryder was one of the good ones, and somehow, he was mine. Now all I had to do was not f**k it up, and I may just end up with the one thing I never thought was on the cards for me. I might just end up with my very own, bull-riding, boot-wearing, prince charming." {Chapter 28, Page 195}
This was one of my favorite reads of 2026 so far and while I'm sad to see the Sweet Dreams B&B series come to an end, I can't wait to read whatever Rebecca decides to write next!

Ahhhh what can I say, the conclusion to this fabulous trilogy is fantastic.
Let me tell you .... Every girl needs a Ryder in their lives!! He is such an Alpha male, a fixer and so totally gone for Georgia it is almost comical.
So when Georgia sees Ryder after 31/2 months to admit she was surprised, and not in a good way, is an understatement. He was a one night stand that she was not supposed to ever see again.
Trouble with that was, Ryder was Sawyer's old buddy from the Rodeo circuit and he had just asked if he knew of anyone hiring and for a place to stay...And it looked like Ryder had finally found a home after riding on a bulls back for years and Magnolia Ranch was it!
So starts their story!
Seeing Georgia again was everything Ryder didn't know he wanted or needed.
Sassy, sweet and smart, he knew she was not getting away from him a second time.
Second chances he could do and he was determined to find a way back into her life.
Sooooo what does a man have to do....wooo his woman of course.
And let me tell you, Ryder knows how to do first dates!! Was soooooo hot!
Plenty of open door spice to keep things going...oh and of course keep Ryder's motor running!! LOL He was a gonner for Georgia, until he didn't respond in the way he should have when he found out she was his baby mamma!
Loved the drama, and especially loved the humour.....one I still laugh at is at 20 weeks pregnant and with severe abdominal pain at 2am, Georgia rings Ryder, (who rushes over in a T Shirt inside out and back to front and his boxers), bringing with it an outcome even I did not see coming....There are many laugh out loud moments and I enjoyed every morsel. As will you!
And yes, just like Gabriella and Grace, Georgia does get her HEA with Ryder and their beautiful bouncing baby...??.....didn't think I would give that one away did you?
Take a chance and read the Hamilton Girls stories, you will dot be disappointed.

Georgia Hamilton is as tough as they come, there isn't much of anything that can't get her down. Something gets in her way and she just plows through it and moves right along... that is until the sight of two pink lines brings her life to a stand still!
Raising Georgia is a beautiful love story that reminds us that sometimes life doesn't go as planned. That sometimes, even with your best intentions, you still fall momentarily, but it's how you react to the fall that really matters. Georgia is one tough cookie and there is very little in her life that she can't handle, she is the backbone of her family and she is always in control. Well almost always. When she learns that her one night stand is about to change her life in ways she hadn't planned, she panics a little.
How could she let something like this happen? And what is she going to do about it? True to nature she handles the news like she does most everything else, she will find a way to get through it and persevere... even if it scares the crap out of her! Then Ryder wanders back into her life and assures her that she isn't going to do this alone, that he'll be there with her every step of the way... but does she want him to be?
I loved every single word of this one, these two had me in their corner at first meet, they were perfectly matched on every level. Even if it took them a bit to figure it all out. I loved watching them find their way and embrace all the changes coming to their lives, it was a beautiful journey that really touched my heart!! Highly recommend you take a chance on this series, these tough as they come sisters and their charming counterparts have unforgettable stories to tell! I loved every minute I spent with them!

Raising Georgia by Rebecca Barber is book 3 in the Sweet Dreams B&B Series and is an unexpected pregnancy, small town, heartwarming romance that follows the last Hamilton sister, Georgia Hamilton and her bull riding, rodeo fling, Ryder Bennett.
When Ryder decides to hang up his buckle and follow his good friend Swayer to Wattle Creek, the last thing he expected to find was Georgia, the woman he had an unforgettable night with about 3 months ago. Finding her in Wattle Creek was like fate, but finding out she was pregnant was something he wasn’t ready for.
Ryder is the golden retriever hero who can’t do no wrong and Georgia is independent, feisty and tough so trusting Ryder is a challenge.
I enjoyed their story of getting to know each other through the pregnancy and how their relationship developed. It was also great to see the Magnolia Ranch crew again, as well as the favourites from this series.
This was a quick and easy read that will give you warm fuzzies. I’m not usually a fan of the unexpected pregnancy trope but this book was my favourite in the series and Ryder has now been added to my book boyfriend list 😍

Love, love, love this one!!!!
Georgia is a no crap taking, loving hard ass. She is the backbone and defender of the sisters. But when fate puts her in a predicament, her resolve begins to crumble and she shows the most vulnerable side to her that anyone has ever seen.
Ryder is stuck in life. Not knowing where he belongs now that he is out of the rodeo circuit. He is also stunted romantically since his one night stand. He cannot get the nameless woman out of his head. But fate has plans and he may find what he is looking for after all.
This book has so much emotion, heart and soul. It is full of laugh out loud moments and is highly entertaining. I thoroughly enjoy the characters of Wattle Creek. They are fun and loyal to one another. When one is in need the whole town comes together. Always having one another's back. Small town romance full of heart. These books are feel good moments that will give you the warm and fuzzies.
I loved this series and this book. I highly recommend to anyone who loves small town romance with alpha males to save the day.

I loved Ryder and Georgia's story and think it's the best book of the series. Ryder and Georgia had a one-night stand after one of Ryder's rodeos that Georgia attended. No surnames or numbers exchanged. Georgia is in town one night for dinner and bumps into Ryan, who's out with friends. She can't believe it's him, and the chemistry is still there between them. Georgia finds out fourteen weeks later, after their one-night stand. When she's still not feeling well after a cold, she is stunned when the doctor tells her she's pregnant. What does she do now? She's pregnant and not sure if she wants Ryder or how she can be a single mom. Rebecca keeps you turning the pages with increasing love between the two.
I recieved an arc for my voluntary honest review for NN Book Blog. If you love a sweet second-chance small town rom-com, then you will love this book. Although this is Book Three in the Sweet Dreams B&B, it is possible to be read as a stand-alone, but why would you? You need to read the previous books to learn about Georgia's sisters' stories.

This is the third book and the conclusion to this amazing series, and this is Georgia and Ryder’s story.
Ryder and Georgia have a one-night stand with no surnames or numbers exchanged, after one of his rodeo’s. Ryder has reached the point in his life where he feels it is time to retire and set down roots, which he does in Wattle Creek. Georgia knows what she wants in life, but everything changes due to 2 pink lines. When Georgia is in town for dinner one night, she crosses paths with Ryder who is out for dinner with friends, and the sparks fly.
This is a well written easy to read story, with friendships, determination, humour, witty banter, combustible chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, sweet, and heartwarming small-town romance.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Raising Georgia - Rebecca Barber
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Raising Georgia” really touched my heart in a lovely, unexpected way. From the beginning, I felt connected to the characters and genuinely cared about what happened to them. The story explores how life can suddenly change direction, and how love and responsibility grow from those moments, and it felt very real to me.
I especially enjoyed watching the relationships slowly develop and seeing the characters learn to trust themselves and each other. There are emotional parts, but they are balanced with warmth and hope, which kept me turning the pages. By the end, I felt like I had been on the journey with them.
If you like stories about family, second chances, and finding love when you least expect it, this book is a heartfelt and satisfying read

Georgia is one of the sisters running their B&B. Usually not her style but she had a one night stand 14 weeks ago and is now left with a surprise.
Ryder has left his bull riding days behind and is staying with his friend in Wattle Creek. What a surprise to see the one that got away.
Georgia and Ryder had sizzling chemistry but could it turn into more, she needed him but not as an obligation.
I think this third story has been my favourite, I loved these two work things out both in and out of clothing.
The little bonus at the end was icing on the cake.
What a great read for the start of this year.

Raising Georgia is book three of the Sweet Dreams B&B Series.
Ryder and Georgia were super cute together, even though Georgia did try to keep Ryder at arms length. They met a few months before and now they are reunited. Ryder is completely interested in reconnecting but Georgia is really hesitant. Then a big surprise happens for both of them and I loved seeing Ryder step up and try to be what Georgia needed during her time of need. He was such a great character.

A great conclusion to this series! Georgia and Ryder had an unforgettable night together and that's all it was supposed to be. Fate had others plans when Ryder shows up in Wattle Creek after retiring from the rodeo. Georgia wants nothing to do with him. Ryder, however, has other plans. I liked the pace of the relationship slowly developing. Georgia was a tough nut to crack. I really enjoyed reading their journey to happiness! Loved the bonus content.

Ryder was a star, reacting just right for every event. Beautiful and romantic, the last sister standing gets her happy ending with an extra surprise bonus. I've so enjoyed this series, sometimes slightly less drama and angst is just what I need as a reader and these had the absolute best balance. Wonderful story

Being the backbone of the B&B, Georgia doesn’t know the word Rest. By chance First Ryder back is back in her orbit and then she gets the surprise of a lifetime which throws her for the loop.
But life has a way for righting itself.
Beautiful romance and a happy ending with a fantastic bonus.

Book 3 of the sisters' series. This one is Georgia and Ryder's story. Full of emotions, drama, chemistry, interactions, life happenings, making choices, taking chances, and family. Loved the bonus epilogue. Awesome series - one for each sisters and highly recommend.

I love how two series can connect, Ryder who comes to work at Magnolia Ranch and Georgia who runs the B&B. When fate brings them back together after a one night stand, can they fight their feelings or will things get complicated?

I love Georgia's snark and sass, and Ryder's gentlemanly ways and charm. Their story is fantastic. The trilogy is definitely worth reading.
