More Than He Bargained For #9
The Tycoon's Temporary Twins
Jed Shields needed a baby for the short term. He didn’t expect two!
Sophia Simms hasn’t got time for love. When she meets a gorgeous, charismatic stranger at a friend’s engagement party, however, she finds herself letting her guard down for the first time in a long, long while. As two independent spirits seeking to escape a room full of gooey couples, the pair find solace in each other’s arms, if only for one night.
Weeks later, when she finds out that she’s pregnant, workaholic Sophie realizes her life is about to change forever. But how will the gorgeous stranger take the news?
Jed Shields is a self-made billionaire with political aspirations; a wannabe mayor who lives by the mantra that nothing lasts forever. When he discovers that he’s going to be a father, he couldn’t be happier: a baby will bolster his appeal to voters all over the city, making him a shoo-in for the mayoralty!
Sophia is horrified that Jed thinks of the baby only as a short-term convenience, and sets out to prove him otherwise. But as they grow closer—and Sophia finds out that she’s expecting twins—can she trust that Jed is falling for the idea of starting a family, or is he thinking only of the votes?
Will Sophia succeed in showing Jed the true meaning of family?

The Tycoon's Temporary Twins - A Multiple Baby Sweet Romance By: Holly RaynerPlayboy Advertising Exec Meets His Match...
This isn't your typical boy meets girl & wham bamm... & it's a done deal with an HEA Romance. Nope, in this book our girl has to work HARD to get the playboy to do more than play lipservice commitment for political gain. She's determined to make him into a REAL father & family man, & that's how their relationship grows... This book isn't filled with tons of Se*ual situations either; in fact, there's only two... one at the beginning & one at the end, so no actual HEAT between the SHEETS just hints.
I was gifted an ARC of "The Tycoon's Temporary Twins - A Multiple Baby Sweet Romance," & I'm gladly recommending this book to others. I'll be looking for more of Holly Rayner's work. All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given.
Until next time... Happy Reading!

A very sweet and well-paced read, I completely enjoyed Sophia and Jed's story. Both of them lead full lives, although I would agree that Jed focuses far too much on work. After friends conspire to match-make the pair, they actually do hit it off and indulge in some clear chemistry. There is a detail neither planned for, but one that is so adorable. It's wonderful seeing Sophia and Jed get on the same page. A great read I highly recommend. This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.

A well written story with nice storyline and plot. Characters well described and likeable. Chemistry is amazing and the passion hot between them.
A one night stand get to be more than that. Two workaholics that have no time for relationships has a great night together. She gets pregnant and wants to keep the baby, he would rather not. Can she change his mind?
A story with passion, emotions, surprises, lust, love and twists.
Absolutely one of Holly Rayners best.

Jed plans to run for mayor and needs a "fake" family. Sophia never had time for marriage and kids. A one night stand changes everything. Will Sophia be able to help Jed see he can be a family man? Will Jed finally let his walls down?
Have to admit that I didn't like Jed much throughout this story, until I understood that he was really just scared. I loved Sophia's determination, even if I think that I would have given up after a certain point. Good read!

This was a quick read that has potential but the characters fall short. Jed and Sophia meet at a party and sleep together then surprise she is pregnant. Jed acted like he had no feelings for Sophia. Her nagging him to own up the being a father was too much. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Great
I don't believe I have read this particular plot before. This story is about a driven, focused young woman who has a one night stand with an equally driven, though womanizing, man who happens to be outstandingly handsome. She finds herself pregnant but does she cry and caves running to him? No. Instead she seems to include him in her baby's life whether he wants to or not.

A One-Night-Stand To Remember
I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book, The Tycoon's Temporary Twins by Holly Rayner.
Really terrific book. I think it is Holly's best one yet. Her books seem to get better with each one she writes and they were pretty good to begin with.
Sophia and Jed, both workaholic, career minded individuals, meet at a party and end up spending the night together. Fate decides to play a trick on them and despite the fact that they use birth control, Sophia gets pregnant. Even though it is a huge shock for Sophia, she decides she wants her baby and even gets excited about it. Jed's reaction is quite different. He is shocked, angry, indifferent, cold, accusatory and a first class *ssh*le. For her baby's sake, Sophia decides to try and change Jed's mind about being a father. She challenges him to spend real time with her, to give her a chance to show him that being a father can be a wonderful, joyous experience. Is there any hope of that happening? Is Jed a cold, bitter, lost cause? Will Sophia end up raising her child alone?

A book about jed who is a successful business man and Sophia is a successful business woman.
All sophia's friends are either a couple, married or have children or both.
One night she is at a party with her friends and they are about to set her up with the single guy at the party but when she heads to the roof to get some air he is there.
They start talking and head back to her place and have sex.
Sophia finds out she is pregnant and tells jed but he isnt very supportive and she tries to convince him for months to be interested in his own child and her pregnancy.
A wonderful book about learning when it is time to grow up and accept responsibility for your actions and man up and be a man and be there for your woman when she tells you she is pregnant.
I know i wouldnt of been so persistent with him.
Its about falling in love and dealing with your past and how it affects your future and having children yourself.

HOT AND SIZZLING!!!
If you're looking for a hot, steamy, steady paced, nerve racking, unexpected surprises with a twist read, congratulations my friends you've found it. This wonderfully written, easy to follow, realistic characters and scenes read, will draw you in and hold you captive. I couldn't put it down. Its an all comsuming tale with a full range of emotions that captivates and holds your attention until the very last word. I followed the characters and was fascinated watching their personalities transform and blend together beautifully. Hollys imagination knows no bounds it seems. With Holly's talents and keen insight with an eye to detail its no wonder she's an excellent author. Remarkable read Holly. Thanks for sharing.

Sophia is a successful architect with a great career who is very well respected in New York. Jed is a very successful billionaire advertising consultant with a thriving business and no time for love. When these two meet at a friends party, they have a few too many drinks and go home together. It's a one night stand and when Jed leaves, it's bittersweet. When Sophia finds out she is pregnant what will Jed do? Will he make time in his busy career to be a father? Will Sophia keep the baby or babies? This is a very quick read that was enjoyable.

She layed down the LAAAW. I don't know if it's because her name is Sophia, same as mine, or because I felt similarities in the way we approach life, but this was a book I felt was worth reading.
Jed was a piece of work though, wasn't he?
There came a point where I did roll my eyes, because it felt like things were happening too suddenly, too fast... Love declarations, complete 180º change of mind-set. But overall, I did like it.

Sophia and Jed, both workaholics met at a friends party and connected for a one night, no strings attached. But things change when those no strings turn into twins. He's running for political office and she's still a workaholic. An emotional roller coaster with lots of twists. No spoiler here, but this book will keep your interest. I read a reader copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.

Disappointed with this one. There was too much nagging on Sophia's part and Jed was just a jerk. There was no relationship building between them nor was there really any chemistry. I loved Sophia's niece and nephew. Those two were hilarious! This story-line had so much potential and just fell flat. That's not usual for Holly Rayner at all. I wouldn't have wasted my time with Jed - that's how bad of a jerk he was!

A touching story. Got a little frustrated with Sophia who should have been either more forceful or more understanding with Jed, He was annoying as he couldn't seem to make up his mind if he wanted to be involved with Sophia or not. Still there were some light hearted moments with Sophia's niece and nephew. An enjoyable read overall. Read an ARC for an honest review.

Sophie has become pregnant through a ONS with a tycoon and must spring the news on him. Of course, Jed isn't very understanding and the rest of the story deals with how each of them and together come to terms with the fact that they are going to be parents- despite knowing nothing about each other.

Another little fluff read from Holly Rayner. Since Ms Rayner writes so many of these rich guy/multiple babies books, they seem pretty formulaic. Once you get past that, the book becomes a really cute read. (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and found it pretty good.) ❤️
