Previously published as The Baby Arrangement
The arrangement was simple, with only two rules:
Rule #1: Don't fall in love
Rule #2: Refer back to rule one when necessary
I thought I could stick to the rules, but with a girl like Fallon, I should've known those rules were meant to be broken. We've been best friends since we were kids, and she's the only woman I'd

I was really looking forward reading this book because the blurb intrigued me, but unfortunately I was a bit disappointed.
The Baby Arrangement is a steamy friends to lovers romance, with a twist. Fallon and Reed have always been best friends, but they’ve also been in love with each other for ages. The problem is that they’re both scared to confess their feelings. But now Reed needs to have a child if he wants to inherit his father’s company, and Fallon seems the perfect candidate to be ...more

I didn't love this one as much as I wanted to. Thank you to the authors for providing me a copy in exchange for a honest review. I'm giving this 2 out of 5 stars.
One of the problems for me was that I didn't fully connect with any of the characters. They felt a little one-dimensional, if that makes any sense. I wanted more focus on their lives outside of this arrangement (and each other). Things like what their hobbies were, more on the other relationships in their lives, etc. If I would have see ...more

The arrangement is simple, with only two rules:
One: Don’t fall in love
Two: Revert back to rule one when necessary
Fallon’s been my best friend my entire life. No matter how much I’m attracted to her though, I know she deserves better than a man who refuses to commit. I saw what happened to my dad when he lost my mom and there’s no way I’m putting myself in that position.
At least, not until my father gives me an ultimatum:

Thanks to the previous book I had high expectations with this reading and I was disappointed.
Both Reed and Fallon were immature protagonists, children, lacking personality. Their fears and insecurities had no credible basis, which made the reading slow and boring.

This is a friends to lovers story with a little twist. they must make a baby together without falling in love. the only problem with that is that they are already in love with each other. Both Fallon and Reed try to keep their feelings secret. the only people not aware are the two main characters. I am not sure why they held off for so long. The back and forth seemed forced. One minute they are all over each other and the next minute the whole thing is a mistake. Fallon a ...more

This book was truly amazing. J.L. Beck sure knows how to write a romance!!! The Baby Arrangement had me lost in its pages from the very start. It’s been a long time that I felt a book hit all the high notes for me and this one surely surprised me by doing just that.

Time waits for no one. We can either make every second count or allow it to pass by. The Baby Arrangement is a reminder that for every happy ending, there will most certainly be a thread of pain. Fallon and Reed are so smart, they make a mess out of the desires of their hearts. One ultimatum and baby agreement, tests the bonds of friendship as it opens their eyes to love. Full of heart and hope. Forever is only a heartbreak away. Irresistible reading.
Two best friends that love each other but won't admit it. What happens when an ultimatum forces them to face hidden feelings will these two finally admit there feelings or are they doomed to the friend zone? What happens if they cross the line, will they lose their friendship as well?

This was such a wonderful book about best friends that don't seem to be able to admit to themselves how much they love one another beyond just being best friends. And I' m not going to lie...Fallon and Reed kind of gave me a little whiplash with their back and forth feelings.

I give this book 5 stars. The storyline between Reed and Fallon was well written. They are best friends that secretly love one another. Reed needs a baby before he can inherit the family company Fallon offers to give him a baby. You have to read this book to find out what happens. I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
The book was good. This book definitely needs another go through with a skilled proofreader. Also, I don't appreciate the tiny font and book stuffing.

This is a sweet love story between two best friends. They have been best friends for a long time, always being there for each other and knowing each other's secrets. Fallon and Reed are meant for each other, they just don't see it, or maybe they do but can't admit it. Reed's father has decided he's tired of watching them dance around each other so he comes up with a plan. A plan that has to happen quick since he has stage four cancer. He tells Reed that he has to have a baby before he will turn

Fallon and Reed are BFFs since they were kids and have been in love with each other for years but for Reed, he doesn’t think he would ever be good enough for Fallon. Fallon would do anything for Reed, including sit back and watch him date other women. Things change between Reed and Fallon when Reed’s father throws down an ultimatum. If he wants the family company, he needs to provide a grandchild. Reed knows exactly who he wants to be the mother but getting Fallon to agree, that is going to take

Reed and Fallon have been best friends for years. They are such good friends, neither one wants to ruin their friendship by adding romance or even sex to the mix. Reed's father offers him an ultimatum-a grandchild or he'll sell the family business-and Fallon does what any best friend would do. There's a huge amount of push-pull in this one, admission, denial & the angst of making the right/wrong decision. I liked the way Fallon pushed Reed to admit to feeling something, anything, and how both we

Oh what an amazing story. J.L. Beck is such a fantastic writer and the books are always amazing. This one is no different. I loved Fallon and Reed together. Although, Reed could use a little get my head out of my butt at times he has this amazing personality and protectiveness with of course the alpha male syndrome. Fallon is the sweet and loving woman that you just wish you were her. I loved all the characters actually. The brothers have amazing parts in the story and makes you were you can't w
