Title: Dear Baby Daddy
Author: Alexis Adaire
Genre: Romance
Rating: *****
Review: This is the sixth installment in the Matchmakers series I have read and this one is different from the others. It follows Scarlett and Mason, Scarlett writes to Grace seeking not a long-term relationship but a sperm donor. All she wants in a man willing to have a no strings attached relationship until she is pregnant then he can do as he pleases. On the other hand, Mason is looking for the complete opposite, so I have no idea how this pair are going to get along.
Dear Baby Daddy is 65 pages of will they, won’t they? We learn very early on that Mason and Scarlett want very different things, Scarlett wants a baby conceived naturally without the relationship with the man and for the man to have nothing to do with the child while Mason is looking for marriage, children and to settle down in general. At first, Mason rejects Scarlett’s offer to be her baby daddy and the pair become friends. However, Mason can’t get Scarlett of his mind and Mason is everything she is looking for in her baby daddy, so they try and almost pressure the other into changing their minds. When it clear they are both as stubborn as each other and that they aren’t going to change things aren’t looking good, especially when Scarlett bolts after Mason tells her that he is in love with her.
Not long after this Scarlett realises that it isn’t, she is distrustful of men but rather she was just horribly unlucky when she picked her men. At this moment she realises that she didn’t pick Mason, Grace did and with her track record, she trusts Grace’s judgement. Racing to fix her mistake before it is too late Scarlett takes a leap of faith and not only asks for a relationship with Mason but to marry him.
In the end, I really enjoyed this entry as it is quite different from the other five entries I have read. I really enjoyed the return of the letters, but I loved the communications between Mason, Scarlett and Grace and how they even invite Grace to their wedding as a way of saying thank you for her assistance. Personally, I’d love to know more about Grace and what drove her to set up the agency in the first place and I am aiming to read this entire series as soon as I can.
