“Mercilessly hot—and Jake is the kind of hero that has you biting your knuckle while you read. Gorgeous writing, addictive characters, and a premise that will have you blushing from page one, Well Bred is your next spicy fix!”
—Sierra Simone, USA Today bestselling author of Priest and Salt Kiss
“Chef’s kiss perfection. Sexy, emotional, full of angst and filth. Beautifully written”
—M. O’Keefe bestselling author of Everything I Left Unsaid
She wants a baby.
He’s just the man for the job.
I’d finally given up on having a family of my own.
Until ex-con Jake Brand walks in. He’s six foot five of ink and muscle and the farthest thing from a family man. He’s also leaving in a few weeks.
So, when he offers to help out—in my restaurant and in my bed—I cave in and say yes.
But I’ve got rules, strict ones, to keep everything between us clear:No touchingNo kissingNo emotionAnd the lights stay off. Always.Except, it turns out, dirty talking Jake doesn’t do rules.
He busts through them one by one and every time, he cracks another piece of the shell protecting my heart.
Now as we’re counting down the days until he leaves, I can’t help but wonder just how much of me will be left when he’s gone.

So, so good
The description sounded good and the preview seemed good but that doesnât always turn into a good book. This, however, was a very good story – unusual and just so unexpected. Jake was remarkable, in touch with his innermost feelings but doubtful of their authenticity to believe in his ability to love and live a fulfilling life. He was a kind, generous, decent, passionate, determined, dirty-talking guy who completely charmed me. I just loved him.Kit, however, was way too closed off, reticent and stubborn for me to like her. Both were so damaged by their pasts it was a miracle they allowed the possibility of love to happen. Read this book!

Unique
This book starts off with him being solidly attracted to her, her being attracted but unsure.She just went through a failed IVF round and is solidly disappointed. He offers to step in to serve the purpose of helping her create a family but insists on natural family planning style instead of IVF style.This entire book is adult fun times and them falling hard for each other but they are both scared out of their minds to open up that last door of their barriers until one of the Gym Rat kids comes by and is hurt.That was the key to their last lock. Itâs quite beautiful watching them crumple up their âcontractâ and throw it awayI do wish that there was more of the book with them happy though instead of fighting their feelings but it worked out for the best

A great HEA…
Damaged people working their way to a real life, able to express themselves without fear and to the ability to form a GOOD life.

This steamy romance with mature MCs should have SO MANY stars.
If you read the blurb you should expect a decent number of sex scenes. To be clear, all of them are emotionally fraught and move the plot forward, theyâre not simply there for gratuitous titillation.The early ones are stilted â because the FMC put very strict parameters on the MMCâs oh-so-generous offer to step in as a free sperm donor in lieu of IVF.The building of attraction and then sensual tension between these characters is amazing. And the side issues like aggressive customers and an annoying ex shows the MMCâs âtouch her and dieâ side while heâs a total cinnamon roll with her.The contrasts between her âbreed meâ and his âuse meâ and his background of prison but also being her brotherâs best friend are truly magnificently written.And the dirty talk along with âgood girlâ. Delicious.This book gave me a reading hangover because what could compare? Iâm only sorry I devoured it in a day and a half because I should have lingered with Jake, he deserved more of my time. ð

5 stars!! Even better than Jakeâs Cake
I loved this book! The progression of their relationship was so satisfying and steamy haha. I was looking for an age-gap romance where the woman is the older partner in the relationship and this was perfect. Kit wants a baby and Jake is just the guy to help her with that. She thinks she can manage this without the complications of getting attached but it’s hard not to fall for Jake. He’s protective, makes delicious cake, and has the ability to turn a girlâs brain to mush with just his words. He’s rough around the edges but he has a heart of gold.My only quibble is that the ending felt a little rushed. I wanted more of a pregnancy test moment than we ended up getting but I really loved where things ended up. Highly recommend this one!

Who Doesnât Like J(C)ake?
I just finished this a few minutes ago. I wanted to come on here to say ~sigh~ I could use a Jake Brand in my life. The characters were well developed, considering the length of the book and the timeline for the romance. I thought the age gap was handled exceptionally well. While, the ending wasnât my favorite, because of the slight time jump, I still think the author wrapped it up pretty nicely. And there is a bonus, three chapters for what happens after the end if you subscribe to the newsletter. This is modern breeding romance done phenomenally.I would all in all highly recommend.PS his mouth is filthy in the best sort of way!

heart warming story
Really love these characters. I like a fiesta woman who knows what she wants but itâs always good to see her lean on a good hearted man. Great book!!
by hmaron
Super annoying woman but great story in theory
Good story and plot and loved Jake but Kit was obnoxious- and spoilers – but org*** during the act is important for contraception and this author clearly didnât do her research and she delivered that fact later and youâd think a woman who wants to get pregnant would know this. But the steamy scenes were exceptional and will read author again – would have liked to have a wrapped up revenge aspect for ex

âYou want a baby?â âMore than anything,â I admit, though I donât exactly know why Iâm dumping this on the guy. âIâll do it.âJake is the man for the job. ð¥µThis book was everything I needed it to be. Fast paced. Angsty. Super hot. And low stakes which I needed right now.The ending felt a little rushed but otherwise. Chef kiss. ð 4.25âï¸

4âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸BreedingSmall age gap h is 40 heâs 32 I thinkThis book was good. Took me a while to like the h I hated the rules she put in place when it came to baby making.Jake comes to kits restaurant when sheâs desperate for a chef so Jake helps out heâs only back in town for 6 weeks before he goes back out to the rig to weld dive.Kits last bout of ivf failed and she canât afford another go when Jake finds out he offers to do it for her. Kit writes a contract of stuff he canât do while having sexNo touchingNo kissingNo dirty talkNo staying once sex is over etc etcJakeâs mission is to break down every rule sheâs put in place only there both not ready to fall for each other.Kits rules pinged me right off at first until Jake broke through each and every one of them.His dirty talk was on ð¥Lots of sexy timeLots of breedingI enjoyed it
