About this ebook

The women of The Homegrown Café Book Club are over 40, single, and loving it. Fate, however, has a different plan with a younger man for every last one of them.

Divorcée Tate Madison (42) wasted fifteen years of her life with a liar and a cheat. Now she’s returned to her hometown to open The Homegrown Café, address her ticking biological clock, and spend time with her family and new friends. Encouraged by her fellow middle-aged book-club buddies, she begs a favor from her younger brother’s best friend—father the child her ex-husband denied her. Complications abound when she discovers she’s attracted to the man who wasn’t supposed to be more than an anonymous profile at a clinic.

Pig farmer Jim Cochon (35) knows all about in vitro fertilization, but he’d rather do things the old-fashioned way with the irresistible redhead he’s wanted to marry since he was five. Too bad she refuses his proposal the morning after their attempt to make a baby. He’ll have to convince her second chances are worth taking when happily-ever-after is at stake.

Makin' Bacon and all the other books in this series are small-town reverse age gap romances with happy endings by USA Today Bestselling Author Mellanie Szereto!

I absolutely adored this book until about three-quarters of the way through. Then Tate does some things that made me really dislike her a lot. Jim is so utterly swoon-worthy and has been hopelessly devoted to her since about the time he could walk, I was ready to start making voodoo dolls of Tate on his behalf. The ending is super cute, but for me it doesn’t quite make up for all the pain and suffering Tate caused. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.

Tate has wanted a baby for years, something her cheating ex denied her and upon meeting Big Jim, the pig farmer and her younger brother's best friend she decides that he's the perfect candidate for a sperm donation. He agrees, but would rather be hands on with the process and quickly gets in over his head with talk of love and marriage. The book was raunchy at times, but also funny. For such a big guy Jim was sweet and he didn't understand why Tate reacted the way she did to his proposal. It was kind of crazy and the relationship develops extremely quickly.

This was a great start to a series that appears to be shaping into an entertaining series. The character work and story line were well done and kept my attention. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
