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!

Tate is past a bad fifteen marriage and she wants to start the rest of her life with a child of her own. Talking her brothers best friend into helping in a dream come true for Jim as he has had feelings for her for a long time. The banter and situations they get into will make you smile and even laugh at times. The characters are heartwarming and have great backstories. Loved the romantic development between them and the strength they have to keep it going. Well done. Can not wait to read more by this author. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Tate's Request . . . Tate Madison is divorced from her lying, cheating ex-husband. She has returned home to open The Homegrown Café where she can socialize with her friends and family. She also wants to have a child and, with encouragement, asks her younger brother’s best friend to father her child. Jim Cochon has loved Tate for years, and he gladly will help her with her request, as long as it’s done the old-fashioned way. It gets kind of awkward when Tate feels attraction toward Jim. But she refuses his proposal to make them a real couple, a real family. Will she continue to be hard-headed about this? Or will he be able to convince her that he loves her and wants to be in her life? When you have a guy as wonderful as Jim who is loving, caring, and devoted to Tate, and you see Tate treat him as she did, it’s a dangerous combination. I disliked Tate to the point I was not sure I could ever really like her regardless of how she improved herself. Fortunately, Jim was such a good guy that I didn’t just give up on the book when I was so irritated with her. Would Jim get what he really wants and deserves? Grab your copy and find out!

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.
