Plan B – Jana Aston

I’m pregnant

My baby daddy is both heir to a retail empire and impossible to get ahold of?

I do what any girl would. I break into his Grandfather’s retirement gala by telling the prissy gatekeeper Kyle’s my fiancé. It was a halfway decent plan at the time, trust me.

But it blows up in my face, disastrously so. You see, Kyle Kingston is all about representing the family values his family’s retail empire was founded on.

He proposes – a marriage of convenience.

Convenient for everyone but me, because while I’m falling in love with my convenient husband, he’s keeping a billion-dollar secret. From me.

Well Suited: A Surprise Pregnancy Romance Book – Staci Hart

Science is my love language.

There’s no magic to falling in love. A shot of dopamine, a dash of serotonin, and a sprinkle of oxytocin—and bam. You’re in.

And when egg meets sperm, you’re pregnant.

Staring down at the little blue plus sign. I know exactly when and how, and with whom it happened.

’m having the baby, and he insists we’re well-suited to have it together. And what’s worse? He wants more, in the way of love and marriage.

But love isn’t real. It’s just a product of chemistry.

And if he changes my mind about that, we’re both in trouble.

When she and her best friend go to Boise for a night out, the handsome stranger Delaney meets seems too good to be true.

Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake – Mazey Eddings

Lizzie has made endless mistakes. Kitchen fires, pyramid schemes, bangs (of the hair and human variety), you name it, she’s done it… and made a mess of it too. One mistake she’s never made is letting anyone get closer to her than a single hook-up. But after losing yet another bakery job due to her uncontrolled ADHD, she breaks her cardinal rule and has a two-night-stand that changes everything.
Through a series of mishaps, totally “platonic” single bed sharing, and an underground erotic baking scheme, Lizzie and Rake learn that even the biggest mistakes can have the most beautiful consequences.

On the ice, Tucker’s fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn’t hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes.

Awk-weird – Avery Flynn

There’s more to me than just being awk-weird. I own my own flower shop, have some great friends, and I have my eye on adopting the most adorable kitten. But sadly, hot guys don’t tend to be blown away by my trivia-spouting, dorky self.

So when a Thor-lookalike who happens to be a professional hockey player hits on me at my bestie’s wedding rehearsal party… You better believe I climbed that tree like a cat. And the fact that it happened not once, not twice, but three times? Yeah, that’s pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a woman like me.

There’s zero chance I’ll end up ever seeing him again…right?

Until the pregnancy test comes up positive. What happens next?

Floored: An Accidental Pregnancy Romance Book – Karla Sorensen

Have you heard the one about the impulsive American grad student and the broody Brit who argued about which kind of football was better?

It’s a good story, especially because it ends with me clutching a pregnancy test in my tiny Oxford flat.

In my defense, it was never meant to be more than a harmless flirtation. But he was just sitting there, with his accent and his muscles and his tattoos, telling me that his football was better than the one I grew up watching my brother play. Next thing I knew, that flirtation got a whole lot hotter and even though I wasn’t sure I’d ever see him again—my mystery Brit—it was the kind of night a girl goes to her grave remembering.

Hollywood Prince- Natasha Madison

A blonde, a brunette, a redhead…he can have his pick of them all on any given night and he knows it.
They wait, hoping he looks up and gives them his signature smirk, choosing them over the others because that’s his game. Except now he’s signed the contract of a lifetime, one with a pesky little clause that says his zipper must stay up and his playboy image has got to tamp down.
It’ll be fine—a piece of cake, even—he can do this and he’s almost convinced himself of that … and then she walks in the room.

RoomHate – Penelope Ward

When my grandmother died and left me half of the house, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise. The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago. The same teenager who’s now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match.
I hadn’t seen him in years, and now we’re living together because neither one of us is willing to give up the house.
I could see through that smug smile. Beneath it all…the boy is still there. So is our connection.
The problem is…now that I can’t have Justin, I’ve never wanted him more.

Cheat Codes – Emily Goodwin

Archer has always wanted what he can’t have—Quinn Dawson. Since the moment he saw her, he’s been denying his feelings for her, ignoring the void in his heart he knows only she can fill.

Everything about them was wrong, the kind of wrong that felt so right. But none of it mattered. Not the terrible timing. And definitely not the mess it would create if Archer made a move on his best friend’s baby sister.

It was supposed to be one night, but one night is all it takes to make everything more complicated, and they only have nine short months to sort it all out.

No, none of it mattered. Until it did.

Rocked Up – Karina Halle & Scott MacKenzie


I’ve been watching him since I was a teenager.

Today I’m auditioning to be the replacement bass player for Brad’s band. If I get the job, I’ll go on tour and work with Brad every day, in very close proximity.
There’s only one rule: he’s not allowed to touch the boss’s daughter.

My name is Lael Ramsey and we all know how this will turn out.

Wrong – Jana Aston

 I have a history of picking the wrong guy. Gay? Player? Momma’s boy? Check, check and check.

Now I can’t stop fantasizing about one of the customers at the coffee shop I work at between classes. It’s just a harmless crush, right?
It’s not like I ever see this guy outside of the coffee shop. It’s not like I’m going to see him while attempting to get birth control at the student clinic.
While wearing a paper gown. While sitting on an exam table. Because he’s the doctor. Shoot. Me. But what if, for once, the man I’ve had the dirtiest, most scandalous fantasies about turned out to be everything but wrong?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pregnancy trope in romance?

Most often, the pregnancy trope occurs accidentally. The surprise pregnancy usually occurs between two people who are not in a relationship, and increasingly often, between two people who shouldn’t be together. Almost all pregnancy romance books include a surprise pregnancy as opposed to a planed pregnancy.

What is MFM romance?

Male/Female/Male romance. Whilst this is commonly referred to as a ‘love triangle’, where two straight men both fall in love with the same woman, we should point out a true love triangle only occurs if all partners love each other, such as in Xiran Jay Zhao’s Iron Widow. Some LGBTQ+ activists are calling for this popular trope to be referred to as a love-triad instead, which we think is a great substitution.

Which books should you read while pregnant?

Best answer is always read what ever you want to read! However, probably best to avoid any books with a child/horror or thriller element, especially as a new parent! Pregnancy romance books might be perfect to make you feel fully immersed in the story!
