I love both the single mom and surprise pregnancy tropes. Combining the two is a bold move, and I was initially hesitant, but this story was so sweet that I’ll generously hold back all my jokes about two surprise pregnancies being a pattern rather than a surprise. Or a lifestyle. Or about the heroine needing a reminder about how babies are made. I won’t be joking about ANY of that. Just so we’re clear.
Cortney was the best billionaire ever written, because being a billionaire wasn’t his whole personality. In fact, he didn’t solve a single issue by throwing money at it. He was caring and committed from the start, and it was delightful.
Dylan was a weirdo who believed in the “universe’s plan” and the power of crystals. (I’m glad her stance on vaccines wasn’t specified.) I’m generally not a fan of that type, but she was so chill and lovable that it worked—especially with the surprise pregnancy trope.
The whole commune thing they had going on was pure fantasy—but who cares, reality sucks anyway.

i LOVE an accidental pregnancy when it’s done right and this was perfection!
Courtney was everything a great H could be
✅ obsessed at first sight
✅ not a whore
✅ so supportive
✅ not a whore 😏😏😏
the way he loved everything about Dylan that other people thought were strange was just 🥹🥹🥹🥹
and i hate to say it……but the reason for four stars is Beckett 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 he was so annoying in this book i was so upset. so many times i wanted to just punch him and tell him to shut uppppppppppp 🫣
there was no ow/om drama at allllllll! Courtney has a rule (that he broke for Dylan only) that he doesn’t have sex during the season and he was traded mid season so i’m guessing it’s been a while but no timeline was given and Dylan said her orgasms weren’t always by toy and she would sneak out of a hookup’s room the second they were asleep, but no timeline was given for her and honestly…..HELL YES to a single mom who still has time to get hers 😂
this series is so fun and very safe and just….i love the support and love all the characters give each other

Подобаються книжки де є або мати-одиначка, або батько-одинак. Хоча я і очікувала від цієї книжки якоїсь нудятини, бо в першій книжці, вона мені не дуже сподобалась, не знаю чого. Цікаво спостерігати за взаємодіями Кортні та дітьми інших подруг, особливо за сином Ділан. Від родини Кортні я очікувала якогось хейту що до вагітності Ділан, але вони її прийняли та полюбили, особливо милий момент, коли вони були на прийомі, і у неї боліли ного, його батьки попросили інших зняти взуття, щоб Ділан не було ніяково. Взагалі книжка комфортна, хоча я і очікувала чогось іншого.

It wasn’t my favorite trope and i didn’t think the plot and the mmc/fmc meshed at all.
Bottom line-The vibes were off

I very much liked n1 in the series but I cannot be bothered to continue with this one. Cortney is dull, Dylan’s too shiny and teenage angst is not right up my alley nowadays, so I’ll continue later on.
Or not 💀

DNF at 57%. I’m just bored!
Not a bad book, just not my cup of tea. Didn’t like the family dynamics (way too chaotic) Dylan was a bit too hippy for my tastes. The four women seemed like caricatures, Beckett was too grumpy and uptight (didn’t read his book).
Bored a lot of the time. Not romance heavy, definite slow burn. Lot of family time and scenes with other members of the family. At 57% still very little time with just MC’s. Other characters take up a lot of space and it’s just not doing it for me.

I am in LOVE with this ducking series yall!! I love how all of these ladies have interweaved (interwoven?) so many worlds and characters into this series and then created new series within this world. As a certified series addict, I am in awe! The banter is top notch. The spice scenes are wonderfully delicious. The buildup is great. How the women are all there for each other- it's just so great. I laughed and swooned while reading this one.
We knew sparks were going to fly with Cortney and Dylan at the end of book 1. I am looking at you Beckett and all of your scheming and how it is paying off LOL. I loved Dylan's quirkiness and how she just took what she wanted which was a one night stand with the hot catcher for the Revs. She leaves at the end of the night satisfied, but Cortney finds himself unable to stop thinking about her. He wants more- he wants to get to know her. He is intrigued like he has never been before, and when he finds out she is pregnant he is happy. Dylan expects him to only want to be involved peripherally so she is pleasantly when Cortney asks to move in. He wants to be there with her as much as he can during the season.
So they do it. He moves in. She resists her attraction to him. She can't want more. She has been hurt before from a family with money. She knows how this will go. Except Cortney keeps surprising her. He clearly is also attracted to her. He is being a gentleman. He is trying with Liam (her son). They decide to not fight it anymore and really give their relationship a try. She freaks out though when his family wants to meet her. Not only do they want to meet her, they want her to come to a gala his mom is throwing. This gives her all kind of anxiety because of what has happened with Liam's dad but the entire Miller family proves her wrong- that scene made me SMILE so BIG.
This was a wonderful story! I loved the cast of side characters and have already bought the Fall Out. Jenni has a new series that follows the rest of the Revs' players. I also was intrigued to learn that some of the players Cortney met from his old team ALSO have books. The love that Cortney and Dylan ended up blossoming into was just beautiful. I love that he moved into the crazy house with her. That he never complained. That he was doing it to prove himself to her and to Liam and how it WORKED. I highly recommend this series if you haven't started it yet!

This was freaking cute, and I love Dylan and Cortney's story.
I can't explain it, but they just worked so well. Before they even exchange words, they can already tell with just one glance what the other needs and wants. They perfectly balanced each other out. Where Cortney tends to panic and overthink things, Dylan was the calming balm to him. Where Dylan is the chill person and always lets the universe do its thing, Cortney is more rational and methodical. There's no better word to explain their relationship and chemistry than to say that they complement each other so well.
I know each book in this series has its own charm, but so far, I have really loved this one more than the first. I'm so excited to read Shay and Delia's book. ❤️
PS: This was almost perfect, had only Beckett known when to shut his trap and not ruin and cause issues in the story. I lost count of the urge I had to throttle this fictional guy. And that's saying a lot because I really loved him in his own book. But, maaan, he was so aggravating here. I just hope Cortney won't turn into an insufferable jerk in the succeeding books.

Am I going to devour this series and ignore my TBR? Yes xox
Dylan and Cortney are my favourite so far. They were just so drama free with each other. Although there was anxiety and doubt, they spoke to each other freely so there was no frustration as a reader.
This second instalment was hilarious 🤣🤣 I really do love this concept of a house full of mums and kids. It’s about a thousand tropes thrown in at once but it’s done so well you kind of forget about it and just read.
Star of the book though? BECKETT 🤣❤️ his character has developed perfectly. He’s an actual madman that fits so well with the girls. I almost wish we got his POV just cause I know how funny it would be. I know quite a few people didn’t like Beckett in this book but I’m sorry I thought his meddling was hilarious 😂😭

Narration type: Duet Narration
The Hero: Cortney - he plays professional baseball for the Boston Revs, and he is sent to the team owners’ house. He is sure that he is being punk’d by his teammates when he sees the house. It is four stories and looks like a “dilapidated money pit” and is obviously full of kids. The holiday decorations from the last few holidays are still up in the windows despite the fact that it is July. His teammates told him the teenager that stole his lucky socks lived in that house. He is surprised to find Beckett Langfield there at the brownstone. He had only just been traded to the team after 10 years with New York and he wanted to keep up his winning streak, so here he is.
The heroine: Dylan - she lives in a big brownstone in Boston with her three best friends, the billionaire that is married to one of them, and seven children. Her and her best friends had committed to living in the brownstone together and raising their kids together. When one of them married the billionaire, Beckett Langfield, he moved in as well. Though Beckett had plans of matching up the three other women with men of their own so he would be left with his wife and kids alone. Dylan has one fifteen-year-old son named Liam, who is out at his dad’s house, so she planned on taking advantage of the situation.
The Story: Cortney had noticed Dylan when she was at the stadium earlier that day, which is why he hadn’t been paying attention when his lucky socks got stolen. Dylan was the kind of woman who is pretty laid back and takes life as it comes, with bare feet and comfortable bo-ho chic clothes. She likes to have fun. When she found out that it was her son that took the socks, she went to find them and slipped out of the house, planning on a night of fun. As Cortney was leaving, Dylan came up to him and gave him his lucky socks and accepted his offer for a date.
I really liked both of the main characters, especially Dylan. She was obviously a happy person who keeps a positive attitude no matter what. She was very non-judgmental and has no filter. Though I really wondered about the fact that this was an accidental pregnancy romance, especially when she was thinking back to her college days and the fact that she accidentally got pregnant with her son. Though they did use protection, so it really was an accident. Dylan wasn’t looking for any long-term relationship, though she wasn’t averse to something short term with Cortney. He also was very busy with his career, so didn’t have time for anything else.
This was a fun, heartfelt romance with a unique setup! The brownstone living arrangement added an interesting dynamic, especially with Beckett playing matchmaker behind the scenes. Dylan was such an easygoing, free-spirited character. Her carefree attitude paired with a strong commitment to her unconventional family made her feel really grounded while still bringing that lighthearted charm. The accidental pregnancy angle added an extra layer of intrigue, especially since Dylan isn’t looking for anything long-term. It makes for an interesting contrast: a woman who embraces life as it comes but also has responsibilities that naturally tie her to the past.
This audiobook was told in the main characters points of view via duet narration and was narrated by Maxine Mitchell and Teddy Hamilton. These are two of my favorite narrators and they always do a terrific job. They are both voice actors, have great voices, and are very expressive. Though I did have a bit of trouble figuring out who was talking at times, since Maxine isn’t always great at using different voices for different female characters.

What do you get when four best friends that are all single mums move into a rundown brownstone together? Lot's of fun, that's what!
I liked both Dylan and Courtney's story they were sweet and funny. I am just a huge fan of how this series is written so that each book is not only about the one couple but all the people living in the house. I did get super mad when Beckett told Courtney Dylan's secret.
Looking forward to the next one!

3.5⭐️
Dylan y Cortney
Me gusto como ella es toda libre, cree en el universo, las energías y el se estresa y preocupa por las cosas.
Aun así se complementan tan bien, ellos tienen una noche juntos y de ello sale un embarazo sorpresa.
Me reí mucho como Liam pone a prueba la paciencia de Cortney, hasta lo depilo 🤭
Psdt: No me gusto que Beckett se metiera en la relación, el contarle a Cortney que sería papá y después lo del trato.
Psdt2: Horrible la familia y el papá de Liam.
Psdt3: Dylan, Cortney, Liam y Willow💖

STOP IT. This was so cute!
Cortney was just the sweetest MMC, I couldn’t get enough of him. I loved this accidental pregnancy trope, it was written so beautifully and it was so easy to get into. I ended up devouring it in under 24 hours.
Can’t wait to finish this fun series!
What to expect:
⚾️ baseball romance
🍒 set up (Typical Beckett)
⚾️ single mom
🍒 accidental pregnancy
⚾️ forced proximity / one bed
🍒 anxiety rep

Reread
So much ridiculousness in this one lol, these books are just so cute you make it to the end and can't stop smiling.
Spoilers ahead
Book 2 in the series of moms who're best friends and have banded together to live and raise their kids together.
This is Dylan's story, single mom of a teenaged son and the resident hippy/child care giver. She has a ONS with the new catcher for Beckett's team and gets the shock of her life with a positive pregnancy test.
***
This was cute, the H was amazing.
Dylan was a pretty cool and chill H
Not as many funny scenarios as book 1 because Liam is older and Courtney had to win him over.
I wanted more time with Dylan pregnant and but I guess I'll see her as the series progresses.
This is such a unique and fun series, all the author's are first time reads for me but I'm enjoying the journey
No cheating
Single parent h
Surprise baby
H wasnt a manwhore

Best of the series by far
June 22, 2024
Second book in this series and I can say it will be a forever favorite. I don't know what these authors put into this series but it's everything I love to read and more.
Dylan and Cortney exceeded my expectations, their relationship was so beautiful that I just had butterflies in my stomach for them. Dylan is without a doubt one of the four friends I wanted to read the most, she is very free, very relaxed and the whole theme of the universe (which is what I liked the most about her) had me hooked from the first book, seeing her relationship with her son Liam was beautiful to read, plus how she took the news of her pregnancy so calmly, I love it! !!!! and Cortney, oh Cortney, I love love love, I really didn't see ANYTHING wrong with him, our star baseball player, our beautiful man, who when he found out about Dylan's pregnancy was everything she needed, loving, supportive, understanding...maybe I'm just in love with him? No matter!!! Besides the fact that his relationship with Liam is BEAUTIFUL, he didn't leave him out and did everything to make him like him.
Without a doubt this story gave me life while I was reading it, it is one of those stories that as you read each page you have a silly smile on your face because of how happy it makes you, come on there is NO DRAMA, my God, how well is it written? Everything I felt? Let's just say I'm going to read it again soon.
The author has a way of writing that is so enjoyable to read, I had already read a book by her along with another author : Along Came the Girl and this one, which is just hers, I loved and I hope to read a lot more from her in the future.
📌 I received an e-arc, and this is my honest opinion/review of it.
---
Segundo libro de esta serie y puedo decir que se convertirá en un eterno favorito. No se que pusieron estas autoras en esta serie pero es todo lo que amo leer y más.
Dylan y Cortney superaron mis expectativas, su relación fue tan hermosa que simplemente tenía mariposa en el estómago por estos dos. Dylan es sin duda una de las cuatro amigas que más quería leer, ella es muy libre, muy relajada y todo el tema del universo (que es lo que más me gustó de ella) me tenía atrapada desde el primer libro, ver su relación con su hijo Liam fue hermoso de leer, además de cómo se tomó con tanta calma la noticia de su embarazo i love it!!!!! y Cortney, oh Cortney, amo amo amo, en serio es que no le vi NADA malo, nuestro beisbolista estrella, nuestro hombre hermoso que cuando se entera del embarazo de Dylan el fue todo lo que ella necesitaba, amoroso, la apoyaba, la entendía… ¿a lo mejor estoy solo enamorada de él? NO IMPORTA, además de que su relación con Liam es HERMOSA, no lo dejó por fuera e hizo todo para caerle bien.
Sin duda esta historia me dio vida mientras leía, es de esas historias que mientras lees cada página tienes una sonrisa boba en la cara por lo feliz que te hace, vamos que NO HAY DRAMA, dios mío ¿lo bien que está escrito? ¿Todo lo que me hizo sentir? digamos que la estaré releyendo pronto.
La autora tiene una forma de escritura tan amena de leer, ya había leído un libro de ella junto con otra autora : Along Came the Girl y este que es solo de ella, me encantó y espero leer mucho más de ella en el futuro.

Dylan is without a doubt one of the four friends I wanted to read the most, she is very free, very relaxed and the whole theme of the universe (which is what I liked the most about her) had me hooked from the first book, seeing her relationship with her son Liam was beautiful to read, plus how she took the news of her pregnancy so calmly, I love it! !!!! and Cortney, oh Cortney, I love love love, I really didn't see ANYTHING wrong with him, our star baseball player, our beautiful man, who when he found out about Dylan's pregnancy was everything she needed, loving, supportive, understanding...maybe I'm just in love with him? No matter!!! Besides the fact that his relationship with Liam is BEAUTIFUL, he didn't leave him out and did everything to make him like him.
Without a doubt this story gave me life while I was reading it, it is one of those stories that as you read each page you have a silly smile on your face because of how happy it makes you, come on there is NO DRAMA, my God, how well is it written? Everything I felt? Let's just say I'm going to read it again soon.
The author has a way of writing that is so enjoyable to read, I had already read a book by her along with another author : Along Came the Girl and this one, which is just hers, I loved and I hope to read a lot more from her in the future.
📌 I received an e-arc, and this is my honest opinion/review of it.

Segundo libro de esta serie y puedo decir que se convertirá en un eterno favorito. No se que pusieron estas autoras en esta serie pero es todo lo que amo leer y más.
Dylan y Cortney superaron mis expectativas, su relación fue tan hermosa que simplemente tenía mariposa en el estómago por estos dos. Dylan es sin duda una de las cuatro amigas que más quería leer, ella es muy libre, muy relajada y todo el tema del universo (que es lo que más me gustó de ella) me tenía atrapada desde el primer libro, ver su relación con su hijo Liam fue hermoso de leer, además de cómo se tomó con tanta calma la noticia de su embarazo i love it!!!!! y Cortney, oh Cortney, amo amo amo, en serio es que no le vi NADA malo, nuestro beisbolista estrella, nuestro hombre hermoso que cuando se entera del embarazo de Dylan el fue todo lo que ella necesitaba, amoroso, la apoyaba, la entendía… ¿a lo mejor estoy solo enamorada de él? NO IMPORTA, además de que su relación con Liam es HERMOSA, no lo dejó por fuera e hizo todo para caerle bien.
Sin duda esta historia me dio vida mientras leía, es de esas historias que mientras lees cada página tienes una sonrisa boba en la cara por lo feliz que te hace, vamos que NO HAY DRAMA, dios mío ¿lo bien que está escrito? ¿Todo lo que me hizo sentir? digamos que la estaré releyendo pronto.

Love Dylan and Cortney, but sadly, their story seemed to fall a bit short for me. It started out great and loved getting into some spice quickly….but then it was bland for almost the rest of the book.
And don't get me started on why everyone lives in a run-down hazardous house..

My new toxic trait is listening to any duet narration even when I know going into it that it's going to be terrible.

Um, ok.
Look, all i ask in a romance book is for the fmc and the mmc to spend time together, have chemistry and tension.
Sure, family and chaos and other shenanigans can be part of it, but when we're getting everything else BUT the main couple, this is no longer a romance book.
Plus this was slow burn, so...

Ця історія мені сподобалась більше, але автор емоційно все ж таки не дотягує. Чому я не розумію. Просто хороша історія 4/5

Dylan is the carefree mother who believes the universe shall guide her. And I loved her free spirit and her relationship with her son, Liam. She meets Cortney when her son steals Cort's lucky socks, and from there, they connected and had a one-night stand, but that one-night stand turned into something else when she finds out she's prego. The only thing that pissed me off was Beck butting in. I know he has a plan about the other girls and them meeting their someone ones, but to tell Cortney about the pregnancy before Dylan could have said anything was a low blow move.
After that, we saw the two build a relationship together, and with her son, it was a little rocky for Liam and Cort, but they grew and bonded. There is drama regarding the ex/baby daddy, but it's mostly his family. That man didn't even make an appearance.
I believe I'll skip the next two books in this series since they truly didn't interest me.
No OW/OM drama, no cheating, secondary characters, drama, sexy times, no virgins.

A couple of weeks later...
I'm finally here with the review for this one.
Dylan and Cortney were definitely a match made in heaven. She's the calm to his anxious personality.
Honestly, sometimes I would like to be more like Dylan. She's this free spirit who embraces everything the universe throws at her.
To start, Beckett being the matchmaker of the group is hilarious, and to be honest he's awesome at it. I did want to punch him when he broke the news to Cortney, that was not his place nor his decision. I understand that he was basically trying to protect Dylan but that was not the way. It did piss me off. I loved how their friendship developed, though. He was very supportive.
Now, Cortney living with them was so funny. Starting with Finn wanting to have his hair.
'' I want his hair'' he announced, fluffing my hair around my shoulders. Then he turned to his stepdad ''Bossman, can you buy me his hair?''
Beckett shrugged ''We'll see''
Finn being 100% that Beckett is going to buy him everything he wanted, even Man bun's hair. Iconic.
And the pranks, oh the pranks. When he had his hair dyed blue I laughed so ducking hard. My mind went straight to the Bride Wars scene where Kate Hudson is yelling ''My hair is blue. IT'S BLUE!!''
That was on the funny side, on the romance part?
I loved them so much. He cared for Dylan and Liam, he was freaking out (as he should) about the no walls situation. I loved that he saw Liam as his son, he was already thinking about a fund so he could go to college wherever he wanted to. Cortney did everything he could to bond with Liam, from footing their DoorDash and their swear jar bill (LMAO) to share their hobby.
Honestly, I almost cried when his family accepted and adored Dylan with all his quirks. They had her back, they loved her for who she was. I adored that Cortney trusted 100% on Dylan. With all her crystals, auras, and universe things. She said she's gonna be a girl, he was on board with that without having a test to be sure. As I said, they were made for each other.
Bossman, thank you for paying a lot of money to trade Cortney because you knew he was perfect for Dylan.

Mother Maker by Jenni Bara is a delightful romcom that had me hooked from the first page. Set in a chaotic brownstone filled with quirky characters and adorable raccoons, the story follows the unexpected journey of single mom Jenni and baseball player Cortney after a drunken night leads to an accidental pregnancy. Despite my initial skepticism since I avoid pregnancy tropes at all cost, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the banter and heartfelt romance between these two. The author expertly weaves humor and steam into the narrative, creating a perfect balance of laughter and swoon-worthy moments. As a newbie to the author’s work, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more from her in the future. If you're looking for a feel-good read with plenty of laughs and a wholesome romance, Mother Maker is the perfect choice.

lol speed read this one on KU because i saw a clip of it on tik tok. mediocre at best and probably won’t remember it.

Book two of the Mom Coms and my first Jenni Bara book, I won’t soon forget Dylan and Cortney’s story.
Mother Faker (book one) set the premise of this series as a group of mom friends living and raising their children together. I love a good ‘found family’ trope and Mother Maker further solidified my love for this series!
Cortney is positively swoon-worthy. He does whatever possible to win over his love interest’s teenage son, which is no easy feat. But don’t think he’s all cinnamon and fluff, this man has a mouth and knows how to use it 😉
Cortney was also an interesting MMC- he was open about having anxiety and being a chronic over thinker (hi, me too), and I loved that communication was big between MCs.
Dylan is definitely my favorite mom in the series! She’s super quirky and fun, not afraid to live life and spread her positivity.
Maker Maker was such a refreshing read in the midst of my dark romance and heavy, “hit me in the feels” era ✨
These two have so much amazing chemistry and fun banter (between MCs and other side characters)!

Adorably funny rom-com!
Second read through of Mother Maker: I loved it just as much as the first time! If it involves the Boston Bolts hockey team and/or the Boston Revs baseball team plus the women who surround them and is written by Brittanee Nicole, then I’m definitely going to read it and enjoy every moment of it 😃
First read through of Mother Maker: The first book in this series, Mother Faker, originally came up on my TikTok FYP as an audiobook recommendation, and I’m so happy it did because I LOVE these books so far! Jenni Bara knows how to write a hilarious and cute romantic comedy. The added dynamic of the “mommy community” in the brownstone was unique; I’m excited to see more characters as the overarching storyline develops across the series. Teddy Hamilton and Maxine Mitchell are such an excellent duo for duet audiobooks, and they did a fantastic job on this book! I’m looking forward to the next two books.
