Publisher's summary

Embittered single dad Duke has sworn off love forever. Unfortunately, his daughter just met the mother of her dreams.

Millie

I have it all. I work my dream job doing animal-assisted therapy, I live with the four best friends in history, and I own an actual pair of Louboutins. I should be content. Right?

Except, ever since an adorable toddler begged me to be her momma, I want more, and an insta-family is my only chance at motherhood. Unfortunately, her absurdly hot NFL star dad isn't quite as enthusiastic about me as she is. In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd think he was avoiding me.

At least until his nanny leaves abruptly mid-season. Now, he's knocking down my door, pleading with me to help watch the little girl I've already fallen in love with.

And the more he knocks, the more I'm in danger of falling for him, too.

Duke

Never get married. Seriously, people, don't do it. If you never get married, your influencer wife can't abandon you and your baby during the middle of your cancer treatments. It doesn't matter that you kick cancer's butt or come back to the NFL stronger than ever.

Love is for suckers, which is why meeting the intriguing, far too-intuitive Millie Campbell is so frustrating. Isn't it enough that she's drop-dead gorgeous? Does she also have to be the mother of my daughter's dreams?

Love is a brutal sport, and I have no intention of playing it ever again. But if I do get back in the game, Millie needs to know one thing:

I play for keeps.

Baby Llama Drama is a sweet and swoony, closed-door romcom with sizzling chemistry, delightful banter, and an adorable llama. It features growth, grown-ups having real conversations, dry shampoo, an unhealthy amount of Diet Coke, and, of course, a happily ever after.

This book deals with themes of loss, abandonment, anxiety, imperfect parenting, pregnancy complications, and chronic illness.

Baby Llama Drama by: Kate Watson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Don't let the cover fool you, this book covers deep topics along with the romance. Fans of Cindy Steel, Katherine Center and Jenessa Fayeth will love this story.

📖Duke is trying to support his three year old daughter while also juggling an NFL career. When he asks Millie for help with his daughter Lottie, he ends up with something much greater than he anticipates.

🥰The "Janes" friend group is on full display here. We see each of the friends supporting one another heavily in this story. (They all have the middle name Jane)There are lots of cute barn scenes with the llamas and goats too.

🏈Duke is a famous Carolina Waves quarterback. I enjoyed all the football scenes and his interactions with his teammate Sonny.

👩Lottie is a little girl with abandonment issues and her tantrums are described on page. It's an honest look at childhood trauma.

👗Millie is kind and compassionate. She's a loyal friend and was easy to root for. If you are a caretaker or caregiver in any way, you will relate deeply to Millie. I really appreciated the author not shying away from the emotional needs of caregivers.

❤️There is a sweet romance that develops over time.

🎧Both narrators were excellent

I read books 1 & 3 first, I can safely say these can be read in any order.

Thank you Amber for buddy reading with me. It was fun to chat all my thoughts with you.

My only complaint is I need book 4 immediately and it's not out yet
