As the only daughter of the wealthy Harrison clan, Tess Harrison has everything—except the baby she longs for. With no husband in sight, she escapes to her family’s retreat in Aspen, Colorado, visions of sperm donors dancing in her head. Instead, she finds Logan Carter. When the ruggedly handsome manager of the Harrison ski house offers to be her baby daddy in exchange for her playing his girlfriend, Tess is breathless to begin the charade. After all, the brokenhearted heiress knows better than to fall in love . . .

She would be Logan’s dream girl, if his dark past had left him with any dreams. Now the brooding bachelor’s only hope is to satisfy his mother’s dying wish to see him happily paired off—and give lovely Tess the baby she longs for. But when he and Tess opt to make a baby the old-fashioned way, he’s fighting hard against the longing to hold on to the elusive Harrison beauty forever . . .

My Review:

Not having read other books by the author before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading Between You and Me, needless to say I was very impressed with how well the author executed the story from start to finish. At the beginning of the book we get to meet Tess Harrison, a workaholic who hasn’t really had good luck in the romance department. When she sees that the rest of her siblings are getting married and having children, Tess becomes fixated on the idea of having her own little family without having a husband/partner. So after telling her family that she is taking some time off everyone is shocked and worried about her, but all she tells them is that she going to finally take a vacation and she selects Aspen to spend a couple months in. This will give her time to think about what she is about to do and find a good sperm facility to start the process. But when arrives and sees her house manager, Logan Carter things start to take a different turn in her plans. They soon realize that they have a lot in common and that they have chemistry, but Tess knows that what they have will need to end soon. That does not stop her from asking him to be her donor and after a lot of thinking he agrees.

Logan Carter has always has a crush on Tess, ever since he got the job as the Harrison’s house manager. Over the years, he saw less of her but when she shows up again he takes the opportunity to spend time with her. As their friendship starts to grow so does her feelings for her, but he doesn’t want relationship or children and he makes sure she knows that. But as her friend he wants to help her and that’s exactly why he agrees to be her sperm donor while taking things the old- fashioned way. Soon he starts to see that being with Tess might just be what he has been looking for all along. 

I absolutely loved reading this book, it was sweet and full of possibilities that had me reading until the very end. The characters were refreshing and relatable. Tess has been so focused on her career that she longs to have a family of her own. Yet, she doesn’t have a partner and she decides that she doesn’t need one. She takes charge of her life by making bold decisions, but the universe had other plans for her. Now she has to decide if she wants to be in a relationship with Logan or not. On the other hand, Logan is kind and caring. He wants to make Tess happy no matter what and if she needs him to be her sperm donor he’ll do it. He is totally swoon worthy, you will not want the story to end! Although the story focuses on Tess and Logan, we also get to see them interact with each others’ families. Tess’s brothers care for her and we get to see the playfulness in them, while Logan’s mom is funny and kind. In the end we get a well developed story from beginning to end. Jennifer Gracen has definitely delivered a great story, perfect for the holidays. I would highly recommend reading this book, you will not regret. :)
