Zack and Collette have been mere acquaintances for years through a mutual friend. But when he overhears Collette’s ex badmouthing her, Zack feels compelled to seek her out to ensure she is ok. Though they’ve always felt an attraction, neither has ever pursued anything other than friendship. But when Collette tells Zack about her crazy desire to have a baby without any romantic ties, he’s ready to take on the challenge to help her out. But what begins as a simple plan to conceive a child quickly escalates to a deep-seated passion and a love neither Zack nor Collette were expecting to find. It’s Lili Valente’s amazing characters like Collette and Zack combined with her incredible ability to deliver witty and steamy romance that keeps her on top of my favorite authors list. With each story she releases, she continues to deliver a hot, passionate romance combined with fun and memorable stories that make me fall in love with her characters over and over again.

I adored Zack and Colette! These two didn't have any unnecessary drama going on, although there was a smattering of angst in the story, and you know I have a thing for angst (not to be confused with drama-rama). It was as if Fate finally said, "Well, here's your chance! Get to know each other and get it on already!" They were at a point in each other's lives were they were welcoming change, but neither realized the roles they would play in the shift in trajectory. Their coming together felt natural. There was nothing forced about them, and while getting to their happily-ever-after was certainly not without its challenges, I never doubted their connection. While this is more a companion novel, saying goodbye to the world that began with The Bangover and ends with The Rock Star's Baby Bargain is bittersweet. I'm going to miss these couples but excited for whatever's next. Five-plus stars. ♥

The Rock Star's Baby Bargain is a standalone in the Bangover series by the talented and hilarious Lili Valente. I don't know how she does it, but Lili continues to deliver the laughs, sexiness, fun and love again and again. This is Zack's story! I feel like I've been waiting a long time to see Zack fall and it was everything I wanted it to be. Zack is sweet, kind, sexy and talented. Colette is friend of a friend, so not a stranger. They've known each other for a while, but there was never any chemistry or a strong connection until they both find themselves single and then it's game on. Colette desperately wants a baby and her clock is ticking. She never once thought Zack would be interested in helping her out, but he is. He really, really is. He needs to work on his solo album anyway, so he invites Colette to spend a few weeks with him. He can write, record and be with a sexy, lovable woman. Is it possible to fall for someone in only a few days? Yes, yes it is! I loved how Zack and Colette just knew. They knew they were meant to be together. There are a few obstacles, but they know what they have to do. I loved that it was just fun, sexy and low angst. The perfect thing I needed in my life! Overall, I love Zack and Colette and how sweet and dirty they are!
