About the Book

When small-town bartender Sawyer Sutton catches the eye of Beckett Montgomery, their connection burns as bright as the fireworks at the country fair. She isn’t afraid to tell the wealthy property developer what she thinks of his profession, and he finds her passion for the community endearing, even if old-fashioned. After a fervent one-night stand, they go their separate ways with only memories to remind them of what they shared.

Or so they thought.

Six weeks and two pink lines later, Sawyer and Beckett find themselves tied together in ways they never imagined. Becoming parents wasn’t something either of them had planned, but as the countdown to the due date begins, the two must learn to work together despite clashing personalities. The more time they spend together, the harder it is for them to ignore the sizzling chemistry that got them into this position in the first place. The only thing standing in their way now is themselves.

Review

Make It a Double was a decent read overall. I wasn’t blown away by it, but I didn’t dislike it either.

I felt pretty indifferent about Sawyer. As the main character and part of the romance, I expected to find her more interesting than I did. Her relationship with her grams was sweet, though grams appeared so briefly. Also, I especially enjoyed her friendship with Olivia. Their friendship was sweet and added some nice moments to the story.

As for the romance, there certainly was chemistry. There were a lot of genuinely sweet moments between them. Beckett was supportive; however, he felt a little too perfect at times. I did really enjoy that he asked for Duke’s help to prepare himself for becoming a father. It was a small detail that showed how seriously he was taking that new role. I also loved that Beckett was honest with Olivia and Duke about his father’s plan rather than keeping it a secret. That spoke to his character. Unfortunately, after all the buildup around his father, that subplot ended anticlimactically. I expected a little more from that conflict. I will say I didn’t appreciate Beckett’s nickname for Sawyer. For a city boy, the pet name never felt particularly authentic to his character. I would have preferred something else that felt more natural coming from him.

One of the strongest parts of the story was the pacing. The story flowed smoothly without dragging, but it also didn’t feel rushed or too short. It was an easy book to get through.

Final Thoughts

Make It a Double wasn’t a bad book. There were sweet moments, good chemistry, and some relationships I really enjoyed. I do wish I had loved Sawyer a bit more.
