ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 28, 2024
If you can’t ask your best friend to get you pregnant then who can you ask?
Adalynn Tate made a promise to her childhood friend.
They vowed that they’d do everything together, including marrying their junior high crush and having all their babies at the same time.
Her friend has succeeded. She got the guy, and the first bun is in the oven.
Now it’s Adalynn’s turn to make her own dreams a reality.
When Adalynn’s best guy friend comes over, he sees the pamphlets for her to have a baby on her own.
Cash does what any best friend would do – offers his free, platonic services instead of extra medical bills.
He doesn’t know Adalynn has had a crush on him since junior high, something she’s done her best to lock down deep as not to threaten their friendship.
Adalynn knows in this world you don’t get to have it all: the baby, the man, the fairytale.
But Cash has other plans for her.

REVIEW:EASIER SAID THAN DONE is the second instalment in Marie James’ contemporary, adult LINDELL erotic, romance series focusing on the small town of Lindell Texas. This is police chief Cash Tucker, and baker Adalynn Tate’s story line. EASIER SAID THAN DONE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Adalynn and Cash) EASIER SAID THAN DONE follows the best friends to lovers relationship between Adalynn and Cash. Adalynn Tate has been in love with her best friend Cash Tucker for years but when Adalynn’s best friend Madison announces her pregnancy, Adalynn is determined to have a baby on her own. Cash Tucker doesn’t’ do relationships, and in the wake of his less than optimal childhood, Cash claims he doesn’t want children either but when Cash discover Adalynn is going to use an anonymous donor, Cash offers up his services to make a baby the old fashioned way. What ensues is the struggling relationship between Cash and Adalynn, and the fall-out as jealousy and misunderstanding threaten a life-long friendship in the face of a broken heart.
The world building focuses on the life-long friendship between our story line couple. Both Cash and Adalynn have loved one another for as long as they can remember but making a baby comes with the fall-out of jealousy and miscommunication, and in this Adalynn begins to push our hero, out of her life.
The relationship between Cash and Adalynn is a best friends to lovers in which Cash is determined to father Adalynn’s child but Adalynn knows Cash never wanted to have children, and the ramifications threaten their friendship when Adalynn suspects there is someone else. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and provocative-Cash likes to talk dirty in the bedroom.
The colorful secondary and supporting characters include many of the locals as well as Adalynn’s over-protective brothers Donnie and Ronnie, and their parents and step-parents: Robin and Donald, Gina and Charlie:bar owner Walker Conroy, Cash’s assistant Eastyn; single mother Claire, Madison and Chase, and Sheriff Mike Hodson.
EASIER SAID THAN DONE is a story of family and friendships, secrets and lies, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is riveting and heart breaking; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined and dynamic.
