When Adalynn’s best guy friend comes over, he sees the pamphlets for her to have a baby on her own.

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.
