5 Secret Baby stories for your reading pleasure...
Spring It On Me I’m not an easy guy to get along with. Or so I’ve been told. Something about over-domineering, alpha-hole, and rich rubs people the wrong way. But unfortunately, thanks to my success, I need a new secretary. Or rather, I’m being forced to take on a new admin, and the conditions are clear—I’m not allowed to fire her for a year. So I hire a single mom with a pretty smile. Everyone likes her. Everyone but me. She’s got more fire than I expected. I’m falling for her stubborn nature and finding myself wanting to bend my rules of relationships to please her in any way I can. And then… she leaves. Quits without warning. Seems she has a secret. One an orphan like me can’t swallow without choking. My baby.
Give Me the Weekend What do I look like, a baby machine? I swear all my family wants from me is kids. Or at least my mother does. But I’m the black sheep of the family. The one that left for bigger and better things. No farm for me. I’m a self-made billionaire bad boy now. All is well in my bachelor-like world until I rent a cottage on my property to a beautiful grade-school counselor. This woman shouldn’t be out of my league, but it feels like she most certainly is. Good thing she falls for me too. I need a fake girlfriend to take back home, and I’m hoping she’ll be up for the ruse. Which she is not. Go figure. Things don’t always work out the way I plan, especially when she’s hiding something from me. A baby. One I didn’t think I wanted until it was inside of her. She’s walking away and I’m begging. I don’t need forever to win her back. Just give me the weekend.
My Last First Kiss She was my first kiss. And I'm thinking she'll be my last. It's been years since I saw her, and now she's all grown up. Stunning. Independent. Mine. I never wanted to return back home, but my mother's dying. My daughter needs some time with her. The one thing I left behind when I ran from my past was Rein. I was an idiot for messing things up with such a perfect woman. And she's haunted me since. Now I'm going after my second chance. Especially since she's carrying my baby. One night. One chance. One last kiss.
Our Little Secret Dating university staff is against the rules. Dating being the key word. We met at a staff mixer, and it was all I could do to keep my hands off of her. She’s everything I want in my life and my bed, but I’m on track to achieve my career goals. A beautiful smile and great hips aren’t messing up that plan. Until I figure out that she’s carrying a secret around campus. Our little secret. Crazily enough, this woman turns out to be the Dean’s daughter. The tighter the situation gets, the more I realize rules were made to be broken.
My One and Only She’s every fantasy I’ve ever had, and she was mine. For one night. And then she left to LA to become a rockstar. My Clark Kent appeal wasn’t enough to keep her around, but she missed out. After graduating law school and becoming the alpha male jack-ass type that she always loved, I returned the favor. One more night of passion, but it was my turn to break her heart. All these years later and her band is in bankruptcy, and I’m on the wrong side of the courtroom. Winning is everything to me, but I already played the game and lost against her. I can’t do it again, especially not when I find out she’s a single mom with a pretty little girl. A little girl that looks – Just. Like. Me. No way she’s been keeping our baby a secret from me all these years. If so, the final joke has always been on me. She was, is, and will always be - My One and Only.
Have we met? No? Well it's time to end that tragedy.
I'm a former firefighter/EMS guy who's picked up the proverbial pen and started writing bad boy romance stories. I co-write with my sister, Ali Parker, but live in Texas with my wife, my two little boys, my daughter, two dogs, three cats, and a turtle.
Yep. A turtle. You read that right. Don't be jealous.
You're going to find Billionaires, Bad Boys, Military Guys and loads of sexiness.
Something for everyone, hopefully. I'd love to connect with you. Check out the links below and come find me.
A boxed set of five books by Weston Parker is a deal! I love secret baby stories and the thought of why each woman thought a good idea. All these in one place. I couldn’t put down. Great pace, relatable and happy endings. Each story different set of circumstances and understandable. *I was given a copy and am voluntarily giving my honest review.
Spring It on Me Urk! This pair. In so many ways they’re complete opposites but in others they’re frightfully similar. Everything Ashton’s achieved, he’s done so through his own hard work and perseverance. Willow has the ferocity of every momma bear worth her claws. But where Willow is outgoing and gregarious, Ashton could be the dictionary definition of an iceman. Together, their chemistry lights up every page of this book. Whether they’re fighting or f- er… making up, the sparks are always flying. I was a little distressed to see that this story almost took the secret baby route, and I was very glad to see it detour before it got that far. And once again, the ending is one of the cutest things I’ve read since the last Parker book. Give Me the Weekend This was a very sweet slow build romance. There were a times that I despaired over how slowly it built, but overall, I really enjoyed watching Taydom and Elsie get to know one another before the chemistry took over. I loved how independent Elsie was and I really appreciated that Taydom wasn’t the same kind of jerk player as his best friend. Like so many Parker books before this one, the ending is my favorite scene. It’s silly and sweet and just captures all the feels. My Last First Kiss A completely precious second chance romance with a wild and crazy emotional rollercoaster ride. One of these days I’m going to remember that the evil genius authors who make up Weston Parker are guaranteed to have me a bawling mess by the end of a title, because that’s what happened in this one (too). The story of everything that Brayden and Rein go through asked me to experience just about every emotion I can name, from the euphoric highs to the tragic lows and every sweet, silly moment in between. The connection between this pair resonates off the page, it’s so strong. It had to be to last the ten years they’ve been apart. Even though Brayden and Rein are such vibrant, complex leading characters, the supporting cast nearly runs away with the story on them. I especially adored Bella. She’s such a precocious little angle that she stole every scene I saw her in. Our Little Secret These two are adorable together. Frustrating but adorable. There’s a hint of opposites between them in Lukas’ desire to control all the variables he possibly can and River’s need to escape the control she’s felt like she’s always been under. When the main obstacle for them to overcome was presented I was very curious to see how they would work around it. Their solution wasn’t anything like I was expecting, and that made it exciting for me to see how it played out. There’re lots of big emotions and angst in this book, which kept my reality-TV-loving heart completely hooked on the story. Now that I’ve seen Lukas and River’s success, there’s a couple of the secondary characters that I’d love to see get to star in stories of their own. My One and Only I’m a sucker for a second chance story. When the couple in question is carrying around as much anger and bitterness towards each other as Kya and Leo are, it’s so satisfying to watch them find their way back into balance with each other. The people we love the most are the ones with the most power to hurt us and Kya and Leo do a frighteningly good job of showing us that. I loved the sparks this pair strikes off each other every time they’re in the same room. Their chemistry is volatile, but it showcases a love that is just so sweet. The ending is perfect, and I would love to see Leo’s buddy Jon get a story of his own. I received a complimentary advance copy of this book from the author.

This is the story of a terminally ill mother’s wish to reunite her workaholic widowed son, Florida oil conglomerate and single father, Brayden Hennie with his first love, struggling Valdez, Alaska artist Rein but it is also the story of four good friends finding love and contentment in the cold small town of Valdez, Alaska 18+ for multiple extended gymnastic intimate scenes.
4. Book 4 Our Little Secret 4 Stars I received a free copy of the steamy Richmond, Virginia set novel Our Little Secret: A Taboo Secret Baby romance in the Secret Baby Boxset by Weston Parker, and this review was given freely.

Drama and misunderstandings are mixed with steamy scenes and some humor in this heartwarming and realistic instant attraction of opposites romance where two one-nightstands between the introverted and career-conscious financial stability-seeking university business and finance professor Lukas Constantino and the often-reticent and introverted painting professor River Owens leads to surprised and life-changing meetings with the college Dean, who Lucas discovers is also River’s controlling father. 18+ for extended intimate scenes.
5. Book 5 My One and Only 4 Stars I received a free copy of the steamy Chicago-based novel My One and Only in the Secret Baby Boxset by Weston Parker and this review was given freely. Filled with drama, I kept changing sides in this reunion novel of childhood friends and neighbors. I quickly became invested in the characters, and while I initially felt sorry for Leo, I quickly grew to dislike his womanizing playboy character who continually vied for the approval of his cold and callous status-focused father. Despite that, this story contains a cute four-year-old, Kya’s large supportive rocker family, and a heartwarming ending.
The Secret Baby Box Set has five enticing stories that are heartfelt and will keep you glued to the pages cheering on these inspiring characters to get their chance for happiness. I enjoyed all five stories but Our Little Secret, Give me The Weekend and Spring it on me stood out for me. In the first story “Our Little Secret”, Luka and River will keep you drawn to their drama. River is fed up with her father's domineering ways. She has no life thanks to her dad but Luka offers her an alternative! This is a well written story that will have you cheering River on to getting the freedom and happiness she deserves. In the next story “Give Me the Weekend”, What started out as a ploy will have you all caught up in Taydom and had Elsie's drama. Elsie had recently lost her mother and was getting her life back together when she met Taydom at a house showing. Taking him up on his offer to help her find a place will draw the two closer than either one expected and when he takes her to meet his parents under false circumstances just may cause Taydom the best thing he ever had. Will it be too late to correct his wrong and get back into good grace with Elsie? This story pulls at your heart strings and have you in Taydom and Elsie's corner to make it to a happily ever after. My last story that stood out for me is “Spring It on Me”. In this story Ashton and Willow will touch your hearts in this endearing story. Ashton doesn’t have any people skills and when he fires his secretary, his partner hires one with the stipulation that he can’t fire her for a year. Willow is a woman that knows how to take charge and demand respect. She is a no- nonsense woman and her directness rub Ashton the wrong way in other words they are total opposites. As they find a common place between them Ashton realizes he is opening up towards her and feelings are beginning to develop. But given his upbringing, can he hope for a happily ever after with the feisty Willow? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this box set for an honest review.
Give Me the Weekend - Elsie has recently decided to return to school and that starts with finding a new place to live. Taydom is a successful man who meets Elise by chance but when he offers to rent her his guest house a casual relationship develops however when he needs her help with his family things are about to get complicated.
My Last First Kiss - It’s been ten years since Brayden left Valdez and Rein, his girlfriend, behind with no explanation until he returns with his daughter to be there for his mother. Rein was devastated when Brayden left without telling her and she wants nothing to do with him but will Brayden be able to convince her to give their love a second chance?
Our Little Secret - Lukas is focused on his career as a college professor and his family, and he can’t afford to be distracted however when he meets River the sparks fly. River is not only a fellow professor but the daughter of the dean as well. She knows that any personal relationship between them is off-limits but despite that fact they are unable to keep their distance and that’s when the complications really begin.
My One and Only - Kya and Leonard met while they were in high school however their lives took them in very different directions. When hey meet again five years later Leo is a lawyer and Kya was a popular rock star until it ends in heartbreak once again. The next time they meet they are on opposite sides of a courtroom with Leo determined to win but what happens when the secrets of their past are revealed?
Polar opposites, Professor River Owens, who teaches art, and Professor Lukas Constantino, who teaches business and finance, meet formally at a staff mixer. There they have a few drinks, bond with the Karaoke machine, and decide to share a ride home, but then he pulls her into his townhouse and they “share” a whole lot more that includes an explosion of steamy chemistry! But, there are the slight issues of the no fraternization clause in the university’s ethics canon and the broken condom.
Add into the equation that university Dean Miller, a strict by-the-rules administrator, is also River’s controlling father, and readers are in for a wild ride to the couple’s illusive HEA. Come along with River, Lukas, and their besties Gwen and Brad, as they strive to overcome the roadblocks of their pasts.
Weston Parker has once again penned a complicated, unputdownable novel filled with loss, longing, passion, anger, determination, and a second chance. All the books in the Secret Baby Boxset are beautifully written with endearing characters, and this one is no exception. Grab them during this sale, and you will be surrounded with love and passion!
I received this book as an ARC reviewer and voluntarily leave my honest opinion.
With this box set you will get five great stories. Each book is a standalone that leaves you with a HEA and can be read in any order. Each book is told in dual first person POV and is filled with humor, drama steamy chemistry, side characters that help to bring the story together and love.
•Spring It On Me: I loved this book. I loved Ashton and Willow. I loved that Ashton was the grumpy alpha boss that was put in his place by his new secretary. I loved that Willow wasn’t afraid to stand up to Ashton and put him in his place. I loved all of her witty comebacks and Ashton’s reactions. I loved how Willow went all momma bear on both the people who threatened her son, Jake as well as Ashton. I loved that when the conflict arose, Willow did what she had to in order to not make Ashton feel pressured or used. I love how he came around and did the right thing.

I received an advanced readers copy via BookFunnel from the author. These thoughts and opinions are my own and left after reading for my own enjoyment.
You'll enjoy this collection of five romances with a common theme of secret babies. The books are all different with different characters, but one thing they have in common are alpha men and feisty women. Precious babies that were not planned but end up changing lives forever and for the better. Included are Spring It On Me, Give Me the Weekend, My Last First Kiss, Our Little Secret and My One And Only. Prepare to lose a little sleep because once you start reading you won't be able to stop. Great, well-developed characters and engaging story lines. I read the individual books via the author and read again once the box set was available. They're that good. I voluntarily chose to review it.
This is an ideal bundle of secret baby books. There are five in the set, with plenty of variety which kept me entertained for hours. Each book is a standalone, so don’t need to read this set in any particular order. There’s a grumpy boss, a fake romance, second chance romance, ‘forbidden’ romance and a childhood friends/ second chance romance. All are well written with interesting characters, some I found more likeable than others at first! Plenty of twists and turns in each book to add that little bit of excitement in wondering whether they’ll be able to reach their hea. Had a good few hours of enjoyable reading with this set and was left with a happy, warm feeling when they were finished.
This box set has some outstanding books. Each book is well written with realistic, believable characters. The stories are exceptional! The plots are well developed with complex storylines that are interwoven seamlessly. I was caught up in the twists and turns of storylines. I loved that I could read the books in any order.
I received this box set as an ARC from Bookfunnel for my honest review.

I read this entire Boxset in one sitting. I was attached to the characters from the first chapter of the first book. Weston really brought each couple to life and had me laughing, crying, and wanting to shake the ever loving crap out of the characters when they were acting like idiots. They each got their HEA and I’m here for it.
I loved this box set. I'm not always the biggest secret baby story reader, but these were good books. I binge-read the first two in a day, and enjoyed the others a day after. Love this box set that lets you read a bunch of good books wrapped up in a sweet setting.
