Christmas with Daddy's Best Friends

Rate this book
When I had a foursome with my father’s best friends, the last thing I expected for the holidays was to fall in love… with all three men. I’m not the kind of girl who ends up in bed with three men. Much less, pregnant with a baby from one of them. My dad’s best friends are totally off-limits, and I don’t think I can ever pick between the three gorgeous, older silver foxes. Cilian has the looks, the charm, and the Irish accent of my dreams. I’ve always liked him, but I resisted my forbidden crush because I’m afraid Cilian’s money comes from a dangerous career. Luke is a Texan business tycoon who let loose in a way I never expected he would with me that night. But you know what they say about handsome cowboys? That they will never settle down. Zachary is the irresistible older single dad who impresses me with his caring, kind attitude. But I know for a fact just how wild he can get when the curtains are shut. Now, we’re snowed in… with my father, who has no idea one of his best friends has knocked me up. The real question is, how do I pick just one baby daddy? Because all of them are determined to win my heart and my new family, and they aren’t willing to share… or are they?

This story has an interesting inexperienced youn lady and her Dad's Best Friends theme. This Book 5 in The Forbidden Reverse Harem Book Series a believable story, Snowed-in/Forced Proximity and unexpected pregnenacy. This story has unique characters with untriguing histories, engaging personalities and believable interactions. I enjoyed reading how the characters interacted throughout this entertaining surprise baby reverse harem story and thinking she has to choose.

This was a good steamy Christmas read, but her dad got on board WAY too quick to me lol like he should’ve been mad for at least a day, not an hour??

Otherwise, the book started off more realistic to me with the men competing for her love, which I enjoyed. But them all coming together was good too.

First of all, who wouldn't want to be the center of attention for three devoted men?!? I'm not sure how it would play out in real life but it makes for a great book. There is some drama in this situation, which is expected. I loved the different personalities of each of these guys and Mia was such a great character. The support they all have for each other is so sweet. I enjoyed this book!

Mia, Cilian, Luke und Zachary

Die Storyline fand ich als Idee gut, die Umsetzung war jedoch mager. Der Schreibstil war leicht, jedoch stockend, es gab eine wechselnde Erzählperspektive aller Protagonisten aber leider war die Storyline bis zum Ende eher schwach gehalten und vieles passte einfach nicht zusammen.

Mia war eine taffe Frau die sich nie unterkriegen ließ und sich durchsetzen konnte, leider war sie mir auch viel zu kindisch in vielerlei Hinsicht und naiv dazu. Die 3 Männer Zach, Luke & Cilian waren nicht ganz die typischen Geschäftsmänner wie man sie sich vorstellt, denn es blieb einiges offen was nun ihre wahren Rollen in der Geschäftswelt sind.
Die ganze Beziehung war turbulent gehalten und es gab viel zu viel unnötiges, zudem gab es diesen zwar manchmal etwas erheiteren Wettstreit um Mia, jedoch auch nervigen Aspekt, da er sich nie wirklich wie ein Wettstreit an fühlte.

Zudem war alles viel zu überladen und vollgepackt, da die ganzen Handlungen und Ereignisse eher schwach durchdacht wurden und ergeben oftmals wenig Sinn, zumal ich das Gefühl hatte das diese Handlungen nur eingebracht wurden um das Buch unnötig in die Länge zu ziehen.

Es hat sich eher wie eine Geschichte aus der Irrenanstalt gelesen als wie eine Romance und das emotionale hat sehr deutlich gefehlt.

I honestly couldn’t fully connect with this story. Everything happened way too fast — we’re talking about a whole “deep love connection” blooming in less than a week, and it just didn’t make sense to me. Cilian’s background didn’t fit the dynamic at all, and the way he fit into the group felt forced rather than organic.

The FMC didn’t help either. In the beginning she’s basically a little brat, so I couldn’t understand why these mature, supposedly grounded men would suddenly fall for her on some deep level. Sure, for smut it works — she’s young, sexy, and impulsive — but anything beyond that felt unearned.

Even the pregnancy decision, which should have been a huge, mature turning point, came across rushed and underdeveloped. There was no real emotional groundwork or preparedness behind it.

Mia never gets her father's approval over anything she does. So, when she comes to his Halloween party, she is out to rebel against him. She ends up having a steamy game of pool with Luke, Cillian and Zach her father's friends. However, she wouldn't forget their night because she has a little reminder growing inside her. When she reconnects with the men over the Christmas holidays, she starts to fall for all of them. Can they find a way to be together?

This is a steamy story that will hook you in the first chapter. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

Mia was just feeling a little rebellious, and didn't expect what she got. Although it just became complicated, when she finds out she is pregnant and it could be one of three men, who are friends with her father. Will she have to choose just one, either Zachary, Cilian or Luke or can she get them all? I liked this steamy crew, the drama of their stories, the competitive nature of the men, a great Christmas read.

so close

It’s so close to a basic outline of a storyline that could be amazing with more in-depth characters. I would have loved to explore Cillians POV and lifestyle. Alone with Luke and Zack too. Then building their lives and explore more into her daily life of being pregnant verses 2-4 sentences in the entire book about her experience the pregnancy. Verses just saying she’s pregnant. I get that it’s written in novella style so details are skipped but lost opportunity for a good full novel

Realistic? No. Good? Yes.

This book is what I want and expect from the genre. As long as you don't go into this thinking you're going to get Homer's Odyssey you'll probably enjoy it. I am so glad it didn't have a third act break up. I hate those. The part that bothered me the most was phonetically spelling the Irish guy's accent, but I didn't feel like it was enough to warrant any star removal. There are some minor editing mistakes, but not catastrophic.

Mia and the guys

So this is a RH. All men were dads friends and business partners. Mia seduced them all to get back at her dad and walla she is preggers. I was a little concerned because I thought only one used that hole lol. But I guess lots of fluids makes you think all 3. The guys fall for her and decide they are all the dads. We never know who it is (that bugged me) it did have a HEA.

This is a heartwarming read reverse harem read that is a touch forbidden, involves a holiday tryst between a lady and her father's best friends that ends with a surprise and consequences. The story is about Mia, Cilian, Luke and Zachary. It is a sexy and steamy reverse harem about a rebellious lady wanting to prove something to her father. This is a good ready with some immature moments, drama, passion and erotic steaminess.

Tropes

This book covered 3 of my favorite tropes, and while this was a good book and had all the right things, there was just one that I could not get over. I was not a fan of the competition between the guys to win over Mia. I much prefer a Reverse Harem when the guys all get along from the beginning and already know that sharing is caring! Now, with that said, I really didn't mind all to much and did enjoy reading this story.

This author is one of the best at writing enjoyable reverse harem romances that make it possible to quickly relate to all the parties involved. This one is about an amazing Halloween foursome, It's also an enjoyable age-gap story so if you are a fan of either or both genres you should enjoy reading about Mia, Cilian, Luke, and Zachary's adventure and how all four of them became a family.

Review

This was a wonderful read from the heart. I loved every bit of the story from start to finish. The chemistry was so present in each character. Mia and the depth of her emotions were so strong that it was impossible to imagine how much pressure she had in her. The love she has for the family was overwhelming. I can’t wait for more

Not bad

Not too bad, but the whole conception part seems a tad outrageous. The baby was conceived with nothing but precum. Just seems highly unlikely. Although, I won't say it doesn't happen, because I've heard it does. It would just make more sense if they all fully emptied into her

I loved this super steamy RH with three men vying for Mia’s heart after spending an unforgettable foursome together at Halloween. However, what started out as a rebellious plan to show her father that even his friends could be spontaneous, soon turned serious when Mia found herself pregnant. Although I thought Mia was rather immature at the beginning, the news made her grow up fast, but her almost clinical assessment of which of the three men would make the best father seemed a bit too pragmatic and cold. When the men learn of the consequences of their tryst, they each become determined to show Mia that they would be the best man for the job and it was so much fun to watch them try to outdo each other. I don’t know if I would have been able to choose either. While the blurb is a bit misleading and her father is not actually snowed in with Mia and her lovers, when he arrives, he witnesses a shocking scene and Mia is forced to make a life-altering decision.

I made till she decided the best way to deal with her pregnancy was doing a DNA test and talking to the adult men who could be the father was to trick one of them into being the father. Plus she calost her dad daddy no thanks.

Halloween High Jinx

Mia finished college and still had no real direction or passion. She did manage to find three hot older men to flirt with. Great reading with moments of angst and joy. Great holiday reading.

When Mia decides to try her dad's friends it leads to more than she thought

When Mia decides her dad's friends were for her it leads to more than a night of sex it leads to do much more

Spicey quick read

No plot. Barely any romance. Just straight up smut.

I didnt feel any romance between character and they start to blur. It was missing a spark but a quick easy read

different but nice

This was only the 2nd reverse harem I’ve ever read. It was very well thought out and realistic enough scenes that it didn’t leave bug eyed wondering how they pulled that off. Interesting characters it was good
